The Snail

It opens its mouth, after some quick gargling sounds it finds its old gravely voice. “Mortal. The Dust. Do you have it?”

The Snail is a mysterious little creature of unknown origin. As the name implies it takes the form of a tiny green garden snail with the notable addition of small boneless arms and pronounced eyes on its stalks. These eyes are glossy black with bright yellow rings for pupils.

The Snail was first encountered by a group of adventurers in an ancient hedge maze. The creature was imprisoned in a fountain of alchemic fire, surrounded by an anti-magic field. The adventurers grabbed the snail and brought it back to Waypoint where it has spent a couple months exploring the town and observing its inhabitants.

The Snails Mission

The Snail claims that it needs to construct a new body for itself. Giving the only justification that "A darkness comes."

To construct this body it has stated that a conduit is required. Currently The Snail sees a prime conduit in the mind sand adventurers scavenged from fellow adventurer Flynn's mind. Currently the majority of this sand is held by the adventurer Shia who has so far rejected The Snail's bargains.

Questline Progression

The Snail had put out a quest requesting a team of adventurers dismantle the operations of a "Mad Kobold Tyrant" and return a specific item to it, as well as confirming the presence of a Red Dragonborn.

The adventurers recovered a Blackened Skull from the deposed tyrant and returned it to the Snail who later conferred with an assassin of Winhime in the short lived Kobold Kingdom.
