“Can I touch your tail?” you ask.

“No, I have enough children tugging on it.” the gnoll grunts.

“I’m an adult! I’m seven years old already.” you say, offended.

She snorts at your words and you decide not to risk disembowelment for the fluff.

Once she’s reached her property, the gnoll stops to catch her breath.

“I’m Rhortra. What’s your name?” she asks.

“I’m Germ. Do you have any tubers I could use for the Thanks?”

She squints at you suspiciously. “Not unless you are willing to pay good copper for them.”

A smaller, male gnoll emerges from the house next to the farm and helps Rhortra lift the pumpkin inside. You hand over the mushrooms.

“Here is your piece.” Rhortra says, whacking a chunk off the pumpkin with an enormous knife. “Where is your home?”

“Up on the rock face above the river, you can see the smoke from the bank. Come by at sunset.” you say.

You nibble the edge of the orange flesh as you walk to the edge of the property. What should you do next?

>Adult?
Kobolds are mature at 6 years old, so you are a young adult. You live with your parents and your grandparents because communal living is necessary in this economy.

Speaking of…you don’t have any copper to buy tubers with. You could find some wild potatoes but the ones from Rhortra’s garden will be of the highest quality.

You drop off your pumpkin to your harried father, who reports that the berries made his stomach turn. The dragon won’t be poisoned, though she’ll appreciate better fruit, and if you don’t have time to get more you’ll have to stick with what you’ve got.

You walk to the village that’s by the river and proclaim yourself available for a few hours of labor. The humans laugh or make crude jokes about the labor you could provide, which you ignore despite your hurt feelings.

Finally, an old crone walks up to you and asks for help guarding her shop while she runs an errand. All you have to do is stand outside and stop anyone from coming in while she’s gone.

Do you:
-Take the job
-Take the job and steal from the shop

You take your spear and follow the crone to her little candle store. Fat cylinders of wax line the window and you breathe in the smell of honey and herbs. She pats you on the head and you’re left alone.

The job is very boring, but you persist, hissing at the stray cat that comes too close and pacing back and forth in front of the door.

“The store is closed.” you repeat firmly. “You may look at the candles in the display and dream about eating them, as I do.”

The human seems surprised you’re standing up to him. “It’s been closed for hours, I need candles to light my home. When is the old hag coming back?”

You don’t actually know and you feel a twinge of uncertainty. You’ve been standing here for what feels like years and you have a meal to prepare.

“Sorry, I’m under orders not to let anyone in.” you say.

To your relief, the human grumbles and walks away without more fuss. After waiting for another hour, the old crone returns.

“Oh! You’re still here.” she says. “I’m sorry for the delay, did you have any trouble?”

You stand tall and attempt a salute. “None at all ma’am.”

“You’re a darling.” she coos. She fishes around in her purse and pulls out a silver coin, which she places in your paw.

You charge up the hill to Rhortra’s farm and knock on the door, perhaps a bit too fiercely. A young gnoll about your size answers, sucking on a dough covered spoon.

“Hi, are your parents home? I need to buy some potatoes and berries.” You show off your silver piece and the kid’s eyes widen.

“Um, yeh…MA! KOBOLD’S HERE TO SEE YOU THEY GOT MONEY.”

Rhortra comes trotting to the entrance, wearing an apron and smelling like roasted nuts.

“Germ, good to see you.” she says warmly. “I’m getting some food ready for the dinner later. Can’t show up without a dish or two.”

“I want your best taters and sour berries.” you hand Rhortra your coin.

“Gods, this is far too much for some produce. I’ll get you change and a bag.” Rhortra bustles away, leaving you with the child again, who tugs on your tail.

You grab the kid’s tail in retaliation and chase him playfully around the entrance while he squeals and smacks you with the slimy spoon until Rhortra returns with a sack heavy with clean tubers and few jars of berries. She also gives you five copper pieces.

“We’ll be down for a dinner in an hour or so.” she says.

“See you soon!” your new friend says.

On the journey back to your cave, you contemplate the history of the Thanks meal. It’s been going on since your grandparent’s day, when the dragon settled in this area and blessed the kobolds with her protection and power.

You’ve never seen the dragon in person, but apparently she has powerful magic and can change her form.

Now’s your chance for some cooking creativity! How do you prepare your bird, taters, berries, and pie?
>>

Slice and bake the tubers with lots of cheese on top


You know what, do that with the bird too
>>
No. 1016030 ID: ab862d

A bit hard to be creative when you only have 4 ingredients and no spices, oil, butter or anything else.

Skin, gut, etc. the bird, stuff it with the pumpkin. Bake the bird in fire until the meat is well done. Cut the tubers into small pieces and bake them next to the bird. Father said the berries are the sauce, so cover the baked bird with that in the end. If you have any spices/salt, or garlic/onions, mix them with the tubers and maybe the bird stuffing.

Bake/roast the bird, mash the taters with butter and milk, mush up the berries to make for a sauce for the meat, use the bird's drippings/fat (or just some kind of oil) with flour to make a gravy for the taters. Pie is on its own, but make sure it has nutmeg.

Traditional!

>Bird
You cleaned the bird when you caught it, and your dad has had it resting in brine. You fill the body cavity with dried herbs, garlic, and onions, and place it in a large clay pan to roast.

>Tubers
You inspect the potatoes and cut them into slices to bake with the bird. They cook faster than the kiwi and you melt some cheese and milk together to coat them.

>Berries
The berries are ripe and you carefully cut them and pick out the pits. After that you mush them together with some honey and put the sauce to the side for later.

>Pie
You’re tired after a long day of gathering ingredients, but you combine your last precious bit of honey, milk, and some valuable nutmeg with the pumpkin your dad has pre-mashed for you, then pour the slop into a stiff dough shell.

As you’re resting and waiting for everything to finish, Rhortra and her family announce their arrival, bearing plenty of food to share. Your family is stunned to see the gnolls, but after you explain they welcome Rhortra inside. There are three gnoll children and they romp with you while you monitor the fire.

Finally, everything is ready and you prepare the dragon’s plate. You take the choicest slices of meat, pie, potato and add a splash of berry sauce.

Your father nods solemnly. It’s time to take the tunnels to the dragon’s den.

You walk very carefully on the bumpy trail. One wrong step could ruin all your hard work.

The tunnels twist, join together, and connect to other warrens dotted throughout the mountains. The air gets colder as you travel deeper.

You’re checking your plate to make sure it’s still warm when another kobold enters your tunnel.

It’s a female kobold around your age, with her own plate grasped in her paws. You take a discrete sniff. Her meat might be livestock instead of a wild bird, but otherwise your food is better.

“Are you doing Thanks Meal too this year?” she asks, leaning over to take her own sniff.

“Yeah, I didn’t know multiple people did it.” you say.

“It’s only one boy and one girl.” she says imperiously, then lowers her voice. “My mother told me whoever has the worse food gets eaten by the dragon.”

The two of you chatter and continue walking for a few more minutes until you start to see an orange glow. You emerge in an enormous cavern, where the great red dragon slumbers on a pile of old treasure.

You announce your arrival, but the dragon doesn’t stir. Hm, you wonder how to get her attention.

Weasel gently bumps her shoulder against yours, and you feel her tail brush your side.

“We have to do our duty.” you say, a note of hesitation in your voice.

She sighs and moves away. “You’re right. Let’s try to put the food near her snout so she can smell it.”

You ascend the hoard to where you can feel the hot breath leaving the majestic dragon. You and Weasel hold your offerings as close to her nostrils as you can.

The dragon stirs with a great rattling of metal. One of her enormous golden eyes opens and focuses on you.

“Is it time for the Thanks Meal already?” She gives an enormous yawn and slowly pulls herself upright. “Let me get into a more appropriate form.”

The dragon glows with magic and rapidly shrinks to the size of a tall human. She sits and takes both of the plates into her lap.

“Er, do you require anything more from us, most honorable and mighty dragon?” Weasel asks.

“Yes, would you happen to know…” the dragon leans over and whispers conspiratorially. “If I missed anything important? Sometimes I sleep in for longer than I should.”

“I think things are okay. There’s a human village growing by the river but I haven’t heard about any wars or plagues.” you say. Weasel’s paw creeps into your own and you squeeze it.

The movement is not missed by the dragon, who gives you a cunning smile. “You know, I offer a variety of magical services to my favored minions.”

“Like what?” you ask.

The dragon furrows her brow and you feel a rush of magic. Ethereal wings sprout from your shoulders, as well as Weasel’s.

“You can hide them by saying ‘wings off’.” the dragon explains. “Otherwise people might get jealous. Also, they only have twenty charges each since you’re sharing.”

It is now time gather everyone and sing and dance around the dragon.

Invite everyone as is thanks tradition to do the ceremonial dance, a whole other group of bolds are in charge of that, and everyone else gets to watch and have food.

You and Weasel practice flying around the cave. The magic wings seem to have some ingrained knowledge so they’re more forgiving than you’d expect and soon you’re chasing after Weasel in the air.

You land next to the dragon who’s muttering to herself. “Thanks Meal, what comes after that? Wasn’t there a dance or something—oh shit.”

She picks up both of you under one arm. “I have to bless this fancy ceremony outside, I’ll fly us there.”

“Ok.” you squeak, ribs a tad compressed. Weasel squirms against you and you lose the ability of coherent thought for a few minutes.

The dragon flies out of a hole at the top of her cave, then circles around the mountain to the hill above river, where the kobolds have prepared a bonfire. You think you spot your home cave’s shine in the dark night.

The dragon drops the pair of you off a good distance away, winks, and leaps into the sky. The bonfire burns bright red and the kobolds whoop with joy.

Final choice:
-Sneak away with Weasel
-Join the celebrations

Sneak away and begin the makeouts. It would not be a bad idea to get some contraception for today though.

This.

If Weasel wants to make out, then make out. If Weasel wants to go party, then go party.

“Do you want to go to the party?” you ask.

“If you want, I guess there’s only one a year.” she says. You can tell she’s trying to be polite.

“Or…” you start.

“Or?”

You raise the jar of oil and the strange rubber sheath the dragon slipped to you before she took off.
