The dragon’s diaphanous wings sweep back from its shoulders to its withered forked tail. Its lips, permanently withdrawn from its toothy maw, snarl with menace, and a

Slavish followers of Kobold! It is I, the Whispering Homunculus. You may recall the time I seized control of Wolfgang Baur’s mind, took over Kobold World Headquarters, and published my own book.

It’s all the oracle’s fault. I’ve been playing a half-orc oracle of stone in one of our bi-weekly campaigns, and I’m having a blast. He is great fun to play.
