This story is a prequel to this story here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/41802-kraken-chaos. My party was in the market for an exotic pet, the black market actually. the group found a very shady looking dragonborn who beckoned them. he simply said: "Want an egg?" which very easily could have been an innuendo, but, the party thankfully didn't think much of it. he showed a collection of exotic eggs. the party saw some beauties, but a particular egg caught their eye. THE ONE EGG I DIDN'T WANT THEM TO BUY!!! The druid could sense that a great evil was within, but the airheaded ranger didn't care. She thought the Druid was crazy anyway. He asked which egg they wanted. The ranger said: "THE REALLY RUGID LOOKING ONE!". The man replied, that one is....... not for sale. The egg was small, so the ranger did the only sensible thing. SLIGHT OF HAND CHECK! She managed to get high enough to snatch it. the group left without the man knowing anything was wrong. while they were on the open seas, the party got attacked by pirates! Kobold pirates! after their boat was rocked, they had to make a Dex check, and everyone succeeded, except the ranger. She dropped the egg she was holding into the abyss of the sea. Later that egg hatched into the menacing Kraken seen in https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/41802-kraken-chaos. What do you think of the story? Leave opinions below! Cheers!

-Ilyara Thundertale
the fact that they were looking for an illegal exotic pet, like a Kraken.
haw is that illegal
i now want to see some art of a kraken hugging the rangers boat shoating "mommy", crushing the boat into bits.
I can’t draw but that would be incredible.
Replying to naylorian. Because possession of a Kraken egg in my world is a felony level offense because they are critically endangered.
I see.
