A rich finding

After he is dismissed, what is likely the first kobold to ever set foot in these sacred grounds spends the first hour or so playing in the sand. He has the time of his life, right up there when his masters wanted to teach him what a "creampie" was

Then he decides to swim. Kobolds aren't very hydrodynamic, but as a cold-blooded race, he can hold his breath for very long and has a lot of fun exploring the ocean floor. In a small crevice in one of the rocks, too small for one of the bigger races to pay much attention to, he finds a shiny rock and decides to bring it with him as a souvenir

Unknown to Zan, he just found a diamond, and a big one. Not only that, but after marinating on these blessed shores for decades (if not longer), it brims with magic. A treasure like no other

But while its value escapes its founder, the same is not true of the other beachgoers, and Zan is soon approached by people with less than noble intentions, about to make an offer he can't refuse

"Hey there handsome"
