2025 January Post 06 - A Kobold, Magic, and You

And now for something completely different.

I got into the mood recently to finish an absolutely ancient audio project. In this audio play you encounter Zree, the slightly crazy kobold I drew earlier, and she feeds on magic, which turns her into a dragon.) There were other plans, other ideas for narratives and scenarios but in the end this is what I settled on because I wanted to do something easy and not half an hour long.

I made a video file that incorporated the drawing of her together with the audio but it became a 140 megabyte file and nobody needs that.

In the end I'm happy with what I made, but damn it's a chore finding good sounds to work with. - Couldn't find good kobold sounds so I had to improvise with dinosaurs and goblins and whatnot.

Edit:
I've added a description:

00:05
Listener exits a party, goes outside.
00:16
Listener walks through the garden, passes a decorative magic orb on a pedestal.
00:30
While walking through the grass, the Listener hears a tiny kobold and sits down in the grass. The kobold runs over.
00:38
The kobold asks for something.
00:40
Kobold gets zapped when she absorbs magic from some magic item the viewer has on them. Kobold starts changing, and gets a little bigger. When she realizes what is happening, she enjoys it.
01:00
Kobold gives listener a kiss, and begs for more.
01:07
Kobold absorbs energy from a second magic item and changes into a small dragon.
01:40
Small dragon kisses listener.
01:45
Dragon absorbs more magic from items in the listener’s inventory, and grows bigger
02:30
More dragon kissing.
02:43
Listener gets up and starts walking back to the party. The dragon follows behind them.
03:04
While passing the magic orb on a pedestal, the listener accidentally bumps into the pedestal, causing the orb to fall and shatter.
03:06
The shattered magic orb releases its energy, which the dragon absorbs. She starts growing again.
04:13
Another burst of energy from the orb fragments. The dragon absorbs it and grows larger.
05:23
As the dragon finishes growing, she roars.
05:30
A random wizard walks into the scene, panics when he sees the dragon, fireballs her, and runs away.
05:36
The dragon absorbs the energy from the fireball and starts growing again.
05:46
The growing dragon starts walking through buildings, with the intent of absorbing the energy from any magic items that might be inside.
06:10
The dragon starts leveling a city, half by stepping on buildings, half by simply growing over it, absorbing any magic she comes across.
06:44
All the listener can see and hear is an immense wall of dragon hide swelling, stretching, and drawing closer as it crushes everything in its path.
