In the cave before Issac could scrambled the controller to the magical portal device, a "Horrid" creature came through and crashed down the stairs. It was a unicorn, as I saw it. But the other described something completely different. I'll make note of that. anyway, as we tried to help it, more creatures arrived. No-something-bow. the dwarfs and the group attacked this creatures than a new and stronger creatures showed up, two them in fact. I yelled for Issac to work quicker but he was having some difficulties. The group attacked but it seemed this battle was not going to be like the others. some stroke of good luck, Issac was able to turn the portal to another plane. the creatures seeing their way home being closed rushed through. Ending the danger for now. but what to do with the Unicorn, It's flesh gone and replaced, along with dragon like wings. Issac used the last wish on his sword to restore the Unicorn back to it's normal form. in which the sword was granted an other four wishes. Being done with the Device for now and the wishes of not only the dwarfs but of the unicorn to get out of the cave, We exited the cave.
We left the town of Cortanna's past and move on. the Dwarfs left us and heading for the port that would take them home. With some advice on how to get to the kingdom of Dwarfs, the group continued on a stupid quest to Lupic's dukedom. Why would anyone, especially a king, believe a group of peasants about the prince's favorite Duke? How would we even get in to see the king let alone speak with him. plus I know that there is a conclave of baddies in that town that are itching to get their hand on me. but what else is there for it, so we travel on.
Darkness is all I see most of the time, but as days pass something changed. One morning I awake and looked around. It was a plains with long green grass, scattered trees and the sky littered with puffy clouds, soaring over head. It was amazing, and then when Araja was helping me change the bandages, she found that something had grown where my eyeballs once where. opening my eyelids two crystals of clear make were there. the Mark still there, was faintly seen in the crystals. Deciding it was for the best Ajara help me cover my eyes once more. I did not tell anyone that i could see, Ajara once again asked if I could sense any marked beings, I said yes and she didn't believe me.
Old habit of mine I guess, but I think it will work to my benefit, for if I was possessed, like she might believe me, she'll be able to tell if I answer no. Setting a base line as were.
Several days later, we came upon a group of Man Servants, to a group of five adventure warriors or something. they had gotten a key to this Dwarven mansion, and gone inside. being low on supplies since the group did not think to buy food or at least hunt along our way, and my stores of food were running out. The Man Servants offered us a place at their so called table as they await their "lord" or "masters." We waited three days with them until they fear so much that their masters were not coming and begged us to go in after them. the group agreed.
The place was a Dwarven place of some age ago. we looked around and made our way through finding the path the group must have went. in one of the larger rooms, Courtanna, Briar were attacked by dire rats, and then attacked by Dire Bats (like the one's in the cave before). Issac refused to come at first since he was admit that the adventures went down another path, but came when we needed him. When the battle was over, there was two ways the group could go, stairs or a hallway. Most of the group went down the hallway, and found one of the adventure's body. the Female Barbarian slammed up against the wall. or at least that was what I was told, by Jessica when she contacted me. the called me to unlocked the door at the other end of this corridor. I passed by the trap without trouble since Issac had done it and then switch places with me. I unlocked the door and beyound was a mound of money/Items/ore and so on. in the corner was three weapons. Issac checked out the weapons as Courtanna check out the mound. I waited by the door.
As they did these things, a red dragon of a small size, poked it head out of a furish that was in the middle of the room and spoke in dragon. Issac seemed to understand and prepare for a fight. we all tensed up, I wanted to bolt. Issac step up to the dragon and touched it. a darkness came over the dragon and it fell. several of us come forward and watched the dragon fall. thousands of feet before hitting the lava below. Issac never cease to amaze me. picking up a few jewelry pieces from the pile. we continued on down the stairs.
We found ourselves in a large dinning room, i saw three hallways. Issac told the group that there were one hallway, and two magical walls. I told him that there are just three hallways. pointing to the one hallway he could see, and then at the two magical walls. he didn't quite believe me, but I realized that i was able to see through the magical barriers. Issac seemed to notice that my "sight" was a lot better. he asked me about it and I showed him my crystal eyes. He seemed a little off put but interested at the same time. He said it was a good idea to keep my eyes covered.
In one of the magical hallways there was a kitchen area where Issac saw/sense something in one of the cupboards. Inside was six rings of Substance, and five water skins of dwarfen drink. I took one of the rings and found that a taste of red meat and something else seem to linger in my mouth. I wanted one of the skins but Issac thought better, since I'm "underage." Whatever I'll just steal it later. Nothing else to find here, we continued on. checking the other hallways that just was just a hallway that lead back into the main hallway. there was a small chapel that looked like someone gotten into the small hidden space and took what ever was there. a little ways down the hall was a stuck door that Ajara and her unicorn tried to open but it was stuck tight.
At the end of the hallway was a good size library littered with dead monster bodies. A lot of them. In one corner where part of the stone shelving gave way, Under the rubble there was a hand sticking out. I had a flash back to when we first found Billy. A slight shiver went up my spine. Issac claimed that there was something magical under the rubble and had billy move rocks. In to time, billy moved enough rubbel that we could pull out the dead Cleric and the last female in the Adventure's group. that's two of them....only the males left. Issac looked over the magical items that were on the Cleric. He then pulled out a tarp and wrapped the cleric in it, then had Billy carried it. the group looked towards the door that lead further down into this ancient dwarven home, and wonder about the last members of the Adventure's group, and what condition we would find them in.
to be continued.
