Our team exited the town and headed for the mausoleum. Darkness was spreading and seemed like it was devouring light. Moonless and cold night came upon us while we were passing through the iron gates of the cemetery. A bunch of "friendly" undead welcomed us and we responded by returning the favor and sending them to a friendly place for good.
An eerie feeling filled our hearts as we entered the tomb. Raven had a unique idea, to open the Lord's stony grave, and alas we did. To our great surprise the tomb was empty, literally empty. A big hole leading downwards had taken the place of the old man's remains. Curious and bold as always Shine leaped in and the rest of us followed.
The room in front of us seemed really dangerous at first glance. Two narrow corridors were running down the sides of it and ending abruptly at a statue each and between them what seemed to be a wide pool of an acidulous substance which was spreading up to the closed door across. These not being enough, in front of our feet and from one side to the other there was a big gap two meters wide and three meters deep. Kalistar and Shine picked a corridor each and made the leap. On touchdown flame energy waves burned their eyebrows and pushed them in the gap. Bah...a stupid trap. Took us some time of trial and error to understand that the acid was not really what it seemed to be. It was an illusion...Thank Gods for our fast thinking.
Next followed a completely dark room. A quite room indeed. Theren lit the way and upon doing that what we saw spawning in front of us was unbelievable. Our mirror images. Ourselves fighting against us. I mean wtf? We are fighting us? Raven's quick and perceptive mind saved the day, or should i say the night. All he did was throw his dagger on the mirror's surface. It crumbled to pieces and our mirror images vanished on the spot. The worst part was that the way the fight was going it seemed we would have been defeated. Go figure ,us....defeated by Us !!!
We took a good rest there because the road ahead was demanding. A good physic was needed and our athletic skills were put to the test on this descending climbing. Reaching the bottom loud noise from falling water came our way. The narrow passage gave way to a humongous cave. The huge space was dimly lit by the sun rays which entered by the big hole on the top of the cave. It was obviously a big cave in. From the same hole water was falling rapidly and in large quantities meeting the pool at the bottom of the cave with a mighty splashy sound. On the sides of the big cavern plants of all kind where thriving. Over the big dark pool of water was crossing a naturally made stony bridge. On the other side of the bridge seemed to be the only way out. We started to make our way through the stony passageway when suddenly....
A cry from above "aaooieaoiuoeaaaoioaiaoi......"and a big splaaashhhhhh down in the pool's dark water. Something or someone had fallen from who knows where into the black lake. We were bewildered. Our eyes were staring in the blackness of the pool waiting for something ...a hint ...a solution to the enigma... answers to the questions. Who? What? How? A shadowy figure emerged to the surface and started swimming towards the land. Our eyes where following the figure every step of the way. Reaching ashore a woman's figure stood up and with eyes wide and surprised looked at us. At this time exactly and before she even spell a vowel the water stirred behind her. Something lived down there and the noise from the fall had awakened it...
A huge bronze Dragon rose up behind her ,water dripping down his scaly flesh. His eyes scanned the cave for the cause of this disturbance and eventually spotted her and our team. Most of us were standing on the bridge and he took the opportunity to unleash his lightning breath upon us. What followed was a heroic battle. A battle of courage, valor and persistence. We prevailed and the dragon's teeth and scales were put in our backpacks. She fought gracefully at our side against the ancient beast. Her name Velonia Serenity ,also known as Doomgirl. Confused and disoriented ,not knowing how she came to fall, she had more questions than answers for us. Nevertheless we all decided that if she wanted could follow us for as long as she wanted to.
We carried on high spirited from the great victory and confronted Mallora and her undead lackeys. She had just sacrificed a fellow human in the name of her unholy gods. Velonia's calm face wrinkled from disgust and she leaped with fury against her. Nobody was spared. We avenged the poor soul's death and freed Lord Padreg's daughter from her captivity. Velonia noticed that the girl was possessed by some kind of
demonic prsence and that she was falling to dark depths that she would never recover from.
Time was of essence and we rushed back to the temple of Winterhaven. Sister Linora treated the poor girl and sent for her father. After a short debriefing we concluded that a rare medicine had to be found. The location was known to siter Linora but the way of acquisition was not. Someone had to go find it. Who could do it better than us. We accepted the challenging task and headed immediately for Keep on Shadowfel.
