Got 5 minutes before we run into this hole, may as well update this journel for now, I doubt I'll have time to do so while inside.
After meeting Borkul and agreeing on some supplies for what turned out to be a remarkably short journey, we went to a shadow puppet show to waste time until the evening. There both Valyri and I saw Sabien, surprising to say the least because he's been dead for 4 years now, deciding to follow him, mostly out of some form of purely morbid curiousity, he was attacked by Nimrodel.
Chasing the both of them, we watched Sabien escape after animating a Gargoyle to block Nimrodel's path, and our attempts to interfere were stopped by the appearance of Esmerelda Wune, and Darnis, who has now defected from our group to join the Rebels.
As Sabien managed to escape I felt no importance in stopping Nimrodel, Esmerelda or Darnis and ignored their escape, but not before they dropped some hints of great things to come.
After that I returned to the temple of Phobos and slept to prepare for the journey I thought we were going to face today.
After waking the group were led to a beast of burden (the name escapes me) and brought to the trading post at which point Valyri decided to cajole me to buy enough raw Mithral to make a Chain Shirt for her.
After which we were approached by a messenger who gave us the notice that my Master was waiting for us at "The Stone Table" a nearby, ruined temple.
At his own choice my master was in disguise as a Human, and preformed a trade with Flynn, the Prince, I didn't see what the prince traded away, only that it was a weapon of some sort, and he recieved the Brass Dragon orb temporarily in return, the prince calling it "the Keystone".
After this trade concluded, and some milling about, the prince proceeded to lead us further into the mountains until we came across a cave that only the prince, 'Lady' and I could see. Carrying the orb to a sealed door in the back Flynn set it into a depression in the door, which then proceeded to retract into the mountain. The dead air of the ancient library rushing out against us, before Usagi ran inside shouting about seeing something shiny.
Going to follow him inside in a second, wonder if he has anything valauble that he wanted to be buried with.
"It seems you have little faith in the little cat-man, Kobold..."
ReplyDeleteI have little faith in anyone who sees something shiny and immediately starts trying to pick it up, without checking for traps.
