Naga Lair, Day 5 after treasure
Gold coins found: too many to count ; Gems found: too many to count; Armor and weapons found: who cares? Number of times have thought about lightning magic in last hour: 100
The sound of thunder still rings through my ears. Am amazed party is not deaf from two lightning bolts going off in this rock-lined room. Even more amazed at the jolt of lust I have to acquire lightning magic. Falon merely read a lightning spell from a scroll. But Ramni called it from all around him. It is godlike to control such power and yet, Ramni is not a cleric. Why can’t our cleric do magic like that?
Anyway, room stinks of ozone and blood. The snake/woman creature lay like a dead worm that didn’t make it underground before the sun dried it up after a storm. Didn’t want to go near the thing, but Korliss and Chani moved it away. Underneath her podium, we discovered her piles of treasure. A new lust took hold of me as I watched the gems glimmer in the torchlight. Purple, white, and blue sparkled at me like a rainbow waiting to be touched. The others gasped when the podium was first opened, but I didn’t gasp until I saw it: tossed to the side with the coins instead of in the midst of the gems lay the red tourmaline from my dreams.
I walked towards the treasure and started to reach out with my hand when Ternell cleared his throat and said, “I think most of this goes to the town of Orlane. It was them she was robbing from and we may have burned down their town.”
Had to shake my head clear as others began to murmur in agreement. Then Korliss piped up and said, “That can’t be all theirs. Orlane is not that big. If all of this belonged to the town, they would be vying for Greerson for the largest city.”
“Hmmm,” said Ternell. “Well, we may take some, but most of it must be given to Orlane. They were made slaves for Pter’s sake!”
In the end, each person took a few things, even Ramni. I got the red tourmaline without a fuss. Now I just have to figure out the meaning of it. We have holed ourselves up in here until we can take on the remaining troglodytes. At least everyone is in a good mood. What’s this?
Falon just came in from an anteroom waving some papers. Looks like Explicticus was only a small part of a much larger cult. He and Korliss found directions to other outposts in the Impassable Forest. Now we will carry on debating over finding and destroying rest of cult. Think we should do it, but think we need to go back to Orlane before. Too tired to argue now. Must rest and maybe dream of rock again.
