[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5724738, member: 60965"] [B]24th of Sorrow [/B][I]Forbidden Tomb, Mt. Laeron, Balic[/I] Haven't written in a while as it was a busy couple days. We're resting before pressing on further into the tombs - these things are literally crawling with kruthik of all types and we're a bit battered and cautious about heading on. A short summary of the last couple days. On a tip from Eutropia - of all people - we followed Barrenyche's trail to the harbor. We lost the warship [I]Cataclysm[/I] thanks to the Arsenal's incompetence. If I was Dictator, two hundred sailors and Legionnaires would still be alive right now and Barrenyche dead. Whatever fey terror she is. Yesterday we talked with Dephnical as he'd had time to do some research on the copper enigma we gave to Tomblador. He believes its a fragment of an ancient artifact of incredible power and has reason to believe that there might be more of them in this tomb. With the help of a half-giant - I think the other half is mad - that somehow knew the way to the tomb we were looking for, we managed to find it amidst the dusty, rocky crags of Mt. Laeron. Disturbingly, we found other tracks on the mountainside, mere days old. No wonder that guard was so touchy about bribery... though to his dubious credit they might have let someone sneak by through sheer incompetence. Whoever they were seemed to have found this tomb before us as we found a dismembered arm that was fairly fresh and a... frozen... body serving as feed for swarms of kruthik. The half-giant, whom we have taken to calling Shield since he wears heavy armor spiked and a pair of massive spine-covered shields, suggested we thaw it out and eat it. I'm still not sure if he was serious or not as he then became "invisible", meaning he said some gibberish in Giant and then pretended like we couldn't see him. Several of the tombs had a wall with the engraved visage of Andropinis, his open mouth just big enough for a man to reach his arm inside. The half-giant, broke one of his vambraces when he stuck his arm into the mouth - not once, but twice -, but he did extract a copper fragment from one of them after we were able to pry his arm free. Elsewhere we found a few ancient half-blunted copper picks that we used to painstakingly clear a few cave-ins and in this room found another pair of frozen bodies that looked like they'd been chewed on by something large before the kruthik swarms got to them. I'm not looking forward to meeting whatever it was, but it looks like the others are ready, so we're about to go find out. It might just be me, but I think I've been hearing a faint sound from the dark passageway ahead that we're about to enter. It sounded disturbingly like... crunching bones... [/QUOTE]
