[QUOTE="Shieldhaven, post: 2814158, member: 23427"] Reposting entries: In the end, we failed to rescue anyone at all. We went back to Yowen. He had found a secret door in the wall behind him and, upon opening it, been killed. We followed him and nearly met the same fate. Gerron was paralyzed and slain before any of us could aid him. We then had to drag his corpse – and this was exactly as nightmarish as it sounds – up to the skyship so that we could leave. This meant hauling him back up that chimney from the lower labyrinth to the upper chambers. Of course, losing Yowen wasn’t all that bad, as he had previously been killed and replaced by a doppelganger – no mere changeling he! Also, the room in which Gerron was killed had a creation schema engraved in the wall. It frustrates me deeply that I did not have the power to identify that schema. Maeve and I were both almost completely drained, and given our capacity this is saying something. But we had not rested since before we faced Munafik, I do not believe.
