[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6204739, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “07 PLAY DEAD” SEGMENT 92 “THE RUINS AND DESTRUCTION” RHAAN 25, 997 “Daanvi’s Confusion!” Play curses. He fell into Zinter’s simple trap like a rank amateur. Play takes a deep breath and calms himself. He looks around for hints of where he is (trying to not think of locations like Xen’drik, Argonnessen or even Sarlona.) and sees several things of interest. SMELL- There is the smell of salt water. Coastal area or island. SOUND- Gentle waves and birds. More coastal references. FEEL- Gentle breeze. Colder than Sharn. Northern coast or Sarlona. TASTE- Pollens…. Not fruit. Salt…. SIGHT- Sparse pine tree forest. Eldeen or Karrnath? Ruins… stone….. and a… scroll. The scroll Zinter was holding when he first spotted him. Play picks it up and looks around some more. He also sees several things out of place. Shattered table and some cloth…. A curtain? Moldy… it’s been here for a while but not rotting. He opens the scroll case and slides out the parchment. He looks at the sky. The sun is low and he believes to the west. He reads the note. CONGRADULATIONS YOUNG HERO FOR HIRE- YOU HAVE STEPPED INTO MY TRAP ONCE MORE. I BELIEVE YOU WILL DISCOVER WHERE YOU ARE IN TIME AND WITH SOME EXPLORATION. BE CAREFUL OF THE THING THAT GOES BUMP IN THE NIGHT. I HOPE YOU MEET IT. ZINTER d’CANNITH “Bastard!” Play calls out. “…and I didn’t pack a lunch basket either.” Play exclaims trying to lighten the situation. He walks around to explore, not because Zinter said so, but to try to figure out where he is and what to do about it. He climbs a rocky hill top and discovers he is on an island. In the far distance he can see a few possible mountains, maybe the mainland. The island is not very big. It is less than a mile round has no clear easy port or beach. Very rocky. He climbs back down the hill and spots carvings in the ruins. Large stone blocks with images of depressed or captive people being led by winged and large eyed humanoids. They look familiar but he just can’t place it. All he sees is red eyes. Strange. Something else catches his attention. Something near the shore line where the ruins reach a short fifty foot cliff that leads to the water below. Armor or maybe even a golem? He goes to it and finds the destroyed remains of a warforged warrior. Play looks it over. The leg was severely damaged. Then he sees the docent area in the chest is empty. It looks like something pried a docent out however. Looking at the face plate closer he then remembers the warforged. He is one of Zinter’s fiendish creations he battled on the airship over the Eldeen bay. At least now he has an idea of where he is. He also now understands what Zinter wanted. Play is separated from the world with no means back and for his only companions he has the remains of a warforged that he killed. A reminder of why Zinter hates him and vice versa. And the “companion”. Who or what was Zinter hinting at? [/QUOTE]
