[QUOTE="Morrow, post: 4691231, member: 301"] [b]Here There Be Monsters 4 (Margaret)[/b] Dear Diary, After a much-needed rest, we continued our quest to rescure Urol. The door to the very next chamber we entered after our rest was trapped, and so we began the day injured. We knew there would be a battle, but we were not discouraged. The chamber contained a double monkey statue, and it was obvious, even to me, that the monkey paws we had found were the key to gain entry to the next. We proceeded with caution, Dexter and I engaging the monkey paws as we were the least injured among the party. Thankfully, Aliosha was cautious too, and discovered that the statues in the following chamber were rigged to sound an alarm, and Garnham was able to disable them. I have to pause here to point out that I have nothing against monkeys. Generally, they are delightful and entertaining with their chittering, dancing and poo-flinging. I also have nothing against demons, as long as they’re not bothering me and my friends by constantly trying to murder and abduct us. Murderous, demonic monkeys, on the other hand, are a different story. They have sharp teeth, and they can bite. Never underestimate the power of an angry monkey, and never, ever underestimate the power of an angry, demonic monkey that wants to turn you into an undead servant, because demons can be mean, and slavery is wrong. Anyway, the final chamber was ablaze with fire, coming from a huge pit in the center of the room. There were five huge monkey statues, and Urol hung above the flames like a boar at a flesh-eater’s back-yard summer festival. Aliosha quickly put the fire out with nature’s magic. Then, the master of Fogmeyer came out of nowhere and began to attack us. He said his name was Ulengru, but it was no matter. His name did not change his evil ways. I flew up and tended to Urol while the others took care of Ulengru. Upon his fall, Aliosha began to examine the area near the big, two-headed monkey statue at the end of the chamber, but the statue came to life and killed her. Actually, it didn’t really come to life. I had cast death watch earlier, so I could tell that it was neither alive nor dead, but like living stone. Aliosha knew something of the beast, but I have seen nothing like it. It’s certainly not on my list. Dexter grabbed Aliosha’s body and carried it to relative safety and then returned, seemingly to fight the monster. I summoned a celestial lion, and Garnham a giant beetle to fend off the monster while we escaped, and then Dexter told me to run away, so I did. The others were not far behind, and we escaped to safety where we were able to rest and plan our next attack. Alisoha had a scroll of Reincarnate in her pack, so Urol was able to bring her back, but as a dwarf. Aliosha is having trouble adjusting to her new form, but she’s handling it much better than Dexter did. I don’t know why this is so difficult for them. I would be happy with any form Aster chose for me. Anyway, we went back in with extra protections and killed the stone monster quickly. After it was dead, the fog lifted, and we were able to leave the area. I still don’t know what happened to Golnura. I hope that he was freed when we defeated his master. We proceeded South and eventually came to some huge Ulmec gates. They let us through, and we went down to Mora where Ulmec guides escorted us to Farshore by canoe. Farshore was under siege when we arrived. Pirates without style or grace were attacking the locals and burning their buildings. Again, Aliosha put out the flames, and we killed the pirates. I hated killing pirates, but they were really bad at it, so I got over it. Their leader was a very poor fighter. I think his name was Stinky Pete. After we saved Farshore, Livinia and the Jade Ravens emerged. It was really very sweet to see Granham and Livinia reunited. It awakened the desire inside me to mate. I think that one day, I would like to find one mate to live with, but for now, I just need to mate. Hopefully, there will be time, but there is much work to be done. We gathered in the chapel (which is non-denominational – I’ll have to change that) with the town council. They brought in a prisoner named Lefty who told us that the pirates were working for the Crimson Fleet, and we only have two months to prepare for their arrival. As I said, there is much to be done… [/QUOTE]
