[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5933423, member: 52403"] [b]New beginning, new monsters[/b] Riding out of the city they look back and see the majestic towers and walls fade from view as they pass over a hill on the rolling plains of Ardel. The city looks more impressive from a distance as the closer you get the more you can see the disrepair and neglect the city is experiencing. Regardless it was a good place to stop over and restore flagging energies. The party look onwards and ride over the next hill as the trail leads ever onwards. Traveling through the day the surrounding countryside becomes more and more neglected; they pass many farms where the fields have been left to fallow and houses which have been abandoned. The further they go from the city the more likely the houses are empty. Traveling down the well worn but less traveled then it has been road they notice suspicious looking mounds of earth beside the road. Grembor in the lead holds up his hand signaling a stop just before the two mounds erupt showering him with earth and sods. An insectile creature emerges its mandibles clicking as it spits a stream of acid his way; the acid strikes a glancing blow causing minor burns. Across the pathway another creature rises from it’s hole and shoots a stream of acid at Sayuri which misses. Zordlan pulls out his bow and fires of an arrow at the closest creature while Pringle tries casting a spell from horseback which fails due to the horse moving in terror beneath him. Sayuri fails to keep control of her mount which turns and tries running away from the hideous creatures. Grembor pulls out his bow and looses a torrent of arrows at the closest creature which gurgles and chitters in annoyance; advancing the creature which Pringle screams out is called an Ankeg tries biting Grembor who manages to evade its grasp. Zordlan calmly fires off another couple of arrows which vibrate slightly as they thunk into the Ankeg’s chitin armor as Sayuri gains control of her mount and fires off a series of force missiles towards one who collapses back into its hole. Grembor knee’s his horse back a step and the calm obedient horse complies as he unloads another trio of arrows into the Ankeg; Pringle follows with a ray of fire that causes it to immolate as it expires with a wheezing chittering sound. Two more burst from the ground only scant feet away from the party but as the group is prepared they are soon dealt with and the party after poking at the bodies continues upon their way. Maybe these burrowing creatures are the cause of all this abandoned farmland … As they continue onwards through the day the clouds overhead become progressively darker and more ominous; at roughly midday after passing many more abandoned farmsteads the happen upon an abandoned manorhouse. They consider entering but after they do a reconnoiter they discover an extensive magical presence and signs of powerful hauntings and decide to continue onwards towards their main goal. (Side mission averted.) The day get darker earlier then usual due to the extensive oppressive dark forbidding clouds as the heavens open and torrents of rain fall. The party not being prepared for this finds themselves out in the open in an impressive thunderstorm as lightning crashes around them. Having no tree’s to hide beneath (not a good idea) they erect to poor tent they have and try to sleep pegging the disgusted horses out in the open to face the full brunt of the storm. Watches are set and no-one really gets any good sleep as they are all wet, cold and miserable. However Sayuri gets the shock of her life as while patrolling on her watch near the horses a massive bolt of lightning strikes the ground nearby sending sods of earth in all directions and bowling Sayuri onto her back. The horse’s rear in terror and Grembor’s horse manages to break free of its tether and runs off into the night. [/QUOTE]
