[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5500686, member: 11751"] [SIZE="6"]Chapter 2: The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar[/SIZE] The last of your horses trot off towards Gate Pass, saddlebags filled with mundane gear too heavy or cumbersome to come along on your journey into the inferno. The sounds of their heavy hooves soon fade to nothing and you're left alone with your thoughts and the constant crackling of flames. You walk across the old bridge, each step bringing you closer and closer to the edge of Innenotdar forest. The clouds above you are heavy with signs of snowfall, but that will likely not be any of your concern given the intense heat that even now threatens to scald you. Following Torrent's lead, you drink the first of your [I]stand the heat[/I] potions and inch closer to the fire. The heat fades noticeably and Torrent speaks a prayer to Istishia as she creeps up to the edge. Without protection her clothing would have burst into flame and her skin would sizzle like bacon in a pan. However, the potions appear to work and like a child jumping into a cold pool, she plunges into the flames.
