[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7210082, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 02 WORK DETAIL SEGMENT 115 “GATEWAY FOUND” 8/8/17 DRAVAGO 8, 1000 The day after the celebration was treated as a sick day. Nearly everyone had a severe hangover. A few even required treatment. Cadd especially. The artificer did not handle his alcohol well. So the day after Orthos, Feldrix and Tyson were back to searching ahead of the road construction. Around noon they spot a clearing and look to it. There is a ruin of a tower here along with a huge obsidian triangle. Feldrix goes to the tower as the other two check out the glass structure. The glass is perfectly smooth, the three edges are also polished and smooth. “This is not good is it?” asks the Inquisitive of the druid. “No. I fear this may have been built by the followers of Xoriat.” “Xoriat….. nightmarish deformities come from there…..” “Not nightmares….. though that works in many examples. Insanity. Lack of reasoning…. No structure.” “I don’t deal with planar creatures very often.” Adds the Inquisitive. “The creatures once ruled this area. It is said the brutes in Xen’drik, the giants, unleashed them on the world. Others say the dragons. Doesn’t matter…. They destroyed the giants and when they went for the dragons they were banished.” “By the dragons?” “They were a part of it. It is said dragons trained and taught the first druids…. As warriors against the madness. Many warded doorways remain in the area and in the swamps to the south. I suspect that is what has created the Hidden….. Xoriat.” Suddenly they hear Feldrix call out. Two large owlbear skeletons are attacking him at the tower’s entrance. The druid calls up a storm that greatly damages the one undead. The second one has pursued the knight into the tower. The sounds of it scratching at his armor can be heard all the way to the crystal triangle. Tyson runs wide looking to help through a hole in the wall on the back of the tower. As he nears a stone structure he suddenly panics and throws himself into the water closer to the crystal structure. He stares in fear at the obsidian and blue crystal ball structure. The skeletons are very hard to take down but they are defeated. Since Tyson is clearly still unsettled they look about looking for the cause. The small obsidian cube with a blue crystal ball on top had spoken to him. “It is a warded prison for something in Xoriat. Keep away from it. It wants you to free it…. Whether on purpose on accident- it matters not.” Feldrix finds a door leading down within the tower. Tyson suspects it has been used recently. He tries to get them to go in but Orthos will have nothing with it. He needs to be sure the road work doesn’t go near here. Tyson stares at the door as they leave. Does he want to go down there because he is curious or because the voice asked for him to? [/QUOTE]
