What is this place why do I suddenly feel compelled to go visit. It turns out the rest of the group have also decided we should visit. With this in mind we head west to the river and start to follow it south. As night draws nearer we come upon clearing. Deciding this would be a suitable location to rest for the night we set up camp. Cyranek and I decide to take first watch. All was looking good when I suddenly felt drowsy and then all of a sudden I was awake. I was with the rest of the group all fully awake and armoured in a clearing facing a temple. The temple looked like it was made up of bone towers and domes. Behind us was nothing but darkness, and as the dwarf seemed to take a step back he stopped suddenly and shouted out “Who said that”. A figure cloaked in a white robe advanced from the temple and started to warn us about a demon called Varath who was worshipped like a god. It turned out he had the power to effect dreams and had called us here, but only because of where we had camped. The robed figure warned us that we would be tempted by Varath and that to accept his gift or help would make us susceptible to his influence.</span></span></span></p><p></p><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="color: white"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'">The dwarf not been one to shy from adventure then headed into the temple and disappeared, not wanting any harm to come to the dwarf I followed. As I entered the temple I couldn’t see the dwarf but I did hear a scream. I headed towards the scream drawing my sword and as I rounded a corner saw a young lady been attacked by three goblins. I screamed a challenge at the goblins and they ran off. With this the young lady approached me. She offered me a bag of gold and when I refused this a kiss. Once again I refused the gift been wary due to the nature if the place and the warning we had received. At this point she turned into a giant spider and scurried off.

Grungi had decided to have a little fun and so had flirted with the young lass. She had turned down his attempts but Cyranek decide top have some fun to. His fun took the shape of casting a spell on Saskia so that if she was more than five feet away from the dwarf she would feel compelled to move back.
