[QUOTE="Voda Vosa, post: 5135200, member: 51271"] The adventurers finish off the last remaining vermin, the only one standing at the defense of their crouches of eggs. Their problems with water had come to an end… Or so they thought. Even as Torqua dusted herself out, Myoko regain her cold composture, Vardaal cleaned the sand from his falchion, and Frost sheathed his swords, the cave began to tremble. A tunnel opened, and five large Ankheg emerged from the huge entrance. A deep bass tremble followed the creatures, as if their galleries had weakened the structure of the cave. Urged by this, the group ran through the narrow passage of earth towards the entrance of the cave. Behind them, the ceiling began to fall apart. Large chunks of rock and sand fall over the piles of eggs and the adult ankhegs, smashing them, cracking their shells; the creatures shrieked as they were buried alive. Adrenaline fueled everyone, even Kavac who was almost unconscious ran for his life, Torqua as well, never thought she could move so fast! The chunks of rocks fall on the water deposits, columns of sand poured from the holes the rocks made… The scene was chaotic, and the odds, grim. But the mercenaries moved with haste, and reached the tunnel Torqua, Vardaal and Kavac had seen when they were in the lower chamber. The tunnel seemed unaffected, and although it smelled like ankheg wastes, they didn’t worry for that. After climbing up for about ten minutes, hearing the cave system crumble and fearing for their lives, the group reaches the surface! Ah, fresh scorching air, at last. The entrance of this tunnel was on the margin of the dry oasis. As the group took a moment to regain their breath, another quake shakes the soil beneath their feet. As if was sorcery, the water began to rise from the puddle of mud in the bottom of the oasis. It flowed from the ankheg tunnels, and soon it filled the basin. Floating in the turbid water, several pieces of the vermin could be seen before they sank to the bottom. Apparently all the water was pressed up by the collapsing of the cave, and found an easy way up in the tunnels dig by the ankhegs. Having finished their task with a big plus, the party took a moment to patch them up, drink some muddy water, and prepare to return to the city. The journey was rather easy, the day was pretty clouded and the night was humid and thus not so chilling. After two days of walking, the mercenaries were back at Losadar’s city. The man was standing at the walls, dressed in his most sumptuous tunic, rising a bottle of muddy water as he sees you. Behind him, the people was screaming and cheering up, all of them obviously happy. “My friends! What an awesome accomplishment. Your exploits are to be known all around the Blazing Desert! You will tell me all the details once we are in the palace.” With that, he turned to the populace, and waved his hand, smiling. The crow exploded in applauses and cheers. As you walked your way to the palace, the people thanked you and tried to get to you, but the city watch kept them at some distance. Inside the palace you tell Lodasar all about your adventure in the oasis, inside the oasis, under the oasis, and about the ankheg and all the little details he wants to know. He seems worried about the menace of the desert ankhegs; he fears that the vermin would try to make nest under the oasis again. Losadar orders his servants to serve all kind of food and drink, and after dinner is done, he leads you to his treasury. From there he takes a bag of gold and leaves it at his feet. He opens a door, to a rather large and ornate room, full of armors and robes, and begins passing from one set to another, picking one and giving it to each of you. He gives Frost shiny mithral chain armor, Myoko a white shiny plate, Torqua a fine Arabic robe that shimmers mysteriously, and to Vardaal, he gives a hide armor, made of some strange beast he had never saw, the leather is orange and the hide is yellowish with black spots.
