[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 723386, member: 1210"] [b]The Price For Orbius[/b] Blindfolded, Lester and Angelfire are led along a long path. For a time they can hear their footsteps echoing all around- it seems that they pass through a long cavern- and then they can smell fresh air and hear birdsong again. Soon after, Brother Nelly removes the blindfolds. Our heroes look around. They're at the edge of a massive ruin that spreads as far as the eye can see. Buildings are burnt or simply abandoned, almost intact or cast down entirely. There is a huge lakeshore that stretches out along the left hand side. "Excellent," breathes the L. This is definitely the place he saw in his vision. He thanks Nelly and tells the Boccobite that they can get back to Var on their own. "Good luck to you," says Nelly. He turns and walks off, apparently to whatever secret path he led them here by. Lester and Angelfire turn their attention to the task of finding the church. Lester takes to the air on his bat-like wings, and soon enough he spots the church from his vision, but it's in much worse shape than he'd thought. The two approach it quickly. The roof has collapsed over most of the temple and little of the place remains in any kind of easily-searched shape. Lester looks on with despair. If he'd only taken Horbin here, he could talk him into casting [i]find the path[/i] or something... Frustrated, the elementalist kneels down before the altar. "Galador," he prays, "I helped watch over your son, Dexter, and helped deliver him from Bleak. I've never prayed to you before- never asked you for anything- but I need my cohort back at his full power if we're to succeed at overthrowing Bile Mountain- which I'm sure you want to see happen as well! Please, guide me here!" Lester and Angelfire begin searching, and almost immediately the L finds himself drawn to a crack in the altar. There's a secret compartment in it- and within that, a scroll. As the L picks up the delicate, rolled-up parchment, he feels a sense of heavy obligation fall onto him. "Oh no," he moans, "not a [i]geas![/i]" [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] Too bad Lester doesn't even know what his geas is, huh? Orbius returns from the dead- and the party returns to Bile Mountain! Can Alcar be far behind? [/QUOTE]
