After the brothers finish their tale, Slisik begins reciting his own.
"We entered the Vesper Mountains searching for treasures, and quickly found it. The ogres were first to attack us, big ugly brutes they were. We squared off with them several times, but suffice it to say, they retreated after suffering severe electrical burns. One of them was kind enough to be wielding a pretty greatsword. Gods, its death grip made it hard to pry from its burned hands."
"Anyway, as we advanced deeper into the mountain, we began to be harassed by metallic constructs, crafted from bronze. Their solid bodies easily deflected mine and Errols' swords, but they posed no real challenge against Veris' magics. The constructs had no possessions I was interested in, but they were guarding some rather expensive armor that I believe Veris claimed."
"Next, and my personal favorite, were the dwarves. When we first encountered a small party of them, they started complaining about how we destroyed their property or somesuch. Apparently, they owned the constructs and wanted to charge us with a crime. Well, we had something to say about that!" Slisik holds up his viper snake. "Jabsis here sent one of them into a catatonic state with his poison, finally pulling his weight!" He speaks directly toward his pet now. "Sometimes I don't know why I let you tag along; you weren't much use in the mountains aside from that biting that dwarf and a few of their children later on."
"After Errol glided through the dwarven spears and sliced off a few limbs, we continued on our way. Right into the dwarven settlement as it turned out. Veris here was kind enough to scout out the place for us. You wouldn't know it from looking at her, but she is quite good at blending in with others." Slisik is careful not to elaborate here, not wanting to reveal too much of his comrades' powers. "Their defenses were pitiful. When Veris let us know that their warriors had gathered, we summoned forth swarm after swarm of spiders, and a host of small earth elementals. The creatures took the blows while the rest of us rained lightning, magic, and arrows upon the dwarves."
"We rounded a few survivors, mostly women and children. They spoke of a great treasure nearby in a clearing, ready for the taking. It sounded too easy of course, but we wanted more riches. I wish we had put them all to the sword, lying bastards. The clearing was guarded by a dragon! But I'm tired of talking now. Someone else can tell that part of the story."
[sblock=Creamsteak]I hope this post fits into the story, I don't want to step on your toes here. The initial post spoke of us fighting ogres, dwarves, and constructs, so I thought I'd elaborate a little. If that's not alright, I can go ahead and edit out this post.[/sblock]
