[QUOTE="Stone Angel, post: 672083, member: 5630"] This land was unlike any the PC's had ever seen. The very landscape was twisted to this Hag's evil. The party rushed through the mountain side as the suns light was pulled away into the dark. "Is it just me or does every thing seem gray and dull" asked McDougal "No...It is the Hags magic, she has perverted the natural order, and turned this land into an abominat......." Mason stopped mid sentence. The rest of the party quickly found what had halted the clerics speech. A tree. A great twisted tree and from it's limbs were hung, severed heads, hands, different organs such as lungs spinal cords, it even had a torso nailed to its trunk. Some of the party got a little nauseous. They decided to give the tree a wide birth and pass around.[I]They have no idea how lucky they were.[/I] Soon the trees began to thin as they reached higher elevations. The suns light winked out. Redfernes trail was much harder to follow in the dark. The party began to have second thoughts. They followed the path of blood to the of a particular peak. Above them torch pikes lit a path with eerie green fire. They could see to large Monoliths at the top a small plateau. They began up the path Fulrik out front trying to be as stealthily as possible, yet with every step there was a crunch, or snap. "Mage, for the sake of Pelor give us some light here! Are you good for nothing" snapped Fulrik. This place was obviously getting to the soldier he was usually more stoic than that. He quickly wished he had remained in the dark. With a word of power the ring on the mages hand began to glow with a soft light and they found what had made the noise. Bones the path was paved with human bones. The party took a deep breath and pressed forward. The darkness bellowed "Turn back lest you pave the way for more of the beautiful ones meals" Lucas scanned the area with his elven sight. "The monoliths" his search had revealed that what they had thought to be stone protrusions were actually large humaniods, with an eye missing. At the plateau the party fell upon the flayed Ogres with abandon, glad to lose themselves in the fervor of combat for a few moments. As the Ogres fell McDougal shuddered "Look at the torches" he pointed at the torch pikes whose tops were human heads. The very tops of the skulls had been cut off to make room for whatever the source of the green fire was. McDougal then pointed to a lone entrance into the side of the mountain. The party took a few moments to rest, and cast some spells that would aide them in the trials to come. They had little time to prepare with an infants life on the line. The party entered the cave..... [I]I shall return....[/I] [/QUOTE]
