[QUOTE="Nonei, post: 5140835, member: 88176"] [SIZE=1]Ok, I'm sorry I have taken so long to update this. But, I am here now, so here we go:[/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3]The Battle with Rose[/SIZE][/B] The party discusses a few options, but are very reluctant to agree to anything that would include them serving an evil dragon. Menolly suggests an archery contest, but backs off when Rose readily agrees. Evol, the paladin, declines Rose's suggestion to see who can make the best lie - she isn't very good at lying. Rose, bored with the hemming and hawing, begins talking about his favorite statue - his first one. It brings many pleasant memories... He indicates the statue with a claw. It is a small boy, maybe the equivalent of 6 years old, with a scream of terror frozen on his face. Rose leans over to the party and suggests he's been getting tired of having all these statues around, and perhaps he'll just start tossing them over the edge of the cliff to watch them explode into powder below. The party is still hesitant - they want to battle him but they don't want to kill him, for fear that won't be enough to break the spell. So Rose offers to have a battle to the... um... unconsciousness. He even agrees to not use his breath weapon. If the party wins, he will undo the spell on the children. The party convinces him to agree that if he wins, they will speak of his embarrassing loss in the previous game to nobody. Rose marks a 40-foot area in the entrance to the cave that the battle will be in. The party has a little trouble at first breaking through his thick hide, and by the end of the fight they are quite bloody - but the dragon is laying unconscious. Rose keeps his word, and turns all of the children back into flesh. The older children immediately gather the younger ones and head back home, and the party continues on. [B][SIZE=3]The Seventh Door[/SIZE][/B] Just outside the mouth of Rose's cave, the path drops off a steep cliff 100 feet down. Anett, the Hadozee, jumps off, spreading her arms so her arm flaps can help her glide to the bottom, and Evol jumps after her, her ring slowing her descent so she floats safely to the ground. Menolly glares down from the top of the cliff at them, and pulls out her rope and grappling hook. Once they are all at the bottom, Menolly notices a somewhat hidden opening in the face of the cliff. They move in to investigate and find a five foot wide tunnel, with doors all along the left side. They decide this is the place that the queen was speaking of, and begin to leave when Menolly hears a faint cry for help from down the tunnel and feels compelled to go in. The others don't hear the cry, but agree to follow her. There are seven doors in total, but they aren't sure which door is #1, as the path continues and winds up, apparently to Rose's lair - did they enter at the end or the beginning? So, they open Door #4 - the one in the middle - and find that it is full of piles of copper coins. They open the doors two either way (#2 and #6) and find piles of gold coins, and piles of red gems. As they are standing outside the door furthest from the entrance, debating on whether to open it or the one closest to the entrance, Menolly hears the cry for help from inside that door.

A little man walks out of the room and looks at them. "Thank you, kind mortals, for rescuing me. May you find what you are looking for." Anett mutters under her breath "I have heard that is a curse." He begins to walk down the hallway, and Evol and Menolly feel their compulsions fade. A quick glance in the room reveals it full of piles of platinum, but no other creatures. "Hey, wait!" "Come back here!" The little man stops and turns around at their calls. He slowly walks backward toward the entrance as they talk, but Menolly uses her ring to create a forcewall behind him. He stands with his hand touching the forcewall as they grill him, and answers them with nervousness and apparent honesty. And glowing as evil to the Paladin. Yes, he was put there as punishment. He had stolen the staff from the witch originally. Yes, he had compelled them to open the door. As they were talking he found the opportunity to ask, "So, what [I]is [/I]it you are looking for?" Evol snaps at him, "We are just looking for a way home!" (more to come) [/QUOTE]
