[QUOTE="Jeremy, post: 296265, member: 4036"] [i]Short update to keep things rolling. Maybe more later..[/i] In the morning Durchek stood alongside Zerin's corpse on the small cultivated green looking out into the rising mists on the lake. The mists rose and swallowed the two whole. [i][Note: I'd like to tell you what happened here, but the players read this and this is personal to one of them, the Circle of Oaks has a personal challenge for all who seek them. So I'll leave it to him to reveal if he wants.][/i] Zerin found himself standing, alive, on a small rocky shoal surrounded by ocean as far as he could see in every direction. At least, it seemed like ocean by the way it crashed upon the jagged black rocks he stood upon. But the water was foul, black, and turgid. It was corrupted, thick, and putrid. He stood surrounded by thirteen stone statues of men and merfolk that besides being barnacle encrusted and smoothed by the sea, were also now rotting and cracked. Chunks of stone fell off them as voices began to issue united from them. "You know what you have to do Dragon Slave. Go now, we can hold open the bridge between our realms no longer. Go. Quickly." Zerin looked around confused at the ocean surrounding him as Durchek appeared next to him. Zerin looked to Durcheck confused as Durchek shrugged and walked right off the southern tip of the rock onto the water. Zerin had just enough time to blink before he too ran out onto the water. Their belief held them up as they ran and the mists rose once more and swallowed them. When the mists cleared and Zerin found himself standing on the small green in Crescent Lake he became even more confused. Durchek looked thoroughly unimpressed. Collin and Frederick smiled broadly at Zerin's return and welcomed him back. Tylette as well hailed him, though he flinched at her prescence. Zerin made a noticeable effort to be personable, but at the moment he needed time to think. [/QUOTE]
