There is something cheerful in the Abyss?” asked BoldItalic. Clotbert also looked puzzled.“Well, yes, the demon-Tharivol got us here fast and stayed with us, at least until we dispatched him that is. He could have instead stayed back in the castle causing all sorts of trouble while we were trying to find our way here. Which reminds me, BoldItalic would you please try sending a message back to Fingers about it. He might have to take measures against future infiltration attempts. Also highly unlikely but he should check on Heian as well.”“Yes, that is prudent, I will try it at my earliest opportunity when we stop for a rest. Don’t worry about it.”“All right, let’s go then, those hills aren't getting any closer by themselves.”They pressed on for quite a while, their steps heavy on the rotten moldy surface of the ground. It was tiresome and depressing as if the place tried to sap the energy out of any visitor. Hour had passed and the pillars or what looked like the pillars did not seem to get any closer. They had entered the hilly area a few hours ago. Coming on top of the next hill they saw some ruins on top of the next one.“We should scout this place over there and maybe make camp for the night,” BoldItalic said when he saw the ruins.“Yes, this location seems like it could shelter us for a while, Clotbert you could conjure some food for us when we get there.”“Then let’s hurry, my stomach is killing me,” Clotbert replied.After a quick search the place seemed safe enough for a camp. The three adventurers set up their camp and started eating. Not long after they had finished their meal, a droning sound came closer. Above them came to float a large creature that looked like an oversized 3 meter long fly. Shapes around the ruins started getting closer too, thin lanky horned black creatures that closed in among the ruins.“They do not seem to attack,” Clotbert observed, “it is strange. Might be that they want something?”“All three of us is what they most probably want, if that carriage over there is any indication,” BoldItalic pointed to a large obscene carriage with at least 20 people on it, all shackled.“Great,” Rylnethaz exclaimed, “just what we needed now, a press gang for the Blood War. Also the Chasme above us overseeing the ‘voluntary recruitment’ is not making things any better.”"Your late fiancée would have been of help here," BoldItalic commented."Yeah but we would never be sure on whose side she would be on. We wouldn't even be sure we knew all the sides too with that dominating snake among us.""On second thought, you are right, she is better off rotting at the bottom of that well.""Please don't speak ill of the dead," Clotbert interjected.At that moment the Chasme made a slightly louder and annoyed droning sound, interrupting the conversation.</blockquote>
