[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7272151, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 07 EMERALD CLAW ON THE MOVE SEGMENT 147 “CRACK IN THE GLASS” 10/31/17 BARRAKAS 1, 1000 It is near dusk as the group spots a large landmass….. very large. Towers of glass that stab the sky reflect the strange star light and stranger moon (light is given off but there is no visible moon). There are now slight currents within the water. These currents move away from the direct the group is moving to. “Is that…. The Hidden?” asks Zigland. “dah-dah-dah….” Stutters the summoner. (daddy) “The wall that surrounds it anyway. Are those campfires within it?” adds the Inquisitive. “Several….. fires.” Concurs the knight. “Enough for a large caravan to camp by.” Adds the protector. “Maybe…. Auser can help….” Offers Kyr. “Who? What is an Auser?” asks the changeling cook. “Auser….. is my pet raven.” “More secrets Kyr.” States Tyson with obvious distain for the strange most likely insane summoner. Insane and dangerous. “No secret. No one ever asked me about her.” “so….. now I am asking. Who or what is Auser the raven?” demands Tyson while watching over the summoner’s shoulder- at the campfires. “A familiar I would presume.” Interrupts Ayru. “I want him to answer.” Says Tyson with an angry undercurrent. The more the summoner says, the better a read he will get on the mage. The summoner clicks his tongue and raises his arm to offer a landing site. Shortly, a strange black raven flies down. Tyson swears he saw a third eye on the side of its skull. More mutations. Shortly the raven takes to the sky once more and flies towards the camp fires. Kyr is getting a mental image of what the raven sees with its eyes. The New Water surrounds a peninsula of black glass. The glass is cracked in two by crevasse that goes deep into a jungle – like valley. There are four large fires that are located along the edges of this crack. Many people, possibly two dozen, are here along with one very large cart. A huge creature of burden is on the other side of the cart. Kyr tells the group about this much. If the raven and he saw more, he doesn’t tell about it. “Get closer then summon…. Critters?” asks the changeling. “How do we attack them from both sides of the crevasse?” asks Ayru. “How many invisibility potions do you have?” asks Tyson.

Ayru points at them with frustration and anger. “It is done.” Says Tyson as he turns and makes way for the closest opening through the glass where the summoner is headed. Almost as if it were planned, Zig begins to drop acidic bombs onto the largest cluster of soldiers and Kyr sends in a mutated dire wolf. As the wolf gets close he summons a thick fog. “He…lacks ….planning” says the undead warrior as he and the remaining two move towards the parked caravan wagon. The summoned beast can not fully attack now but neither can the Emerald Claw members. The acid potions are causing a great deal of confusion on the other side of the crack. Everyone is looking around for the attackers but not looking up. Good for Zig. A few soldiers fall over the edge as they try to escape the acid and burns.
