Hits Remaining: 2

Not bothering to wait for his opponent to attack this time, Cait Sith rains blow upon blow at the guard.


The cherry blossom rains upon the pond; drops close to the tempest of the bird!

The guard makes a vigorous attack at Cait, thrusting forward. However, he falls off balance and Cait takes the opportunity to take him out.
 

Cait gains 1.5 experience, a hammer and a sword.

Cait is standing in front of a large ceremonial gate. Beyond the gate lies the Valley he must cross. Looking into the distance, Cait sees that the mountains on either side are extremely steep and impassable. The only way through to the land beyond is through this pass. The immediate terrain is quite hilly. Beyond that it is difficult to see because of the mists that cling to the ground...
 

Gathering his new hammer and sword, Cait Sith heads off into the valley.

As Cait passes through the gate the air quickly becomes much more humid and hot. The air is so thick that it feels like being in the armpit of a Tarrasque. In addition, there is the constant annoyance of insects flying around Cait, including mosquitos, horseflies, and others which Cait has never seen before. Soon, Cait is covered in itchy bite marks. As Cait heads down into the valley the ground starts to get a little mushy, though it is not what one would call a wetland. To the left and right are hills that look a little drier. To the left there are several graves (about 10) scattered widely along the hill sides. They are old and covered with moss. In the distance you see trees...

The graves are widely scattered on a hillside, where the ground is less damp.

(Hard to describe but they are typical chinese style graves. That is, different looking from western graves. Imagine a cement circle made of stone. The rear 180 degrees has a raised circumfrance. In the middle of this there is writing giving the name of the person, any titles, the town they were born in, and the year of their death)

These graves are quite old, about 500 years it seems. Most are covered with mosses and look in disrepair. The writing is difficult to read. However, one grave looks in good condition, as though someone were taking care of it.

Looking closer the inscription says

Kung Lao
Lt. of the Admiral of the Deep
Commander of the Left
Jung San
Died 1 Jing An (500 years ago)
 


I gained fated during an adventure run by Phoenix. I believe I fought ghouls at the time (or perhaps it was zombies). I don't recall the exact circumstances but Cait Sith was exploring a tomb inhabited by orcs and undead and released a vampire upon the world. I would give you the adventure link but it was on the old boards.

Cait Sith looks around for any sign of where the caretaker of the tombstone might dwell and if he sees nothing else of interest he will continue on towards the trees he has seen.
