After only a brief walk northwards, Kalath sees another sign and another path. The path heads of east from the "Path of Fear" and is called the "Path of War."

The larger path however continues on north.

Kalath continues north and for quite a ways, though distance is becoming increasingly harder to measure in the fog. He sees nothing and hears nothing but the sound of his own feet upon the cobble stones.

Then a light shines through the fog and as the fog swirls around him he makes out yet one more signpost - it reads "Path of Tombs" and heralds another cobbled path going east. Whether there are tombs that way or not it is hard to say in the fog.

At times the fog seems almost an entity swirling around and around in the light.

The "path of fear" continues northwards. Or at least Kalath, without any references assumes it is still north.
 


last post for the night

As Kalath continues slowly north, he is sure that he sees something move through the fog to his right. Something vaguely man-like, yet not quite.

A moment later and there is movement on his left. But the fog is too thick to see what it is for sure.

The eerie thing is... there is no sound to be heard to connect with the movement.

A few seconds later and though he can still hear nothing, Kalath is certain he is surrounded on all four sides.
 


Kalath does not make it far before he sees yet more movement and then as he turns, something strikes at him from behind. Turning to react, another darts in from the other direction and then another leaps out from the darkness to his right.

They look like men with twisted faces, fangs, yellow glowing skin and long claws. There is little doubt but they mean Kalath harm.

The ghouls circle, leaping in and out, slashing with their claws and then fading back into the fog only to once more attack.

Ghoul 1: The needle prances by the island; defends against the touch of the steel! *yen*

Ghoul 2: The onyx tree obliterates the well; fiercely grasps the offensive of the lava!

Ghoul 3: The cherry blossum removes the river; averts the touch of the sunflower!
 

Current Hits: 15
Current Ki: 3

Kalath attacks with the speed of lightning, attempting to scatter the ghouls flowery attack!

Attack at Ghoul #3: The thunder scatters the vineyard; averts the quickening of the shield!
 

Kalath avoids the first ghoul, delivers 1 hit to the third ghoul and then is nearly obliterated by the second ghoul. Luckily his armor sees him through and he takes only 1 hit
