Talk about a close shave to death. I thought i was going to die after being hit by fire balls. It was as if those guardians or whoever the heck they were, were expecting us. If it is not for Gronad’s healing powers i doubt if i would have survived to write the journey down.

We knew we were going to face formidable challenges the moment Sloth played hard ball on us to share information only when we get the keys from the other lords of the place. Being stuck between a rock and a hard place? yes that actually was one. After passing through the sewage, we walked into a transporting place. As Gronad, Skippy, Elrohir and stepped in, we got transported into this place and before we even knew, we were hit by fire balls. I was falling down and could see by the corner of my eye, skippy being hit too. Gronad, I owe you one. Maybe a bottle of Rum. Hmm, yes he deserves one.

As we got healed by Gronad, we saw a creature flying in and challenging one of us into a combat with the condition that if she would spare us only from eating us all up only i she loses the battle. She certainly didn’t appear as one of those push-overs either and we didn’t want to count her out as a invalid threat. We chose our champion as Agro and we did a great choice. Agro defeated that creature.

Being a pirate, journaling my day and thoughts isn’t something that did before but lately the thought of writing my adventures down is something i have been very interested to venture into. I have been having quiet the adventure with this crew of men, and i would like to remember this for years to come. We have stayed so many beasts, giants, and lately even a very powerful temple guard whom i learnt is someone who is almost like a chosen one of Gods. I wonder if in future there will be tales told and re-told about our famous victories.

On second thought, our stories may not be as popular in the town of Sand point since they are aware that Rothgar killed an old lady, albeit it was accidental.

Speaking of Rothgar, i was pretty sure he looked and sounded like he was possessed for a brief bit. Even Agro could sense it. Well, i do know for a fact that Gronad was possessed for a while. As if he is not grumpy enough already, he acted even more like himself( by that i meant, grumpier, obnoxious, loud version of the normal self..think i prefer the version of him when he has a brandy or any alcohol for that matter). Thinking of Gronad for some reason makes me miss being at the pub in the town getting drunk for was it 4 days? wait..5..no it was 7 days. oh the glory. I need alcohol now...

We were in this strange looking tunnel which looked like it was a dead end. I for one was suspicious it could be having some secret door or entrance which was hidden to our plain eyesight because of some ancient enchantments. I mean, among the few things i have learnt from my adventures is there is most likely no such thing as dead end. We did end up finding a secret door and as Gronad went in i heard a commotion of sort. I realized he may have ran into some enemy but before i could do anything i heard a faint whisper in my head saying the people whom i considered my friends had been tricking me all along and were secretly plotting to actually sacrifice me. How devious of them. I wasn’t very sure about the voice(which i learnt later was an enchantment..well clever trick setup as a means to protect that place i guess?) but then i am not the one who is about to take chance specially its my own life that is at stake here. I immediately started running away. I may have ran for less than a minute before that enchantment lifted off of me and i came to my senses back again. I rushed back to witness Skippy sawing off the head of a temple guard. He looked satisfied. Well, after the ordeal of being threatened by a creature from whose hands worms came out, i think Skippy had to vent off the rage somehow, and the temple guard must have been the victim. Either way, we survived.

Skippy woke up the crew. He explains them about the sound he heard from the Dam. The crew first decided to go back to the prison where Kaven is held up. The interrogation of Kaven, did not yield much fruit and they decided to attend to the immediate need to check up with the status of the Dam and help the people if there is a need.

Rothgar summoned Agro and they picked up Gronad and Elrohir as they decided to fly to the Turtleback ferry. Berendir, does not like Sarah and so when Sarah decided to walk to turtleneck ferry and wanted one more person to accompany her, he happily declined the offer and decided to stay put. So, Skippy joined Sarah as they started walking through the tunnels and head to the turtleneck ferry.

the crew was staring down the barrel with surrounded by Ogres from the room to their left, which are about to attack and there was Lamia and the head-Ogre about to pounce on us as we opened the door directly infront of us.
There were two Ogres inside the left room and our team decided to split the focus between the Ogres and Lamia & Head Ogre. Berendir shot arrow at the Ogres within the left room and he killed it. The other Ogre in that room was taken down by Agro. Now that, that room is free, Berendir turned his focus toward the monster and the Ogre facing him infront. He did a somersault to avoid getting a wild swipe by the Ogre since at that point, it reached quiet close to the entrance of the door. Berendir then shot an arrow at the Ogre but it only grazed past the shoulders of it and failing to inflict any major wound. Meanwhile, Agro and Rothgar opened the door which was at the beginning of the adjacent hallway, only to find two more Ogres inside. One of the Ogre, with its mad rage, shot a lightning at our crew, and we all received a blow of it causing wounds to each of us. Rothgar take down one of the two Ogres. Meanwhile, Berendir was caught off-guard and receives a slash from Lamia. Rothgar came to rescue and he took down Lamia. Rothgar is hit by confusion spell, just as he took down the ogre that hit us all with lightning earlier. To avoid getting hit by confusion, Elrohir started running away but he got back when Rothgar called out for help. His confusion spell is cleared off by Sarah and we resume the conquest by looting the rooms.

Elrohir took a watch while Skippy slept and recuperated. When Skippy’s turn came up for watching, he hears a large crack and crash. He speculates it must the crash of the dam and wakes up the party.
