Several weeks later….
We came together as a group
after reflecting upon adventures in Orlane we decided to go to the Mount
of the Red Door to tackle a demon that the group had run into earlier
and fled. Milo, Draven, Quasi, Borg, Thagmar and myself headed into the
mount. We returned to the room where the demon was found. The group
burst in prepared for the worst, Draven blasted the demon with a
powerful spell and the demon disappeared in a puff of smoke. Much to the
groups relief the demon turned out to be an illusion. The illusion was
guarding a small treasure that we recovered.
The group
decided to head to the lower level after the confronting the demon
illusion. After descending a stair case we came across a large number of
metallic skeletons that immediately charged our group. Quasi jumped
into action and quickly fired his bow and he absolutely destroyed two of
the skeletons at the start of combat. The group waded into the battle
and took down the remainder of the skeletons.
The group
continued down a hallway until we found a large room that had six
columns, all made of different metals, and labeled with different high
sullian words. The ceiling contained a mural of the stars in the sky.
While beautiful we were unable to determine the use of the room.
We
left the room and entered a smaller room filled with broken furniture
and a long table. During the search of the room Quasi found a small nook
that contained a small magic scroll of mirror image.
Just
down the hall from the broken furniture room we came across a small
room that contained multiple shattered statues, there were at least six
smashed statues crumbled upon the floor. There was one statue still
intact, a rather squat and ugly thing. Draven walked up to it and poked
it in curiosity, which was a bad idea as the statue sprang to life and
clawed him across the face. Leaving bloody tracks across his face. The
group sprang into action with everyone chipping in to bring down the
gargoyle with Milo delivering the killing blow.
After
recovering from the shock of being attacked by a statue, the group
focused and continued our search of the area. We went through several
non-descript rooms and hallways, all of which are filled with broken
furniture and various debris. The group finally entered a room covered
in some type of crude graffiti and contains five large sacks with some
type of creature inside as we heard moaning and saw movement in the
bags. One of the creatures escaped the bag and some type of humanoid
monster emerged and it immediately attacked Quasi. Luckily he avoided
the blow and the group fell upon the creature. After taking a massive
amount of damage, Milo finally dropped the creature. Shaken after the
encounter the group decided to leave the remaining bags alone.
We
left the room and entered a small room with four columns that contained
four glass pillars that contains each of the four primal forces of
nature (fire, water, air, and earth). The floor was covered by a tile
mosaic of a planet. Once again we were unable to determine the function
of the room so we moved on.
The next room we moved into
was oblong in shape and contained 6 large pillars each constructed of a
different metal. We move on and found a third room with over a dozen
glass tubes with dials and other metal attachments. All of which were
broken or smashed. Standing guard at the only exit of the room was four
large and burly humanoid creatures, while not overly friendly they were
not openly hostile. Unable to convince the creatures to let us pass, the
group decided to leave the room.
We explored a little further and decided that we would need to return to town to resupply and plan our next steps.
Well written Sir, you are a scholar, and a gentleman.
