Respite Run - Day 2
2 Mirtul, 1373 - late night
Tyr is with us. The orc leader led his troops down the next valley. Well, that’s what it sounded like. I can’t seem to see or hear anything. It’s dark and I am too far away. The rain is relentless I don’t know how everyone else is getting around. I’ve had to feel my way around in between the flashes of lighting. Thank Tyr that Corim and Slyl are crafty and stealthy enough to approach the filthy goblin and orc group and listen in. Their report was as I had hoped. Alyona is tied up in the temple with the spire and it’s just up the hill past the camp. The group that is left behind is not going to trouble us for long. I just need to get everyone into position so we can coordinate our efforts and keep things quiet. Suddenly I hear the sound of an arrow, then the familiar sound of weapon and armor dancing their epic dance. I charge into battle. “SO MUCH FOR SUBTLY!” I can’t believe the lack of discipline. We never really talked about tactics. I guess we will soon. Even in the dark, my sword finds its home in the hide of an orc. Now the battle will be swift and sure. Wait, just when I thought I could not see, I find myself in blackness. Some kind of magic has taken what little light was left. I saw something like this yesterday at the three torches. I hope those “adventurers” aren’t back. I’m going in blind and hoping for the best. The best happens, one more goblin down, I think. I decide to skirt the darkness. From the sounds I hear I think things are going well. Why are the rest of them are running right at me? I think they’re routing. I cut two of them down in one blow. May all my foes taste my blade so completely.
Kelestri is already on her way toward the spire where Alyona is held. I wonder, why is she so intense about her? There more to that story I think. We run to the temple spire. Something hurt Corim. The darkness is too much; I can’t see the entrance to the temple from here. I can tell that Leif can. I’ll wait to see what he does. Corim is saying something about a trap. I hope he doesn’t mean we are going into a trap. I see some figures at the entrance to the temple. If I’m fast they won’t know what hit them. I charge in, but a blast of magic hits me square in the chest. The attack only means I need to move in faster. A second blast finds me. I finally get close enough to attack and hit the skeleton. They look like the skeletons from the three torches, but this one took my best hit. I can’t seem to stop it. Its good thing Kelestri’s sword is ready. Why is it glowing green? It doesn’t matter now. She seems to drop them without much effort. I’m pleased to see such skill among my new associates. I see another skeleton and he looks like he’s going to blast me. I hit the dirt. Kelestri takes it out before it could cast. Eragon is on me with a healing potion. He starts to cradle my head and give me the potion. He a bit surprised as I grab it from him and drink. I wonder if he thought I was almost lost.
Everyone else is inside of the temple and I start to enter too. This looks like a temple to Mystra, but there are strange things here. I see Alyona is safe now. She is so grateful she even offers here healing potions to us. It’s a good thing Kelestri found her backpack. We need to get her home, but first we must know why these orcs and goblins are here and what plans they have for this temple. The alter has some ruins that Kelestri can read. As she spoke them a secret door opens under the slab Alyona was tied to. I bar the doors and lead everyone down, maybe there’s a way out that we can use. There are many cobwebs here, good this can only mean the orcs haven’t found this place. It’s a sanctuary and crypt with a portcullis. There are some useful items here, and some are magical. I hope there are some answers here for us. Kelestri is arguing with Eragon about a broach. Why must they be so petty? I see Kelestri is very stubborn. Kelestri is not acting very logical; she gave the broach to Alyona. There’s nothing left to see here. I hope some of these items we found will explain things. If not I hope they are useful. I’m glad no one wanted to loot the dead here they were all honorable and deserve to rest in peace. We need to get Alyona back to Respite Run.
We gathered up our findings and came out of the secret room into the magical darkness. I finally confirmed that Corim is responsible for this. I explain to him that it makes the battle harder for me and probably others and asked him to do something different with his talent. He seems agreeable. I open the barred door of the temple and head out. The rest of the group follows. There are some Orcs ahead. I charge in and attack. Everyone else follows and they are no match for us. We gather up the horses and head into Respite Run. The Three Torches is somewhat quiet as I run by trying to find Oolathana. It turns out she’s in The Three Torches. Leaf is on stage singing our praises and telling our tale. I think he is very entertaining but he embellishes a lot. Everyone is happy to see Alyona safe. We need to head out soon. Manyoaks is in danger and I think we can stop it. Alyona is insisting on coming with us, Bromar is staying with his wife and forge, and Eragon is not interested in leaving for Manyoaks. He has other pressing issues he has not shared with us. Alyona is a little young to plunge into danger, but Kelestri is keeping her safe. I can tell Bromar is temped to go with us, but he is committed to his obligations. He is honorable.
