Sure, I stayed behind at the "golden house" after our incursion with the Demon Wolf, but it was to further my thesis on the practical uses of magic in law enforcement. Hunter decided to stay with me, and we recruited Bob and Dunnigan on our way to rendevous with Janus and Hazar. How the Baron could let that danger Hazar off a leash is beyond me. Good thing I learned the Web spell from my fellows.<br /><br />As we continued, I found myself more and more intrigued with Silvanus. Perhaps, if Janus doesn't mind, I'll convert this run down temple into my own laboratory/library, if she is offered the upper recesses for her own purposes. As of now, I am beginning to think I need more than a pathetic Magic Missile to defend myself....<br /><br />But, that is for Rob's next blog post....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-53719424564062541572010-08-23T22:48:31.513-04:002010-08-23T22:48:31.513-04:00- Continued from previous Comment-
* I bravely fa...- Continued from previous Comment-<br /><br />* I bravely faced the ghastly ghouls in the hallway, to dispell them with my silver medallion of Silvanus! However, either Silvanus was napping, or the presence of so may non-believers nearby caused the spell to fail!<br />Even Hazar tried to comfort me - by showing how easily he was able to roll successful attacks using the mystic stone of 20. Yet, for some reason I felt not at all pleased? I attempted to redeem myself by hurling a bottle filled with holy water among the fiends, but Hazar must have jostled my arm or some-such happened, as instead of dousing the ghouls, most of the water ended up splashing over Hazar! To my surprise, the Holy water did not harm him! I managed to destroy one ghoul with a second bottle, and destroyed another with a well-placed crossbow bolt. I then had the amazing idea of putting Hazar to some use! Since he was already dripping with Holy water - why couldn't he 'hug' one of the fiends as if it were one of the women he must find in dark holes near the ports where he's from? The thick-headed oaf took my advice, and his sloppy embrace granted eternal release to one among the remaining ghouls!<br /><br />* Though we all fought desperately after that, one by one we succumbed to the paralyzing claws - till only Hazar remained to fight for all of us! Somehow he managed to not only survive - but even to save those others of our party who were about to be devoured! I could scarce believe it - could Hazar be turning toward the light?<br /><br />* This is where events stood at the end of the battle. Hazar could have been a hero - but as you will no doubt read when the creator of this tale chooses to continue - Hazar didn't think that doing the "smart" thing was "fun" enough!<br /><br />This then ends my addendum's for today's scroll. Although I have done a quite wonderful job of describing our party, and have cast a spell of clarity over all of the days events, I will allow that some others may hold some trifling disagreements to these words as they are written.<br /><br />I hope that each of the others who were lucky enough to have accompanied me on this quest, will also set quill to vellum, and post their own insignificant versions of this days events!<br /><br />Blessing be upon ye<br /> -{ JANUS }-JeraldSrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314357004149478011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-3495591985000970962010-08-23T22:47:32.788-04:002010-08-23T22:47:32.788-04:00--Continued from previous Comment-

Lest some see my remarks as biased, I will allow that both Hunter (a Halfing Fighter), and Alaghazar (a Human Mage of Thoth) have shown acceptable skill and are of some courage. Dunnigan (a Dwarven Fighter) and "Bob" - (another Human Mage) have hardly been with us long enough to be worth mentioning - but the fact that I have done so shows once again what an extremely gracious soul I can be! Would that this were the end of our small roster, but there be one more yet to be mentioned, and that I have not yet slain him surprises even me! Surely this "Hazar", a Human ruffian who fancies himself a Thug, and even seems to think that he has some small skills, must have been sent to test the limits of my tolerance towards idiots in general! But enough about my motley travel companions! it is I - Janus, the daughter of a noble Elf, whom has been sent here by the Blessings of Silvanus, to insure that His most Holy Relics should not be left in profane hands!<br /><br />The once magnificent Temple still holds some memory of it's former glory! Despite the desecration done by the enemies of our people, and the ravages of time, I can still see clearly in my mind, the memory of it's proud past! I had better stop here for now. The others have scattered like rats in a pantry in their mindless search for "treasure"! I must needs hurry and keep an eye on them, lest some items of more import should appear before them!<br /><br />* In the Alter Room - Alsgazar shows remarkable insight for a Human, and makes some small praises of Silvanus.<br /><br />* Silvanus grants me strength so that I can continue to do whatever I may - to destroy at least of the evil that inhabits His Temple!
