It was a lovely day, the sun was shining, and a school of iridescent fish swam by while the ghost from the big room sat talking to me in the shade of a great fig palm. He was telling me that I should exercise more caution. To be more aware of the danger in the world and try to anticipate it in the future, or I would not have one. At this point one of the iridescent fish swam into his ear and was trapped within his translucent head…

When I regained consciousness I realized that I had been incapacitated by the escape of a lightning demon that I had released when attempting to investigate the chest. I was elated; I did not believe another of the demons could be imprisoned, so I opened the chest.

Within were 3 swords that delivered a horrible sensation, so I dropped them each in turn. There was a magnificent woven metal shirt that would have been quite wonderful if it was not damaged in the back. Then I found the metal hand and forearm! It is wondrous and fits onto my south claw perfectly.

Our final bondling has joined us! A fellow Sol’Kal, though he too is a Lobite like Gi’kar. From the tale he told he strikes me as unlucky, though time will tell. Kan Vi’Don Lu seems a solid Sol’Kal.

The final door led us back to the main hall and the ghost spoke to us again of prophecy. What, I can hardly remember. The new metal hand had totally captured my attention.

We made our way back to our kit and camels and headed off into the waste once more.

After a few days we felt a tremor and discovered too late that a colossal worm was beneath us! It surfaced and devoured the camel of Kan Vi’Don Lu; bad luck. With no other action I could think of I knocked and loosed three arrows that, by the gods, must have landed in perfect places to maximum effect. Because I was amazed when the beast fell dead. It proved the wisdom of Lacumi when he said, “If it bleeds, you can kill it.” Even though we where discussing ghosts at the time. Huh. Need to think about that.

Days later we encountered strange shambling things that looked like walking corpses, we battled long and hard. Many of us hit them with attacks that would have felled a being ten times the size, but they shrugged it off. Once again Aquila divined the proper strategy. He grappled them and when they were immobilized they weakened and died. Amazing! Once we saw the wisdom of his actions we quickly dispatched them.

We should be close to the end of the waste and closer still our goal…
