After leaving the feast we ventured forth as directed by the elders but due to nature’s wrath, we were forced into a cave to avoid a major sandstorm.

 Upon entering we were approached by a spirit of the desert requesting our assistance.  I am guessing this is part of our journey.  Somehow we were expected.  I do not yet understand but have learned that the spirits have many plans for us.

 After hearing the spirits please, we ventured into the depths of the lands.  While the others were just sitting and wiating, I felt drawn towards the door.  As I entered, I was set upon by some strange armor.  The armor without bodies attacked me.

 Aquilla and Bingo came to join in the fray shortly after it began.  The both have different fighting techniques which I will observe over time. 

 Aquilla tends to fight using trickery.  He does not appear to like to face his enemy head on.  Is understandable as he is not very large and has wings.  I would think fighting with those things would get difficult but he appears to have taken what the gods have given him and addapted.

Bingo is another story.  I do not understand him.  He is not like any other Sol Kal I have ever met.  He does not appear to be a warrior because of the strange ways he fights.  But he appears to be a handy fighter when provoked.  It was interesting to see how he took a simple torch and made use of it to dispatch the armor.

After killing off the armor, not sure if killing is a good term, I took my just rewards from the armor creature.  It was an amulet of some type.  Bingo seemed like a fish attracted to the shiney things as he rumaged through the remaining armor piles.

 Having had enough of this room, I decided to venture forth and see what the spirit had in store for us.  As I entered the door, the strange feeling came again and I was suddenly face to face with 3 beasts.  They were large and have horns.  The one in the middle was larger than the other 2 and I knew that I had found an opponent worthy of me.  I let out a battle cry and charged.

 I used all the power I could muster and threw my spear at the larger beast.  I hit it with such force that it knocked him back and impaled him on the wall.  To my surprise he let out a scream and just simply pulled himself off the spear.  I knew this was the one.

The others entered the room shortly after I impaled what I thought was the leader and a great battle ensued.  We all fought together very valiantly.  It was very nice to see how quickly we were able to come together.  Especially since Mykal had not been with us during the long walk here.

Bingo fought hard as before.  He does not have great skills but he does hold his own.  I am still trying to understand his fighting skills but it works for him and has not gotten me killed so it will work for me too.  He does seem to be a little curious and has to investigate everything.  He also appears to have a fondness for shiny things, kinda like a fish.  I only hope this does not lead to his untimely demise as with the fish that is going after the lure that eventually becomes someones dinner.

Aquilla has the gift of healing.  His skills were greatly appreciated after I took a hard hit from the beast leader.  He appears to lack strong fighting skills and looks to trickery.  As long as the results are good, we should be good.  But his strenght appears to be his healing nature.  Based on this little test we are involved in now, I believe we will be needing these skills far more than we may like.

Mykal seems to prefer fighting from a distance.  He threw his stones well.  I will watch him to see what other skills he may have.  Since he was not with us when we left I was not able to get a chance to meld with him.  I think that will come with time.

I am still trying to see if Bingo or Mykal have other abilities
