Expedition 18B - Dalgarn's Account

Blue's Accounts 2021-09-16

Excerpt from the journal of a dwarf Dalgarn, the Bane of Rats, member of the Redwood Raiders.

Elven, dwarven or human, all ruins get infested by those hateful creatures. I've no doubt this tower is the same.

Left Hats behind to guard the mules, since the Baron's guy got killed by the shadow.

Entering the tower we were immediately attacked by a group of undead. Tall lanky creatures with sharp teeth and long claws.

Me, Rarder and Alfredward charged at them while others tried to turn them and fire at them from afar.

They hit us with their tooth and claw which paralysed on contact. Rarder went down first and Alfredward soon followed.

It was a blur after that and I too was soon hit by one of the creatures. All went black.

I woke up in a cell. Artzua was next to me and most of our companions were in the nearby cells.

Rozza didn't make it. Torn to shreds from what I heard.

In the cells there was also some miserable elf and a human called Peach.

Though of elven make, the stone and metal of the cells was too sturdy to get through.

Rarder and Amos found a loose wall inside their cell. Beyond it a tunnel which they went to explore.

Our captors had been feeding their prisoners with giant beetle carcasses. We used their body parts to fashion ourselves makeshift lockpicks.

Took a while but we all got out. Rarder and Amos were still not back. Their cell only one still locked.

Me and Peach held the door to the room while Alfredward picked the lock.

Soon the shambling prison guards came and started pushing against the door.

Alfredward unlocked the cell just as we were getting overwhelmed. We ran away as fast as we could.

Running through some caverns and up the stairs we regrouped with Rarder and Amos. They were likewise being chased by undead.

We clashed against them. Peach went down to the paralysis but Artzua managed to repulse the creatures with her divine powers and Rarder and Amos finished them off as they were fleeing.

We escaped the tower but now we have to trek through the forest with no equipment but few spears.
