Colette's Diary 2021-11-05

There is a day longer on the boat and I just played my flute all the while. When we got off the drinky dwarf said he would not “disrespect his ancestors by stepping onto elven land”. Rude. Perhaps he means his feet are dirty because he does not have indoor shoes!

When we walked to the next place thing it started to snow, but Cedric said there were no clouds so it was strange. He is right! There are no clouds! I never really thought about it before, but there do need to be clouds for snow to happen! How strange!

One of the moons looks like a poo.

The forest here is very pretty, it reminds me of my homeworld. Well home world of my home world? The feywild is what I mean. I have not been there much, but I know we were some of the last of the elves to cross over so we can go back very easily. What I mean to say is this forest is gorgeous and reminds me of that. Yes, Borimas, I know I repeated myself. Hush.

Wait I should have said that aloud.

We found out that there are perhaps giants in the cave we are going to. We thought about sneaking in, but Kali’s hair is fire and therefore not good for sneaking. We thought about maybe creating a beacon to distract them. Using her hair! But this was a poor idea as well. I thought about just trying to talk to them and convince them we are allies. They others did not agree because last time I was shot at.

These plannings are not going so well. We have discussed many different ideas and none work very well. 

So in the end we decided to do both plans! Suzie and I will be acting as diplomats, while the others sneak in (Kali will be in a bottle). We put on the uniforms, I had Bori tighten Suzie’s so that it looks more fitting. 

I watched a giant pick his nose and eat it. I hate this. 

We walked up and convinced them that we were there to test their security. They asked us what the password was but cleverly I said we had to check and make sure they know what the password was! I am so smart! They said it was fish sticks, but no actually it was tabletop! Then I told them we had to check and make sure everything was safe. We marched in unstopped!

Next - I am scribbling this excitedly because my genius makes me so impressed - I will take the pyramid and walk out very angry. I will say “No! This looks to be a fake! A thief - who must be very pretty and smart and clever - has snuck past you! Search the forest they may still be close, I will take this back to see if it is real or not!”

Then we will walk out with nobody being the wiser. So clever!

Inside there are flags and things and an enormous bronze spider-thing. The others find it horrifying and gross - I think it is a little creepy but also very cool! One of those pyramids was inside its egg sack and we were trying to get it out. Suzie said she had mage hand so I told her to try and grab it out of the sack instead of doing complicated things. 

Suzie asked “How are you the dumb one?” And I was very hurt so I went to sulk. 

The pyramids acted slimy and gross and stuck to Suzie, one dropped from the egg and I charged it hitting it as it fell. Then it stuck to me. Everyone backed away leaving me alone, spinning my double-bladed-staff and hoping for the best. They slung spells in but still it was scary that I was left alone at the front. Dhovos at least tried to help. 

Cedric, however, started to walk away in the middle of the fight to search for a pyramid. I do not think he is a friend. I hate him now. But Suzie and Rillia and Kali all said I was very cool and Suzie even called me a friend! So this is very good!

In the next room there was a tapestry of a large city made of metal and light. Inside a tomb there was something Rillia called a gün. She said it shoots boulettes? I am very confused, this thing is much too small to do this. She used it and exploded the spider and destroyed a chunk of the wall.

I am very much unhappy as I was hit with shrapnel of the explosion.

We deliberated more about what to do from here, and frankly not much came from the discussion. A lot of time spent looking at a tapestry and the wall behind it. Rillia used a magic detection and found a bottle of stuff right before we left and they poked around trying to discover what it was.

It was a think - I do not know.

We pretended Rillia, Kali, Cedric, and Dhovos were prisoners we caught and I did my plan that I mentioned above and it worked! So we got out just fine and safely! Cedric keeps being untrustworthy and bad and lame. Bori says I am acting like a child. I told him he is acting like a child. So I won the argument.

Cedric the untrustworthy said that he knew exactly where to go to poof us back to our home world, and that we had enough of the pyramids to do so. I will follow the lead of the others because I trust them even though I do not trust him. I hope to be gone from here because I have not been having a very fun time like I did in Rost. :C

Though Rillia and Suzie and Kali are very nice. I hope wherever we go next I can go with them.
