Jack and Xander take the unconscious lizard over to the wall and shackle him up. They then head out the door and head up the stairs. A little while later they here foot steps and what sounds like a lizard barking something. Tasen and Xander hear from the sound someone calling “Master, everyone down in the mess hall is ready, we await your orders.”
Xander Tasen, Wrathale, Reed, Bhass and Jack quickly and quietly as they can up the stairs. But with no luck they hear another Bark.
“Who’s There?” They then hear more footsteps and more until its apparent that what is ever behind them is running. But the sound seams louder that just one person.
They make it to the top room and slide back in… they then try to close the door. They close the door but it makes a Loud Scraping noise on the ground.
They then Barricade the door with jack and Xander pushing back on the door.
They here a loud Cry behind the door as it gets louder. Then the door shifts bang the door nudges open a little bit but they then hear a loud Noise like something being driven into the ground.
Tasen sees a Metal spike holding the door open a crack he also sees swords and hands trying to get through the Crack.
They all hear loud sreaming and roaring and then it stops.
Then they here it get even louder and the door Shoves open a little more and the same noise of something being driven into the ground there are now two spikes into the floor keeping the door open. One lizard slips through the door and charges at jack and Xander. But reed gets in its way be starts attacking.
Tasen runs up to the crack and starts trying to cut off arms and legs that are trying to get through. Wrathale pulls out his battleaxe and attempts to help Tasen.
They here the noise stop and Xander yells, “Here they come again!”
They here more Roaring and Screaming in the background the and they Door Swings open Xander says “Run!”
Everyone then Hops out the door mirror door.

Chapter 9 Lunch time!
Everyone then gathered by the door and readied them selves for what ever was going to happen. Tasen, Reed, Jack, Wrathale, Bhass and Xander all walked into the smoky fog area, Tasen was almost undetectable in the smoky fog due to him being so small and all you could see of him was his head.
Xander looks around with the glasses on and sees two small red dots off in separate directions. He then looks at the door they walked through and it is still a bright red.
Xander then says, “ I see two possible doors or areas. One to our left a ways and one to our right a ways away, which way should we go?”
Everyone else sort of shrugs, Xander says “well let’s go to the left first then.”
Xander and every one else walk behind him. After two days of none stop walking they reached where the red dot was. The red dot had grown to Xander’s eyes and he reached out into the red wall.
“There’s nothing there Xander” says Tasen.
Xander grabs a hold of a small handle and pulls on it. Everyone sees a small circular room with nothing in it but a large door.
Xander walks in and looks around he still only sees the large door and the mirror door he just walked through. He then beckons for the rest of them to come on in. Tasen, Reed, Jack, Wrathale and Bhass all walk into the room.
Xander then walks over to the large door and says “jack want to give me a hand?” jack says “sure” and walks over to the door and Xander and him begin to pull. As they pull the door scratches the stone floor making a loud scraping sound. That echo’s through the room, jack and Xander then only pull the door open to the point where they can slip through instead of opening it all the way. They slip through the door and run down a spiral stare case with torches aligned on the walls.
They then find another door on the side of the spiral stare case. They open the door with no noise at all and close it behind them, they find them selves in a torture room with many contraptions that are meant for pain and suffering. Xander sees a man chained up to a wall on the other side of the room he walks over there and looks at the man.
Jack walks over by his side and looks at the chained up man as well. They see the man has cuts everywhere and is missing and eye and it also looks like his eyelids were torn off and bruises everywhere on his body. They see the mans eyes look at both of them and he starts to moan and tries too push him self away from them in fear.
Jack then panics incase of something hears them and Stabs the man in the heart with a dagger. The man goes limp and his heart starts to bleed out. Xander looks at jack angrily. Then Jack starts to feel him self burning and he begins to make a muffled Scream. The burning slowly begins to fade and jack looks at his arms and sees a rather large scar on his left arm.
“What did you do that for?” Jack says
Xander replies “We could have used some information from him you idiot.”
“Well its not my fault I was afraid he might alert something…” says Jack
Xander looks at him angrily again and walks away. Reed starts to look through a chest by one of the contraptions and find a cloth like that of the princess’s dress. He then hands it to Xander and he examines it. He then puts it in his pack.
“Well, we might as well get moving,” says Xander.
They then go back to the stairs and keep heading down and they find another door at the end of the hall and they open in a crack to see what’s in it they see what looks like a large Mess hall however no ones there. They walk in and they see a small Circular Room with red curtains at the back of the room and they see two windows to either side of them.
They see out side the left window strange creatures that look lizard like and they are what appears to be training and out side the right window humans doing the same thing. “So now what?” Asks Tasen. Right afterwards they heard an alarm go off and saw through both windows all of them walk towards two doors that where on either side of the room. Everyone then ran to the door they came through and ran through. They then closed the door behind them and ran to the torture room. They then sat there listening and waiting.
After a few minutes they heard the sound of the lower door opening and they listened closer and they heard footsteps coming up the stairs they hear the noise get closer to the door. They hear the door shuffle a bit and hide behind where the door would cover.
Tasen walked up the wall and on to the ceiling above the door and watched. The first thing in was a golden Lizard of a sort and it walked over to the human body and began to look at it. It then started to hit it with lighting but nothing happened but it still continued. The second one in stood behind the golden one watching. The third one into the room came in and closed the door as it saw Xander, Jack, Reed, Bhass and Wrathale it was about to yell to the other two when Tasen dropped from the ceiling stabbing his sword into its lungs making the oxygen make a slight hiss from the wound. The other two lizards still focused on the human’s body. The party then drew their weapons and snuck up on the other lizard and killed him.
The Golden lizard then turns around to see his Friends dead and six people looking at him with their weapons drawn. The lizard then turns invisible and runs around the room.
Everyone blinks and finds that the lizard had disappeared. Tasen then activates his Sword of the black Flame silencing anything with in a thirty-foot radius
Wrathale heads over to the door and makes sure nothing gets through. Jack, Bhass, Tasen, Reed and Xander start searching the room for the invisible lizard. After a few moments everyone notices that there are two Reeds in the room. Reed then attacks Reed with his weapons. Everyone stops and watches while the two fight it out but then after a while they find out that one of them was starting to look like a lizard. So Jack, Tasen, Xander, Bhass and Wrathale all join Reed fight him. They then over power him and the Lizard kneels down panting.
Tasen then turns of the power of the Black flame. Xander speaks in the language of Draconian “Do you recognize this symbol?” and points to the icon on his armor. The Lizard smiles, Xander then says again “Do you recognize this Symbol?” Tasen who understands what he is saying translates to the rest of the party.
Xander looks at the lizard then Turns on his Sword of the Black flame, at the same time the lizard pushes Xander backwards and Slashes at everyone else. Xander falls back and gets back up and attacks the Lizard. As Xander Stabs the lizard with the Javelin the Draconian Roars up in Green Fire and it melts Xander’s Javelin into a puddle of mush. Everyone then stands back and the Draconian gets up and Xander turns off his black flame. The Draconian starts to laugh. Then says, “you can hurt me all you want but I’m sure I’m not the one that’s going to die…”
“He’s not going to tell us anything,” says Xander and he runs up and punches the Draconian in the face hoping to knock it out but only knocks him down to his knee’s Tasen the Walks up to it and punches it to the Ground knocking it out.
Xander looks around with the glasses on and sees two small red dots off in separate directions. He then looks at the door they walked through and it is still a bright red.
Xander then says, “ I see two possible doors or areas. One to our left a ways and one to our right a ways away, which way should we go?”

Chapter 8, Through the Fire and Flames....
The party gets on their horses and rides out of town and onto the trail. They ride for three days until they reach the gate by the cave. They ride down the chasm to the end of the pass to find that the doors that had once stood open is now just a collapsed pile of rubble.
“Well now how are we supposed to get in…?” Tasen blurts out.
Everyone sits on their horses to ponder the thought.
Xander says, “We never did go all the way into that cave the Ettin came from.” “We could try to see if it leads into the cave where we found the princess.”
“Then lets go and stop sitting here before we have someone on our tails…” Bhass says.
Jack, Bhass, Xander, Tasen, Reed, and Wrathale ride back to the small cave they had passed on their way to the cave closer to the wrecked caravan. They jump off their horses and shoo their horses away after unpacking everything off them.
They walk into the cave for a total of five minutes then they reach the end of the cave. They see a small tunnel that looks like they can fit. “Well looks like we found our entrance…” Xander says.
“Aw hell no you ain’t making me try to fit in that small opening…” Bhass says.
“Actually, I think you can fit Bhass, and there should be some room left for you to move.” Reed says.
“Ah fine, but I’m not going first.” Bhass replies.
Tasen crouches into the hole followed by Reed then Jack, Xander and Wrathale and Bhass then slowly waddles in on his hands and knees then slowly crawls behind.
They pop out in a torch lit stone hallway and with caution they round the corner going right. They walk down the hall ready for anything. They round another corner taking a left, and keep following the halls they Find another hall with a Dead end.The dead end has rushing water and the party agrees to allow Tasen to swim into it there with a rope around his waist.
Tasen swims for about two minutes then reaches a pocket of air. He takes a breath and swims father into the water. After four minutes, he starts to feel light headed and swims back to the air pocket. He Makes it and lets out a gasp for breath, breathes for another minute, then tugs on the rope signaling them the pull him back. He makes it back soaked but ok.
Tasen picks up his stuff the dries him self with his blanket.
The group walks down the hall for another half an hour until they reach a spiral staircase heading up. They climb up the stairs to the next floor. They find a dead end and a hallway. The hallway fades into darkness. Tasen looks closer into the hall and says. “That hallway has a slope heading down oh id say about ten feet.”
They look at the dead end and Bhass asks, “Can any of ya tell if that wall is magical I can sense some magic but it might just be my imagination.”
“Yeah… I see a small blue box the same shape as one of the stones on the wall. It looks like a door.”
Says Tasen.
Tasen then walks up to the small blue box and presses it. It slides in and a part of the wall opens and slides up. The party looks outside the door and find themselves across a hall facing the large bedroom doors.
They walk out of the smaller hall and towards the doors. “Hey… Weren’t these doors open last time we where here?” Reed says
“Yeah… they were.” Says Xander.
Jack and Xander walk over to the doors and reopen them. They look inside and see the bed still close to the door and the Rotting remains of the Giant they had killed.
“How did the Giant enter the room again?” Xander asks.
“Through the fire place. Why?” Tasen replies.
“Lets try going through…” says Xander.
“Ok…” Tasen says, “Who goes first?”
Everyone just stops and turns to Jack who wasn’t paying attention. Jack looks at everyone else turns his head side-to-side looking at them…
“Why are you guys staring at me like that?” Jack says Confusingly.
A few moments later of Jack is convinced to run through, They get ready for the first test… Wrathale and Reed at the back of the fireplace Tasen at the Orb getting ready to touch it. Jack sits a little bit in front of the Burning fireplace. Xander and Bhass at the Front ready to watch.
“Test one… Check to see what the Orb does… Touch it and watch the fireplace.” Xander orders.
Tasen looks at him and nods then Puts both hands on the orb. The fireplace roars up in flame but nothing comes out. Tasen then lets go and says “ That’s what it looked like when the Giant came Through”
Xander says “Good”
“Jack are you ready?” Bhass asks.
“Yeah…” replies Jack.
Jack runs up to the fireplace and gets ready to charge.
Tasen puts his hands on the orb and the fires roar. Jack runs straight in for six seconds and stops, he feels the heat creep over his skin with pain. Jack roars with pain and runs out of the fire and finds himself back where he was… Back in the same room he just left. He turns around and instead of a fireplace he sees a mirror that fills that half of the room. He looks around the room and sees the Giants corpse and his friends missing. The doors to the room are wide open but sees nothing but darkness with smoky white fog.
A few moments later Xander, Wrathale, Bhass, Tasen and Reed walk through the large mirror he had emerged from. “So it looks like you made it through Jack… we were worried about you a second there.” Xander says
Jack says, “Yeah… yeah…”
Tasen says “We should probably look around and see if we can find that Gem or Jewel we are looking for.”
Xander says “Agreed”
Xander walks up to a large Desk and climbs on top of it and Tasen follows. Jack and Bhass walk over to the large closet in the room and Wrathale looks out side the doors wondering where they are… Reed walks over to the dresser and opens the bottom drawer and finds a bottle that has the words DO NOT DRINK on it in bold print. He also finds a stone and a familiar orb. Reed picks up the stone looks at it and puts it in his pocket. He picks up the bottle and puts it in his backpack and yells out loud “I found our way back… it’s the same orb from the other room ”
Jack and Bhass open the closet and reveal a black orb floating in the corner of the closet. What do you think this is? Says Bhass. “I… don’t know” Says jack.
“Well lets keep moving…” Bhass replies
Jack then takes out a gold piece and flicks it at the orb. The gold coin is instantly sucked straight into the Orbs center.
Jack then looks at it puzzled and walks away.
Xander and Tasen hop atop a small desk and find nothing but some rather large glasses. Tasen picks them up and tries to look through but nothing happens. He then hands them to Xander unimpressed. Xander grabs them and looks through and they shrink to his size and he puts them on.
He looks around the room and sees the Mirror and the space out side of the door glowing red. He takes them off and puts them in a pouch.
Wrathale looks outside of the door and walks forward but not out of the room. He bends down and takes his hand and puts his hand on the ground outside of the door. He feels a strange gooey feeling but doesn’t stick. He then takes out a gold piece and sets it on the ground and lets go. He then takes his hand and reaches for where he put the coin and he grabs the coin unharmed.
Tasen jumps off the desk and runs over to the bed and hops up on top of it. Instead of a body or a jewel or gem he sees a small plushy doll with soulless black eyes and a knitted mouth.
“Hey guys… You might want to come see this…” Tasen shouts.
Reed the runs and jumps on top of the bed and looks at the doll laying in the center of the bed. Xander shortly arrives after and Tasen looks into the dolls eyes but not directly in them.
“Do you think it’s the Princess’s soul?” Tasen asks
“I don’t know. It could be...” Xander replies
Reed then Asks aloud “Princess can you hear us?” at first no response but shortly after they hear a girls voice come from the other side of the room by the black orb in the closet and it says “Yes help me please I’m trapped somewhere… its dark so I don’t know exactly where.”
“Are we sure that’s the princess?” Xander says.
Jack says, “Wait… I think it’s a trick to somehow kill us… that thing sucks things in and they disappear.”
They then hear a loud sinister laughter coming from the doll. Everyone then looks at the doll with swords ready.
A monstrous Demon creature that looks like it has scythes for hands pops ups from the doll and slashes at them. They all get sent flying back to the edge of the bed. Xander gets up and pulls out his spear and melds his Spear to his hands. Reed gets up and takes the first swing at the creature. He hits but the monster swipes back. Tasen jumps to his feet and charges the monster with two scimitars. One attack misses but the other one hits.
Jack runs towards the fight pulling out his two handed long sword. Bhass follows jack but standing behind ready to heal those in need. Wrathale pulls out his battleaxe and swings at the creature. The creature roars in agony then swipes back sending Wrathale back to the ground. Mee starts flying around the room waiting. Xander charges the monstrous demon creature and stabs it with his spear. The creature roars and they plug there ears for five seconds.
Reed then slashes at the demon and it falls… As it falls they hear the creature yell the word “CAME ” and the creature falls dead.
They stand happy until they realize the doll had reappeared on the bed. Xander then unmelds his spear to his hands and picks the doll up. He quickly runs over to the closet and attempts to throw the doll in the black sphere. He Throws the doll and he hears the doll cry “NO ” and the Demon pops out of the doll and grabs Xander. The demon being sucked in by the sphere slashes at Xander attempting to kill him. Jack and Tasen run to his aid and start to hack and slash at the Demon’s arms. Tasen misses the Demon’s arms and hits Jack but keeps trying to chop the arms off.
Xander looks at the Demon creature and he kicks the Demon and it bites his foot. Jack slices through one of the Demon’s arms and goes to the next. Tasen makes another swing and misses but hits Jack instead. Jack roars and slices a second arm off. Xander then smiles at the Demon and turns him self into plasmatic goo. The rest of the Demon’s hands attempt to keep a hold on Xander but they slip and he slowly slides into the black orb.
The Demon yells once again “CAME ”
Reed then yells “The doll is back.”
Xander then resolidifies and runs over to the bed. He says “Enough of this…”
“Reed, I need you to pick up the doll and run as fast as you can over to the Orb when I say go, alright?” says Xander
“Kay” Reed replies.
Xander looks at the doll and attempts to take control of the creature. He succeeds in taking over and says “Now.”
Reed Picks up the doll, hops off the bed, and runs over to the closet. At mid distance the Doll yells “NO ” and the Demon pops out of the doll. It stops and reed avoids running into it. The Demon stands there not moving then Xander laughs… “I have control…” “Alright lets go for a walk shall we?” says Xander.
The Demon walks over to the orb and jumps head first into the orb. It struggles at first but then goes limp.
Jack then walks up to Tasen and taps him on the shoulder. “Yeah.” Tasen says Jack then Takes his fist and punches him across the room and Tasen lays unconscious.
“Now where do we go?” Asks Reed
“Out there” Xander says as he points to the door.
Reed then runs over to Tasen and wakes him up “We have to get moving Tasen”
Xander then puts his new glasses on and says “Lets move out.”
“Well now how are we supposed to get in…?” Tasen blurts out.
Everyone sits on their horses to ponder the thought.
Xander says, “We never did go all the way into that cave the Ettin came from.” “We could try to see if it leads into the cave where we found the princess.”
“Then lets go and stop sitting here before we have someone on our tails…” Bhass says.

Wrathale looks outside of the door and walks forward but not out of the room. He bends down and takes his hand and puts his hand on the ground outside of the door. He feels a strange gooey feeling but doesn’t stick. He then takes out a gold piece and sets it on the ground and lets go. He then takes his hand and reaches for where he put the coin and he grabs the coin unharmed.
Tasen jumps off the desk and runs over to the bed and hops up on top of it. Instead of a body or a jewel or gem he sees a small plushy doll with soulless black eyes and a knitted mouth.
“Hey guys… You might want to come see this…” Tasen shouts.
Reed the runs and jumps on top of the bed and looks at the doll laying in the center of the bed. Xander shortly arrives after and Tasen looks into the dolls eyes but not directly in them.
“Do you think it’s the Princess’s soul?” Tasen asks
“I don’t know. It could be...” Xander replies
Reed then Asks aloud “Princess can you hear us?” at first no response but shortly after they hear a girls voice come from the other side of the room by the black orb in the closet and it says “Yes help me please I’m trapped somewhere… its dark so I don’t know exactly where.”
“Are we sure that’s the princess?” Xander says.
Jack says, “Wait… I think it’s a trick to somehow kill us… that thing sucks things in and they disappear.”
They then hear a loud sinister laughter coming from the doll. Everyone then looks at the doll with swords ready.
A monstrous Demon creature that looks like it has scythes for hands pops ups from the doll and slashes at them. They all get sent flying back to the edge of the bed. Xander gets up and pulls out his spear and melds his Spear to his hands. Reed gets up and takes the first swing at the creature. He hits but the monster swipes back. Tasen jumps to his feet and charges the monster with two scimitars. One attack misses but the other one hits.
Jack runs towards the fight pulling out his two handed long sword. Bhass follows jack but standing behind ready to heal those in need. Wrathale pulls out his battleaxe and swings at the creature. The creature roars in agony then swipes back sending Wrathale back to the ground. Mee starts flying around the room waiting. Xander charges the monstrous demon creature and stabs it with his spear. The creature roars and they plug there ears for five seconds.
Reed then slashes at the demon and it falls… As it falls they hear the creature yell the word “CAME ” and the creature falls dead.
They stand happy until they realize the doll had reappeared on the bed. Xander then unmelds his spear to his hands and picks the doll up. He quickly runs over to the closet and attempts to throw the doll in the black sphere. He Throws the doll and he hears the doll cry “NO ” and the Demon pops out of the doll and grabs Xander. The demon being sucked in by the sphere slashes at Xander attempting to kill him. Jack and Tasen run to his aid and start to hack and slash at the Demon’s arms. Tasen misses the Demon’s arms and hits Jack but keeps trying to chop the arms off.
Xander looks at the Demon creature and he kicks the Demon and it bites his foot. Jack slices through one of the Demon’s arms and goes to the next. Tasen makes another swing and misses but hits Jack instead. Jack roars and slices a second arm off. Xander then smiles at the Demon and turns him self into plasmatic goo. The rest of the Demon’s hands attempt to keep a hold on Xander but they slip and he slowly slides into the black orb.
The Demon yells once again “CAME ”
Reed then yells “The doll is back.”
Xander then resolidifies and runs over to the bed. He says “Enough of this…”
“Reed, I need you to pick up the doll and run as fast as you can over to the Orb when I say go, alright?” says Xander
“Kay” Reed replies.
Xander looks at the doll and attempts to take control of the creature. He succeeds in taking over and says “Now.”
Reed Picks up the doll, hops off the bed, and runs over to the closet. At mid distance the Doll yells “NO ” and the Demon pops out of the doll. It stops and reed avoids running into it. The Demon stands there not moving then Xander laughs… “I have control…” “Alright lets go for a walk shall we?” says Xander.
The Demon walks over to the orb and jumps head first into the orb. It struggles at first but then goes limp.
Jack then walks up to Tasen and taps him on the shoulder. “Yeah.” Tasen says Jack then Takes his fist and punches him across the room and Tasen lays unconscious.
“Now where do we go?” Asks Reed
“Out there” Xander says as he points to the door.
Reed then runs over to Tasen and wakes him up “We have to get moving Tasen”
Xander then puts his new glasses on and says “Lets move out.”

Chapter 7 Unsettling News
“What about the donkey?” asks Wrathale.
Tasen and Reed head towards the inn to put some food in their bellies. Jack, Bhass and Wrathale head towards the stables to drop the donkey off. The stable master accepts the money for its housing and the donkey is led into one of the stalls. Jack picks up Wrathale and carries him over his shoulder to the temple with Bhass.
“Yeah I healed him, I mended him with some herbs I had on me, why?” Bhass replies
“I was just asking, but we will take care of him. He will have to stay the night, but you can come check on him tomorrow.” Says the monk
“Alright. See ya tomorrow.” Bhass replies and walks off with Jack next to him.
Xander walks up into the library with the Elvin girl in his arms, and up to the desk.
“Yes, may I help you?” says a familiar voice.
“Uh yes. I’ve got this question to ask.” Xander says.
“And what might that be?” says the person at the desk.
Xander takes the Elf and puts her on the desk and asks, “When can I get Tarix here Zid?”
Zid looks at the body with awe and says “Ah… Xander you made it back. However, I am not the person that can tell you if this is her or not. But I can get Tarix here… first thing tomorrow morning. I will keep her here until then. Sound good?”
Xander replies, “Sure.”
“Good” says Zid “See you tomorrow.”
Xander steps outside and looks at the sunset. Stores are closing so he heads over to the inn to eat.
Reed, Tasen, Jack and Bhass are already there happily full and well relaxed. Tasen is now reading the book he got from Zid the last time they were here. Reed is sitting next to Tasen reading over his shoulder. Around 10:30 they head to bed for tomorrow’s big day.
Wrathale finds himself in a smokey white mist with nothing around. Then suddenly hears an unfamiliar voice… saying “Don’t let them heal you…”
Wrathale looks around and sees a bear looking at him… and asks “Who are you?”
The voice repeats “Don’t let them heal you…”
Wrathale replies “Why…?, I don’t Understand.”
And it keeps repeating “Don’t let them heal you…” and the voice along with the Bear fade into the mist…
Wrathale wakes up sweaty and confused… he looks around and finds himself in a stone room with a small window by the ceiling with a root hanging from it. He sees his clothes neatly folded on a chair.
He gets up, walks over to the chair and puts his stuff on. He just finishes putting his armor on when one of the monks walks in and says “Oh you’re awake. Did you have a nice sleep?”
“Why, yes I did” Says Wrathale leaving out his strange dream.
The monk replies “Good… however you should stay here until your friends come to get you so that they know.”
“Alright, thank you” Wrathale replies
“You’re welcome” says the monk.
The monk then closes the door and leaves Wrathale alone.
A loud Banging echo’s through the room from the door. “By the order of Tarix open the door. We have orders to bring you to the library for briefing.” Says the man pounding on the door.
Xander gets up, walks to the door, and opens it up. “Good. You’re awake get ready and we will escort you to the Library.” Says the man.
The party sees six men heavily armed standing at attention waiting. Without another word they get up, pack their stuff, and walk with them down the hall. Xander then says, “Uh… excuse me but one of our men is at the priest’s temple being healed… should we go get him or?”
“We will get him after you are dropped off at the library. He will join you shortly.” Says the man in command.
They get dropped off at the library and the men head towards the
They walk up the steps to the library. They see a closed sign on the door but everyone ignores it and opens the door and walks in.
They find that the bookcases have been moved over to make room for a long table in the middle. They see many men at the table but no sign of Zid. The man at the end of the table says “Sit, sit we have much to talk about.”
Xander, Reed, Tasen, Bhass and Jack sit down at five of the six chairs set up. Wrathale walks in the door with the armed men and he sits down while the men guard the door. “Ah yes you’re all here. Good.” Says the man at the end of the table. “Now lets get down to the business at hand, shall we?”
“We have examined the princess.” Says the man at the table.
“And…?” Xander says.
“And… how shall I put this… her soul is missing…” Says the man at the end of the table.
Xander says “Missing…? How?”
“Well we don’t know who did it but we do know that her soul was removed and was either put in a crystal or a gem of some sort…” The man says. “We need you and your group of travelers to grab it for us…if you return you will be heavily rewarded by Tarix himself.”
Tasen and Reed look at each other then turn back to the conversation.
“You will leave for it today for we will give you items of use and horses and a small pony for the little one…” says the man
Tasen looks at the man as if insulted.
“You will each be given a weapon of the black flame allowing you to silence any enemy from casting any spell. You will also get armor with Tarix’s symbol on them allowing you to teleport back to Tarix. “As for the Elf and the Gnome, they will receive a special pair of boots. For the Elf he will receive the boots of speed and for the Gnome he will receive the boots of spider climb. Do you all accept the task?” says the man.
Reed, Tasen, Xander, Bhass, Jack, and Wrathale all say yes at the same time.
“Well I do believe we have a deal… Oh there’s just one more thing.”
“What?” Says Xander.
“You have two weeks to complete this task before her soul withers and dies” Says the man.

Chapter 6 Aw... it's so cute
Jack, Bhass, Xander, Tasen, Reed and Wrathale run down the halls of the cave until they reach the entrance. They rest here for about fifteen minutes, eating and relaxing. The Elvin girl hasn’t woken up but seems to still be alive. The fifteen minutes pass and everybody picks up their things and runs down the chasm.
They reach the bear carcass that was still chained to the floor of the chasm. Here they pick up their speed and head for the outer gate. The party passes the outer gate a little ways away from the decimated caravan. They make it passed the caravan and a little ways up a small hill when Wrathale falls to the ground unconscious with his arms convulsing. Everyone stops and looks at Wrathale. Bhass runs up and applies herbs and medicines to him to keep him from dieing.
After the herbs are applied, Jack picks up Wrathale and carries him on his shoulder. The group keeps walking hoping for the best for Wrathale. It starts to get darker as the day goes on. Tasen is then hit in the back of the head with what feels like a small rock. He turns and looks into the leaves of a tree and sees something flapping its wings with blue eyes. He gets a small glimpse of what it looks like before it flies straight up in to the tree where he can’t see.
He smiles, as he knows what the mysterious creature is. He turns back to the group without saying a word. After thirty more minutes of traveling they set up camp for the night.
The next three days are uneventful. On the fourth day, just a little ways away from town, Wrathale awakes but in pain still being carried over jacks shoulder. He says, “Where are we?”
“Close to town, it’s just over the next hill” Xander replies.
By the time they reach the top of the hill, the party hears a clapping of hooves rushing towards them. They turn to see a donkey rush at them in fear. Wrathale in pain, but still conscious tries to calm it down by talking to it. The donkey slams to a halt right in front of him and looks at him.
Wrathale reaches out to pet it and the donkey doesn’t react. Wrathale says, “Jack… put me on the donkey he shouldn’t mind.”
Jack then says “alright.” He lays Wrathale on the donkey on his stomach.
A minute later, a pack of carnivorous flying squirrels attacks the party. Before the party can react, five squirrels hit Tasen simultaneously knocking him out. One lands by Wrathale and gets ready to attack.
Three attack Jack and Xander while two attack Reed and Bhass. Wrathale who can barely move forces his hand up towards the squirrel and the squirrel looks at him awkwardly but doesn’t attack. Jack puts the Elvin girl on the ground and attacks one of the squirrels. Xander follows suit with his spear and they both miss.
Reed stands in front of Bhass and swings. He misses and the squirrels attack back. They all hit except for one, which is still staring at Wrathale.
Xander then yells, “Run for it!” and picks up Tasen and runs for it.
Jack picks up the Elf and runs for safety. Wrathale tells the donkey to run towards the town. Bhass and Reed follow everyone else and all the squirrels stop to point and laugh at the party. One of squirrels walks up to the one that was looking strangely at Wrathale and appears to be asking what’s wrong.
Everyone reaches the city walls where they stop for a break. Bhass then heals Tasen. Shortly after, he wakes with a large headache. Xander then whispers “We never speak of this.”
Everyone else replies, “Agreed”

Chapter 5 Beauty and the Beast
Jack, Bhass, Reed, Tasen, Xander and Wrathale run down the hallway for about three minutes until they find a second hall branching off from the one they are running down. They stop to discuss which one to go down and decide to keep heading straight.
After another two minutes, they enter a vast chamber and Tasen, Reed Xander, and Wrathale, see heat signatures with their Infravision emanating from inside and above a small underground lake located close to the door.
Tasen, Bhass, Xander, and Reed turn around and head back down the hall. Meanwhile, Jack decides to pick up a rock and he throws it into the water.
Wrathale suddenly sees the heat signatures start to move and whispers to Jack, “Jack come on we should follow the others.”
Jack turns around and runs toward Wrathale but slips and slams into the stone wall and falls down. He quickly recovers and follows Wrathale down the hall.
****
Everyone, except Wrathale and Jack, enter the hallway they chose not to take earlier and begin to explore it. They keep walking without saying a word and stumble upon another hall but it looks like it curves toward the lake room. At that moment, Wrathale and Jack make it back to the group and walk with them.
The party walks down the hall for about a minute then come to a cave opening. They spend about twenty minutes moving through the cave before the walls make a turn.
Wrathale and Reed both hear a soft Pffff, Pffff, like leather being dragged across stone.
Wrathale says “Something’s following us…”
Xander replies “Let’s keep moving. Maybe we can lose it somehow.”
After about four minutes, they find a door similar to the front gates, except they are closed. Xander and Jack open one of the doors a crack so they can slip through.
They step into an enormous room with a fireplace, a bed, a chair, and a wardrobe all extremely oversized. There is one more thing there, an orb atop a giant pedestal.
Everyone heads over to the bed to see what’s on top. Those who are tall enough to see could see a short Elven female bound by silk cloth on the bed. Reed then lifts Tasen up on top and he cuts the binds and picks her up.
Just as Tasen is about to jump off the bed, the fireplace roars up in flames and a Mountain Giant slowly steps out of the fireplace. It sees Tasen jump off the bed and roars. everyone plugs their ears except the Elf who seems to be breathing but doesn’t wake.
The Giant runs toward where he saw Tasen jump off the bed and attacks.
Before the giant comes into view, Tasen hands the Elf to Bhass who carries her on his back and under the bed.
The Giant misses Tasen and Jack charges with his long sword. He swings and hits the Giant. Wrathale fires with a volley of arrows and hits a few times.
Tasen runs up to the Giant and slashes at its foot hoping to get behind it. Reed also attacks with his short sword but misses. Mee fly’s off of Reed’s shoulder and out of the room.
Xander asks Wrathale, “Do you have any rope?”
Wrathale replies, “Yeah I do, but only up to fifty feet… why?!”
“Just hand me the rope!” says Xander.
Wrathale stops shooting and tosses the rope to Xander.
Bhass run’s with the Elf under the bed and across the room. The giant then slams his fist at Jack and hits him but, Jack still stands.
Jack smiles and takes a swing at the Giant. He hits. Wrathale keep’s firing his bow and is now missing with most of his shots.
Tasen gets behind the giant, while Jack has him distracted and makes a swing. The Giant howls in pain as Tasen cuts the Giant’s right foot off. This results in everyone plugging their ears again.
After the howling stops, the Giant falls to the ground but is still conscious. Reed then takes his chance for a strike and misses.
Mee says to Reed telepathically “There is something out there trying to grab me, but I can’t see it.” Reed translates to everyone else.
Xander takes the rope and uses his psionic power to make the rope float in the air and wrap around the
Giants other leg and begins to pull.
Bhass sits by the oversized chair and watches the rest of the party hold off the giant.
The Giant finds Jack trying to climb up his back and quickly grabs him and throws him at the wall in front of him. Jack slides down the wall stunned.
Wrathale now puts his bow away and charges with his battle axe. Tasen, astonished by what he did, runs to the Giant’s other foot and starts to climb.
Reed runs up to the Giant and starts to swing at the Giant’s side. Mee then says “Can I get some help??? It almost got me that time.”
Xander lets go of the rope, pulls out his spear, and charges at the Giant.
Bhass runs away from the Giant and towards the door. During his running, the Giant grabs one of the bed’s legs and throw’s it at him. It misses him, but hits Xander, Wrathale, also the door, making the door swing open.
Afterwards, a green beam of light shoots at the Giant and hits him in the face melting away his skin. This causes the Giant to scream in agonizing pain. Everyone must again plug their ears.
Mee says “That problem solved and… now for the other one please…” Mee then lands back on Reed’s shoulder.
Reed quickly translates and everyone stops and looks around the room for treasure. They find nothing. When they look at the doors, they see some flat surface creature stuck under the door trying to eat it.
To keep it distracted, they cut up some of the Giant’s foot and everybody tosses a piece onto the carpet creature and bypasses it. They then run down the cave halls to the entrance…

Chapter 4 Mee
The adventurers awake undisturbed behind the giant wooden and steel door. They eat their breakfast and get up and head inside the cave. The cave is wide and moist and damp but they continue to wonder forward. As soon as it becomes dark Bhass lights a torch.
They see two passages to their left and right, one passage directly in front of them and one to the northeastern part of the cave.
From the northeastern passage, the party sees a bright glowing light. Tasen and Reed volunteer for scouting it out. They both walk silently to the side of the doorway. Both Tasen and Reed take a look inside. As soon as Reed pokes his head in he hears a voice in his head saying “Hello.”
Reed doesn’t answer and pulls his head back out of the doorway.
Reed whispers to Tasen, “Did you hear that?”
Tasen replies “Hear what?”
Reed says in return “The voice saying hello…”
“I didn’t hear any voices,” says Tasen.
Reed then walks into the room and says out loud, “Hello?”
And the mysterious voice says in return “Hello.”
Tasen walks into the room and says “What are you doing, there’s no one here.”
They both realize that there are animal cages, some filled with starved to death animals and decaying bones on the ground. They look closer at the cages and see one animal still alive. It’s a giant firefly.
Reed then hears the voice and says, “Have you come to save me?”
Reed says, “No… sorry, but maybe you can come with us.”
Tasen then runs back to the rest of the party and tells them to follow him.
The Firefly says, “Oh… well alright.”
Tasen returns with everyone else.
“So... has any thing happened, Reed?” Tasen asks.
“Just talking really,” says Reed.
“Who are they?” asks the voice.
“Just friends of mine.” Reed replies.
Wrathale says “What’s going on?”
Reed replies “I think this bug thing is talking to me.”
“Bah! Bugs can’t talk... ya dim wit,” says Bhass.
Reed ignores Bhass’s comments...
Reed asks the firefly “How did you get here?”
“Well I remember flying out in the night looking for a meal... when something flew over me and I couldn’t see or fly away, then I was brought here where I was left to die... and now you’re here...” replies the firefly.
“Did something fly over you so you couldn’t see or fly away?” says the firefly.
Reed translates what the bug is saying then answers the firefly “No, actually me and my friends just wandered here really...”
As Reed continues to translate he says “What is your name, I am Reed.”
The firefly asks in return “name?”
Reed replies, “A name- something you call yourself or what you are called...”
The rest of the party looks questioningly at Reed.
The firefly doesn’t respond.
Reed says “What do you call yourself, or what can I call you? Who are you?”
“Well... I am me” replies the firefly.
Reed says, “Yeah but what is your name?... What can I call you?”
The firefly says “I am me... I always call me, ‘me’.”
Reed shakes is head in confusion and gives up on arguing with the firefly.
“I guess we will call you ‘Mee’” says Reed
And the firefly responds and says, “Ok.”
Reed then translates the entire conversation to the party...
They then let Mee out of the cage he was in and Mee shouts as only Reed can hear, “I’m free!”, and flies above the room and lands on Reed’s shoulder.
They then realize that they are not in just an animal torture chamber. They see a metal door on the side of the wall and some skeletons chained to the other wall, except one. They see a rotting human corpse chained to the wall directly in front of them.
The party moves around in the room. Then Jack picks up a rock and throws it at the rotting corpse. The rock hits the dead human and it looks up and starts to moan, softly at first and then louder into a horrific scream. At the same time they hear banging and crashing behind the metal door.
They quickly turn around and find another hallway behind them right next to the one they came in. Everybody runs down the alternate hallway fleeing what ever they may have alerted.

Chapter 3 From here to there....
The newly formed party of adventurers left the city of Here in search of Tarix’s daughter. She was either taken captive or killed because nobody knew what exactly happened. The adventures walked for short periods of time for five days, eating on the move, and sleeping to get to the caravan which was torn apart and the princess disappeared from.
When the party reached the caravan, they found guards shredded, decaying, and missing limbs. The stench of death and decay lingered over the ravaged caravan. The armor they wore was ripped to pieces and dented beyond repair. Wrathale searched for any footprints that were out of the ordinary but there were too many footprints to tell.
Just a few moments later an Ettin came roaring down from the hills. Jack weapons drawn quickly charges at it and Reed and Tasen try to get close. Wrathale pulls out his Bow and starts shooting at the Ettin. He misses and the Arrow hits the ground. Xander takes out his spear and readies himself. Tasen and Reed both hit the Ettin but they don’t inflict much damage
Jack Takes his two handed sword and cleaves the Ettin’s arm off making the Ettin fall to the ground dead. Wrathale takes two scimitars and slices the Ettin’s throat. Then they hear oxygen release from the Ettin’s lungs.
The party then heads up into the hills where the Ettin had came from in hopes of finding the princess. They walk up the hill and there they see a giant iron gate and a cave next to it. They go over to the cave and look inside. Nothing is there but a robe and a few gems. They go inside the cave and pick up the items. Reed, Tasen, and Wrathale can tell that the robe is magical. Tasen is the only one willing to put it on. When he puts it on, it seems to shrink to his size.
(Not knowing how the robe works after he puts it on he tries to guess the command word and says, “Allakazam…?” “Zibbdwah?” “My name is Bob?” As soon as Tasen finishes saying “My name is Bob”, the robe starts to shine brightly with scintillating colors. Wrathale, Reed, Jack, and Bhass are now looking at Tasen like they are attracted to him. Xander however was shielding his eyes from the bright light. Tasen says “My name is Bob!” again and the robe’s magic turns off.
Everyone then snaps back to normal. Xander looked at Tasen and says, “Well that’s a robe of scintillating colors which incapacitates all who are looking at the person wearing it.”
“Ah” Tasen says in return. “But I think we should let Bhass wear it, since he’s the only one who wear’s robes.” Tasen then takes the robe off and hands it to Bhass.
“So what is the word I have to say to activate this thing?” Bhass Asks
Tasen replies “say, ‘My name is Bob.’”
Bhass says in return “Aright.”
Everyone then leaves the Ettin’s cave and heads toward the giant gate. When they get there, Tasen, who is small enough, just walks in between the bars while Jack bends some of the gate bars so that everyone else can get through.
They get through the gate and start to walk down a giant chasm. About two hours of walking later, Wrathale says, “I’ll go scout ahead.” No one seems to care. Wrathale scouts ahead for about an hour before he sees something off in the distance. He signals the group that he sees something and, he starts to run toward it.
Wrathale gets closer to the object only to find out it’s a bear with puss coming out of its injuries and chained to the wall of the chasm. It seems dead because it looks like it has been there for about ten days or more. Wrathale gets close enough to touch the fur and the bear starts to swipe randomly at Wrathale and hits him three times with claw, claw, bite. Wrathale falls to the ground unconscious. The Bear looks around blindly then lies back down. Everyone gets to Wrathale and sees the bear, but with Wrathale lying right next to it they know to not get any closer.
Xander uses his psionic powers to take control of the bear’s mind. Xander quickly says, “Everybody take Wrathale to the other side of the bear.” Jack picks up Wrathale and carries him to the other side of the chasm and sets him down on the Ground.
Bhass quickly runs over and heals Wrathale. Xander lets go of his mental grip on the bear and jumps over to the other side of the bear. The bear shakes its head in confusion then looks around with its pearly white eyes. Wrathale wakes in pain but recovers rather quickly thanks to Bhass’s healing. Wrathale gets up and walks over to the bear, out of range of its attacks, and pulls out his bow. Then he shoots the bear directly in the head.
The party starts to walk down the chasm farther. After about another hour, they reach a gate about the size of the other one but with giant wooden doors that are wide open. They stop and camp behind one of the open doors and sleep the night.
When the party reached the caravan, they found guards shredded, decaying, and missing limbs. The stench of death and decay lingered over the ravaged caravan. The armor they wore was ripped to pieces and dented beyond repair. Wrathale searched for any footprints that were out of the ordinary but there were too many footprints to tell.
Just a few moments later an Ettin came roaring down from the hills. Jack weapons drawn quickly charges at it and Reed and Tasen try to get close.

Chapter 2 Bhass, Jack and Tarix’s Daughter.
As they ride into town on the back of the farmers wagon, the farmer says “Well… here we are the city of Here. I just need to stop at the stables for a bit so you folks as can get off.”
Xander Replies “Thank you for the transportation.” And Xander hands the farmer five gold pieces. The Farmer nods and stops at the stables. Everyone gets off the wagon with stomachs growling. With everyone hungry, they head into the inn named The Steady Rose.
They see very few towns’ folk in the inn but, they see a human with muscular arms and an obese man in a robe. A few others seem to just be peasants. Tasen, Reed, and Wrathale head up to the bar. Wrathale generously offers to buy Tasen and Reed food and they smile saying “sure”. While the others get food Xander heads over to the obese man and Well muscled man’s table and says, “Hey how you doing.”
The Obese man Replies, “What’s it to ya Stranger.” in a Western Accent.
Xander says in return, you seem to be a Cleric of some sort how ever, I was wondering if you have had a Vision about a princess.”
The Obese man says, “well first off call me Bhass, Second, I don’t really believe in gods but, I can heal… just if we get in trouble don’t expect me to call on a god or any of the happy crap. Also, no I haven’t had any Visions but there is a poster up about Tarix’s daughter that might be what yer looking fer.”
Xander says, “Well thank you and would you like to join us?”
Bhass blurts out “HA…” “Ya gotta be kidding me. One, I hate all of the people you walked in with because none of em are human. Two, I hate you. And three… what do I get for joining? An item that makes every look human to me? Pfft you’d just be wasting my time.”
Xander says, “Well what time are you using up or do you just not want to go?”
Bhass looks at Xander angrily and finally says, “Fine… Ill go but, my friend Jack comes with.
Jack Roun, who apparently wasn’t paying any attention, says “What now?”
Bhass says, “This person wants us to help his Party go find Tarix’s daughter and bring her back…” Jack nods and continues to eat his food.
Bhass says “So from what I’ve seen we have 5 people… you sure that’s enough?”
Just then Tasen jumps on the tables and says “Hey, you forgot me.”
Then Bhass says, “Whoa… it’s a Midget… haven’t ever seen one before… too bad I can’t cure ya you little shrimp.”
Tasen looks at Bhass Angrily and says, “I’m a Gnome As you can see… and besides you so fat I don’t think you can even see past those Chubby Cheeks blocking your eyes!”
Bhass says well… all be darn your Captain Obvious I hate every thing that’s not me or my friend so back off shrimp. Besides I hate the bunch of ya’ll.” Tasen Hops off the Table and heads back over to the bar and orders a Drink.
Xander says, “Well, anyway, I’ll see you around. We will be leaving in a short while, so don’t go anywhere.
Bhass says, “Can do.”
Tasen Reed and Wrathale get done eating and drinking then walk out of the bar to look around.
Tasen, Reed, and Wrathale start walking to the Library to go find out who made the knife that killed the bartender who died in the last town. They walk into the library and find fifty shelves of books. They walk up to the desk and ask if they can find a book on crafted weapons.
The librarian takes them to a large book shelf, and then he says “Ah here we go. It’s not much but here” he hands Tasen a large book about the size of him but, he manages to lift it. He takes it to a table to look at and reads the name of the book. Created weapons and their Creators. Tasen and the others start to read.
Meanwhile
Xander heads over to the jewel shop to sell the gems they had gotten from there previous battle.
The jeweler says, “well the two brown gems and the green gem I can buy but, the orange gem… phew I’ll go bankrupt if I even try to buy it from ya. I’ll tell ya how much its Worth though, I would say about two thousand five hundred gold.
Xander Replies, “Okay thank you but one thing? Do you know any one that could buy it?
The gem seller says, “Yeah… actually he runs the local library I believe Zid Castura was his name but, most just call him Zid. He should have enough to buy it so… anyway here’s you gold sir three hundred gold pieces and have a nice day.”
Xander replies “thank you and you too” and then leaves the store.
Reed, Tasen, and Wrathale go through every page of the book and find nothing about the knife. But, found things they could get a blacksmith to make so, Tasen buys the book and puts it on his back and Carries it out.
Xander meets them outside of the inn and they split the gold from the gems (Except the Orange one) and every one smiles at Xander who smiles back. Every one heads back into the inn to get something to eat but, Xander says “I’ll be right back I just need to take care of something.” Everyone nods and continues to eat.
Xander walks out of the inn and towards the library and walks inside. Xander walks up the middle aged man and says “hello. Are you Zid?”
Zid replies “Yes and how may I be of service?”
Xander says “here, the jeweler says you could buy it off me.”
Xander shows Zid the Orange jewel.
Zid says, “Ah… hold on a second.”
Zid then reaches from under his desk and pulls out an old kind of microscope. He takes it and examines the jewel. Zid says “I’ll buy it for half price for it has a few cracks in the middle of it.”
Xander says ok and he receives one thousand two hundred and fifty gold.
“Oh and do you know anything about Tarix’s daughter?” Xander asks.
“Ah, Tarix, why yes… it was believed to be that the Princess was on her way to her father’s house when something had stopped the caravan about… oh, say, five days Travel from this city if you just follow the west road out of town. .” Zid Replies.
“Thank you for I have a party heading out for her tomorrow.” Says Xander
Zid says in return, “Best of luck to you then sir and also if you wish to contact Tarix, just come back here and I can get him here as fast as I can.”
Xander says, “Okay, thank you. I will keep that in mind and with that, I will see you later.”
Xander then heads back to the inn and buys himself some food and a drink.
Xander says, “We should stay the night here then leave tomorrow.”
Tasen says nothing to comment after yawning from engorging himself with food.
Reed says “alrighty”
Wrathale nods at Xander. Bhass just sits there watching the group. Jack still eating, says ok well I’m gonna head to bed. Then jack finishes his food and heads upstairs to his room and every one else does the same.
In the morning Reed and Tasen head downstairs and order breakfast. A few minutes later, everyone else does the same. No one talks not ever a whisper. Not till around noon did they get out of the inn and meet by the gates of the city. A little after noon everyone get, together and leave, on their journey.
Xander Replies “Thank you for the transportation.” And Xander hands the farmer five gold pieces. The Farmer nods and stops at the stables. Everyone gets off the wagon with stomachs growling. With everyone hungry, they head into the inn named The Steady Rose.
