The tomb of the fallen soldier 16/05/17


Welcome welcome once again
I promised you blood
I promised you gore
Well I'll give you that and a lot more.

This time our task lead us south
Then bearing to the west
An ungodly foe
To put us to the test


At the head of our band
Gara the dwarf Sorcerer
With spells aplenty
And a big axe to torture


Beside Slay bells
Stode Sef the 1/2 elf
Whos fists of iron
Would smash ice itself

With them 'Nowhere' the warlock whos horns packed more than a punch.
Along with Rhy'leia with arrows and blade
I felt in fine company this journey I made

First night was quiet as we readied our swords
For the frozen cave and a ghost we will have words.

A frozen landscape
Led us to our desteny
Suddenly an ambush !
They struck with tenacity

2 shards of ice
left me on the edge of death
Sef charged forward
A fell within a breath.

The tiefling raged and the rogues bow went to work
As I picked myself up and watched the Dwarf go berserk.

With the danger passed
we licked our wounds
and entered the cave
Untouched for many moons


Inside we were trapped
And 3 riddles were set
With wit and ingenuity
And the test was met

Then came the violence
Dead warriors came fought
The battle was swift
As we reduced our enemies to naught.

Suddenly the floor from beneith opened up
A hero was called for to make the ultimate sarcrifice
As we dicussed or options
Nowhere stepped forward and jumped ! He didnt think thrice

It was a trick! another test
His life not forfit
He was granted a blessing
In truth ...he Fucking earned it !!

Our prize appeared before us.
A diamond as big as a pint glass
We strode forward to or reward
But another test a fatal one allas

Each step brought pain
The monk fell faint
Then too yours truly fell
The Dwarf hit the ground with a burning taint

Only the Rogue and Warlock remained
To seize the prize
But with a scream Rhy'leia fell to floor The light gone from her eyes.

I've an image dear friends
Of a warlock dancing backwards
Finally he stopped messing about
'I'll have that diamond you Bastards!'

My eyes opens
In a chamber unknown
My companions were healthy
With a smug teefling like a king on a throne

Our rewards were plenty
Daggers,swords,armour and bows
A ghost appears before us
With a message before we goes

'Thats no mundane gem
My heros the power it bestows
Its a dragon alarm
In their presence it glows'

Be wary our friends
As our tale is not complete
I've yet to tell
Of the manner of our retreat


Just then a flicker
There be dragons abroad !!
We snuck out of the mountain
And a Baby Ice dragon I was in awed.


I'll handle this cried Gara
This Dragon I can entice
He confidently strode forward
And was promptly turned to ice !


Then the gem glowed brighter
The mommy's comming back
We need to get out of here
Sef had a plan 'this will be good crack'

We pushed over the dwarf
A tobbogging we goes
The elves jumped on
My arse on his nose !!!


Down the mountain we went
The tiefling not far behind
Away from the dragon
Before our bones she'll grind

Finally Gara thawed out
Our fun over for the day
If he knew what we done to him
What would he say !

A new name for our rescuer
Cried Sef in a cheer
Gara Slay bells it is
For all the town to hear.

On the journey back to town
An archway we spied
In unusual lettering
I'll read it Nowhere cried

A droconic ruin
Just south west of town
What it one was a mystery
In anchient times of renown

Thats it my friends
Our time grows short
Time to study the map
In whos fine company will I escort?
