Hey Lils,
Thought I would write cause I managed to get into a freaking Dwarven citadel on a mission, the whole thing was built into the side of a mountain with doorways right into the Underdark. Yes it was super cool, yes it was a structural marvel, and yes you would probably freak out on sight.
And YES I did use my most polite dwarvish, I know Dad would drop everything to get here and give me an earful if I didn’t.
I didn’t get to see the place too much though, Vorsthold it’s called, cause when we were walking with the mayor and this blacksmith representative from Daring (Milo and his apprentice Nem I think?) we got ambushed by these shadows. The shadows eventually buggered off but Triss, the lady who had asked for help, grinned like a fool and chased right after into a portal. Like, I wasn’t super pleased about running into some spooky smoke plane but we weren’t gonna let her go alone you know. If it could help these Vorstborn out then it’s worth it.
So yeah we all jump through after, well as much Ruthenia can ‘jump’, and try to get through this weird plane thing. Time and space was big time weird there, Alenea was popping through shadows and stuff, I even managed to forward roll yeet Igrainne somehow.
Once we were through we got to this ritual stone room place which was proper creepy, there was even this stone table with magic rune things. Whole evil magic package. Of course this included a super ominous magic guy summoning silent screaming shadows at the table, guy had skin so old it looked like paper, and he was pleased so see us? Surprised, but pleased.
Dude then magically freezes Triss and starts pulling her towards this silver cage in a hallway, so of course I start shooting. We all do really. But there was some magic forcefield thing, whatever, and he summons all these shadow friends to keep us busy (The others said they were called wraiths?). I was too busy freaking out about the fact that Stripes was still on my back to be asking questions.
Jacinta managed to get past the forcefield with her own magic, but I couldn’t see much of what was happening in the hallway after that cause I kinda... got possessed.
I was still there Lily, I could see everything ‘I’ was doing, all the hurt I was inflicting on my friends but I had no control. Nothing. For some reason Whistler and Alenea got close even though I was doing the glowy melting thing and I was screaming for them to run away, but my mouth never moved. I hated it. I…
I’m not too sure about what happened in the end in that room, but I did see a dwarf with strawberry blonde hair appear and sweep Jacinta off her feet. Don’t know where Triss and paper skin guy was. The thing that had me was frozen scared, and then we were all on a beach and the dwarf was actually a goddamn dragon! A bronze dragon!!
Kanerax (the dragon) touched my forehead and for some reason I heard paper tear, but that doesn’t matter cause I got my body back. Finally. They talked about I dunno what with the others, I was too busy sitting in the sand getting the best healing ever from my friends and checking I really had control over all my limbs.
We all got out, we’re all safe now. I’m safe now. I promise.
Miss you sis.
Love,
Wren
