Summary

  • Arrived at the place of the guardian

    • Torm and Nigel didn’t arrive with us

    • Guardian was a frog like stone creature

    • Sat on top of a stone chest on top of a stone throne

    • Dan angered the creature, it attacked and we fled down some stairs

  • Arrived at a flooded cave

    • Lured half a dozen skeletons out of the water and defeated them

    • Valis went swimming to explore the lake

      • Too wide for a rope

      • Stairs end under water

      • Valis almost got lost in the cave

    • Considered the cave a dead end

  • Returned to the guardian

    • Agitated it, it started to approach us

    • Retreated to the stairs

    • Dernard used magic wand, the guardian started to grow

    • We jumped into the water before it could attack

    • Seems the guardian exploded, because it was gone after we returned

    • Opened the stone chest

      • 1 wooden staff

      • 1 talisman

      • 1 glass vial with a green liquid

  • Returned to the shrine to rest

    • Saw somebody in the altar room

    • The demon left

  • Returned to the place of the guardian to rest for three days

    • We were in very bad shape

  • Returned to the shrine, and teleported back to the tower

  • Tried to teleport to the mountain, but it didn’t work

  • Got attacked by the mage and the archer we had fled from before

    • Dan used the teleporter at random

  • Ended up going to the dungeon

    • Dungeon was mostly abandoned and little of value left

    • Found a ladder up

  • We assumed the dungeon was under the tower

    • So the room above would contain three trolls

    • This was correct

    • Managed to fight off one of the trolls

    • Other two trolls got dealt with by Dernards magic wand

      • With a large amount of luck involved

  • Managed to climb up back into the tower and fled

    • Stayed the night in one of the outer towers

    • Managed to return to Shackle Keep

    • Home, sweet home!
