What a whirlwind of time has passed and I finally have a moment to catch my breath and recall the events of the last day or two.
Our first goal was to rescue the Bleachling we had seen in the prison. I am thoroughly vexed at the puzzle this Bleachling has presented. He should not have turned if the tale is true and he was involved in the illegal transport of drugs! Though I do not endorse his choice of excitement to stave off the Change, I believe he should not have turned. It doesn’t make any sense!
In liberating the sorry excuse of a Gnome, the past seems to have caught up with Siris and it has dragged us to the filthy and corrupt underbelly of this fortress. His childhood pal of sorts, Tristan by name, has shared the treachery of the soldiers and their terrible hold over the people who live here. Through a gracefully planned and brilliantly executed display we hope we have helped stir the limp ghost of survival into a daunting spirit of bravery and rebellion among these people! Of course my brilliant planning and talent with casting spells in a timely manner were the most persuasive parts of the plan. Little Min performed almost as well as I, I may convince him to join a caravan yet. He could have quite a promising career.
Luckily, our escape was made much easier by the intervening of Tristan. He knew exactly how to get us out of the fortress unseen. I have noticed, because I am so very perceptive, that our Shield seems more pensive than usual lately. He’s quieter than normal and somehow seems to know the way to escape this horrid place, He hasn’t mentioned being here before. And what did he mean when he told Tristan, “despite my past”?
But I had little time to ponder on these thoughts as we needed to flee into the sewer for our escape. The creature we had been warned about turned out to be more of a respite from real battle than any actual threat. We all soon realized that Siris has romantic feelings towards our companion TreadleBlox. In his attempt to prove his prowess and daring he ended up as useless as a key without a lock. I haven’t laughed that hard in an age!!! I will always recall the not so noble duel between Siris and the Sinister Slime!!!
