Entry 29 Trek into the Heart

by Vaz

Master sends me to range ahead in order to find a suitable camping ground, though I see these large mechanical spider harvesting mushrooms, fellow seems a bit prickly. Reporting back to the Master, it seems this spider was quite cautious around these particular mushrooms, and the Molted One knows this one is a Shrieker, a mushroom that screams, most interesting. Master deliberates our course of action and wisely chooses to carefully sneak past these alarms and traps. He is most wise, none would have thought of such a clever plan. (4/6 ki pwt) The shadow's embrace holds Master and his followers close, as we traverse this battlefield.
 
We divert south in order to find a shelter, slowly and carefully we avoid patrols until it becomes a confusing jumble of streets, a heavy fog blankets the area. An odor of dead younglings fills my nostrils, seems a nest mother has abandoned the brood, a corpse eater, or sulfur. It seems the rules of the universe are less meaningful in this place, what a shame. A stream blocks our path, seems it pulses with magic, the others cross and observe grounding rods for magical energy, looks like a bottom feeder then.
 
Walking towards the center, Master and the Soul Splitter discern this place looked to harness a great source of magic to bring forth a god of Secrets, such a being if it existed, could clearly have been brought if you had a secret it wanted, foolish elves. The New Skin sees a bridge floating in the sky, and flies up, a bird dripping mud. and finds a flame watcher. This Flame Guy wants us to release a creation upon the world for his enjoyment, seems for he is but a guardian for one who waits behind. This one seems to be unnamed, or more accurately one of arithmetic. Varta accepts this challenge and creates a nightmare than only deserves death and oblivion. The Master shows that his ego has no bounds, and this is accepted, and I a humble servant, am allowed to follow. Miss Amrith is given passage without question.
 
This place is an odd place, clearly a manufacture of mortal hands, this seems to have brought in all this land into one spot. This locations power is unstable, you can taste it, this Master is beyond his means and doesn't know it. We rest here before approaching this immortal.
