Entry 08 Into the Portal

***********
 
The enemies all around us, the party works tirelessly to find their aim and comabt abilities.
 
Comically these fools swing widly while superior warriors are able to fell their foes effortlessly.
 
Ogres and goblin's fall left and right.
 
We reach the portal and sea of green tile overwhelm's us. Master falls sick as the floor comes to meet us and then falls away again.
 
The world changes and the lights overwhelm us, luckily mammals roam this world so we won't go hungry.
 
******************
 
But for real
 
******************
 
We venture through the portal, Master Nasin seems concerned with the moments inbetween.
 
The other side of the portal reveals a truly outlandish image, water flows in every direction, and enormous crystals float.
 
The magic seems to permeate all life, and completely captures Miss Amrith in its grand visage.
 
The Wondering One seems to attract the stones.
 
We approach a decaying watchtower, but I can smell fresh blood. Something dangerous has made it's home here.
 
Master has found something and Miss Amrith seems to recoil this.
 
Walking around the base of the tower we find eyes and tentacles merged into the wall. It seems dead, but still captures the spear.
 
Miss Amrith seems to have more information as she learns her secrets of the darkness. One can hope this land will bring her the power to end both the darkness and this rotting king we live under.
 
Searching round, the beast's hand sits to the floor, but it moves. The petals stick to this hand, Miss Amrith is concerned this beast is the cause. There is nothing good here, bag this and pinned it to a rock.
 
The Wondering One finds a body, in pieces, but the head misses, though all looks dormant. Again this fool, pulls another trick on us, a beautiful strong falcon emerges from a sleeve! This beautiful bird brings back a pumpkin
 
We enter the tower, the lights glow dim with decay overtaking the furnishings, feels comfortable. Master leads the way, as it grows dark I can see in the dark
 
I can see a humanoid battle ready with a shield and spear, it is dark and foolishly I overreach and was taken advantage of, loosing my umbrella.
 
Master is clearly able to communicate with this creature, spectacular as always. This is not death or triumph, another path is opened by his wits yet again.
 
This newcomer speaks of a Lady who has saved thosed doomed souls of the Nashantari. This one may have much to learn of the world. This one came followed to the energy, Master seems to wonder this person, Elya is truthful, or at least pliable.
 
The beast seems to have been transformed into death itself with not even the pristine pockets I have mended surviving.
 
This new one, smells of fresh rain, and spores eminate off her. She calls herself Elya, and says with nothing but moon here for time she cannot remember.
 
The Master pushes for information on this great Lady Savra, but he already knows she is a member of the Court of Nashintar. Though she takes Master's word and will agree to take us, though she may have a plan. Kess seems skeptical, a rare precaution from this one.
 
Master is willing to go along, with this pledge of the Lady, seems she is looking to go.
 
My umbrella drops and turns to a warhammer, though suprisingly light. This is not normal, in this land but a finely crafted weapon. I put this warhmamer into the hand of our fallen comrade, as Elya dashes for this shard of the sphere, but I am able to to grab this.
 
Master is wise to jump between us as this savory being would become nothing more than stock. We learn this Elya believes this shard to be a piece of the tree of Life, an Elowyn.
 
Elya serves this Lady to decide the course of this shards fate. Master and all discuss the fate of this shard but Kess is able to convince us to go together.
