Oh Well...

I'm writing this in the early morning before the rest of my companions have awoken for i had no time last night. I don't even know where to begin. I've seen things that whoever reading this would be hard-pressed to believe. I will try to detail it well, maybe for my own sake. We arrived at the Karno compound on the sixth of shine. This compound is a growing farmstead of around 300 avian, gnomes, and even halve avian-gnomes! We met a rather simple avian who told us of the well we were looking for. Its a well the compound relies on as one of a few water sources, its apparently been here much longer than the compound. We entered the compound and met with the elder of the place, an old avian who was very gracious and generous. She told us of the wizard that entered the well and how since then nothing has left. She promised a big feast should we return. We made haste then straight to the well and entered it easily for there was a ladder built into the stone. As we reached the bottom Armitage lit one of his 30 torches and we saw a tunnel that veers off from the well and we followed it. It looked like a natural cave until we came to two doors.
 
I must preface this with everything written here is the truth.I swear on my life, i swear as a true follower of Monlo.
 
We Entered on the Right and we found 3 corpses of curious creatures. None any of us had seen before, except for Derretti who recognized the creatures as Kobolds from his world. They looked to of been there for a while because they had mummified. We found a secret door that led us into the left room where we were greeted with a sign congratulating us for entering the left door. While we stood dumfounded looking at the sign i experienced one of my worst fears. A disgusting brown and orange slime fell from the ceiling onto ELARIA and took her down to the floor immediatly. I bashed it off of her with my shield and the slime was quickly delt with. Derretti healed her luckily because she was very very close to dying from that horrid creature. Just thinking about that moment fills me with fear for i have sworn to protect Lady Elaria. After shaking that incident off we opened the door further ahead and came to a sight that defies explanation. There in that room was 9 skeletons playing a game of curling.
 
there i said it
 
thats literally what was happening. I stood in stunned silence while the rest of the party cheered with the skeletons but Deretti slowly closed the door again. No one trusted a group of 9 skeletons so we headed through the door on the right side of the dungeon and saw a table. once we entered, the door behind us disappeared leaving just a blank wall. Then magically appearing on the table were 5 plates with various meals on them, enough for each of us. Apparently everyones favorite foods except mine. Elaria was willing to taste her "salt soup" but i could not risk it. I volunteered to take a bite of the plate that was apparently mine, spiced goat. I bit into it and it was nothing special, kinda bland. the door ahead opened and we continued on past that uneventful room.
 
The final room
 
We found a chest and a spellbook. Elaria and Deretti worked together to unlock the chest and inside they found a beautiful belt. which turned out to be a belt of teleportation belonging to the Oz family. Then Armitage opened the spellbook with haste and was cruelly clawed by monsterous arms that reached out of the book. They withdrew back into the book and out popped a wizard. Wham.
 
He's kind of a dick.
 
He wrote that sign. And apparently taught those skeletons games to play in order to allow safe passage and he trapped the Devourer in that spellbook but unfortunately was trapped in there with it for 20 years until Armitage opened it. He had no idea that time passed and although he was suprised to hear that Ozma and Dorothy were dead, he changed into a Zoot suit and disappeared.
 
He's a Dick.
 
We went back to the compound where we were greeted with a wondrous feast. We shared tales, ate good food, and made new friends.
 
A member of the compound asked Deretti if he could help them figure out a way to bring more water to the for their crops. Unfortunately they only had two options and neither were easy. They could either pay for a pump that would cost 3000 gold or they move the compound next to a better water source up north. They were understandably saddened to learn of their choices, i tried cheering them up and gave them their first donation of 15 gold.
 
Deretti and I promised to come back and help them.
 
And with that we slept with ideas of what our future brings
