S23 (22)

Continued journeys through place beneath oft sewers. Took breather in old store room nearst to undead whost screamed most fouly and weret rendered back unto death in hallway long.
 
During such rest expressed mine gratitude to friend ArlanVal. While it shouldst not be understated the meaning behind friend Mara burning on behalf oft one such ast I, to have seen Friend ArlanVal stay in the light of scouring and take harm on mine behalf wast most surprising. A thing had not expected and certainly not one with effect lost upon one such ast I.
 
Within this store room potions oft healing weret found by friend ArlanVal's walking exploration, a most welcome find. Once he handed oft to many within the party. Generosity which shouldst be commended.
 
From hence walked through the darkened corridors. Once lit by light eternal and now rendered unto darkness with the dying oft the fel creature we silenced in the room oft torture. Our way wast made to a door barred from without by great metal bars. Passed by afore ast was not the greatest threat to us given how contained it wast already.
 
Within the next room rested a single hatch with turning wheel. Like thosed which held many black slimes from afore. This too we left behind. For it too wast contained and secure.
 
Third room was room oft storage with two further doors. Much oft the room wast broken or damaged by fire most deliberate. Paper in particulars weret burnt. Two tables present had signals and symbols ast table with the bubbling green ichor from bandit fortress. Friend ArlanVal suggests mayhaps hast been part of the cult oft the yellow eye and left untouched for decades. One such ast I give wonder ift cults couldst last for such a length oft time? Year upon year surely, but decades or longer? Seems much unlikely.
 
Friend Velvet didst find ring within one drawer in thisroom oft ruin. The ring wast silver color with darker bronze vine like filigree around the surface of it. Not a hint oft damage laid upon it. The fire that ravaged the room having left such a ring unblemished.

The doors leaving such room led to dusty old place filled with shelves oft books and parchment. The books weret burnt and most aged. within a cabinet low to the ground. Friend ArlanVal found a golden ring with a little twin snake staff at the top oft it. It too survived fire and time unblemished.
 
South room wast store room oft some age. Friend Velvet searched through but found nothing oft interest. All wast as dust and ruin within. The herbs and ingredients once kept sent to ruin by time's cold embrace.
 
We returned to the north. To room with locked place in floor. Such wast opened. Revealing a black ooze! Conflict wast joined, and mine arm lit a flame and rendered it asunder. In the room wast small parcel oft a package. A small wooden box, with ribbon tied tightly around it. Handed unto friend Harper to store and keep safe.
 
Returned to first room barred from without. Found within this room prison after a fashion. Skeletons moved within the cells. Taller and broader. More like human than the skeletons fought by walking armors. Some carried the mark oft mine grand uncles armor. The white flower with petals like tear drops. Friend ArlanVal stayed at distance, using witch crafts to destroy the undead creatures returning them once more to rest eternal.
 
From there went down into the dark. Through the gate to the south.
 
Down stairs found shrine filled with the dead that walk. Skeletons and body still clad with flesh. Great harm heaped upon friend Ashton, but all weret dropped once more to rest.
 
Found room oft glowing green light. Gnarled tree wast seen growing out oft stone pedestal. Seemings ist a no longer livings creature known ast Dryad? On one lifted arm black ripe apple around waist a belt with head oft stag floor beneath ever glowing green light.
 
Opposed to such wast room oft green sludge, with strange fleshy beast wobbling around. Kept from us by gates to south.
 
Ahead found turn in hallway with hole in ceiling. Near to twenty feet in height to place above. Blasted this hole was through solid rock ast if from below. From where we stood. Friend Mara and one such ast I found chamber oft stone box. Many there weret named oft the house Taybot. Friend Harper and friend Mara explored and on reaching out felt the presence oft something recently. Fiendish and undead in nature. Givings thoughts oft Lady Luisa ast the one who wast here. Here to harvest parts oft her ancestors.
 
We retreated from such a place. Came to final place not blocked by bars. Great flows oft green surrounded the last. Friend Harper attempted to test depths with arrow. Couldst not find such depths.. when his hand lifted the arrow nought wast left that went in. The rest oft room had much heat and moisture. Friend Harper made efforts to open a pipe. It gushed great amounts oft scalding hot waters out upon the ground. Pushed the green ooze, but fails to dilute such. Took both Friend Mara and mine efforts to close once more the end cap to such a pipe.
 
At rooms secured by bars, to north wast dryad slain by age, with great green glow about it. To south blob oft flesh with great maw oft a mouth upon the top. It felt oft.. Evil.
 
Friend Harper released an arrow, let it fly, with regrets such flew wide. The beast oft evil screeched in reply. Great powerful oozes wide ast the corridors, tall ast the ceiling! Battle we joined and battle we kept!
