Mining Away

* Dahlia almost got into a fight with the half-orc guard but Tyrian was able to placate the guard. Mal had attempted to but failed.
 
* They ate their food and then went back into the mines for another day of mining.
 
* The beholder and a guard were chatting and decided to put a little fear into the workers. The beholder was going to kill some random people.
 
* The beholder killed 2 workers before Dahlia piped up that it was not necessary anymore. The guard spoke with the beholder but the beholder still decided to kill another.
 
* Tyrian decided to make a move for the guard and use him as a shield against the beholder. The beholder put both the guard and Tyrian to sleep. Dahlia threw her pickaxe at the beholder and it deflected it with one of its eyes.
 
* Dahlia ran over to Tyrian fearing he was dead. Three guards also came over due to the commotion. One of them pushed Dahlia out of the way and then moved the prone guard. He then chopped Tyrian's arm off as punishment.
 
* Mal ran over and cast a healing spell on Tyrian's arm, closing the wound. Dahlia kicked Tyrian's arm into the crystal.
 
* Tyrian came to and was surprised he had no arm. He was about to strike the guard but then got curious when Dahlia mentioned that his arm was now on the crystal. He looked over then slid down as he wanted to reattach it.
 
* A small lump had begun to grow on the stump of his arm and also on his shoulder where the arm used to be. It looked to be re-growing.
 
* The guard ordered Tyrian out of the crystal but Tyrian argued that he would not until his arm was reattached. The guard took his rope and formed a lasso, which he threw around Tyrian's neck and began to pull him out himself while choking him.
 
* Struth came up behind the guard and sneak attacked him. He was able to kill the guard without further issue.
 
* Dahlia ran over to the other remaining guard (as one of them had already walked away) and killed him.
 
* Struth jumped down to the crystal as Tyrian had yelled that he found a small tunnel. Mal and Dahlia followed shortly after.
 
* Struth & Mal found another tunnel which they went down while Dahlia went down the first. Tyrian continued to stand with the crystal as he wanted his arm to regenerate. Also his other arm had began to form a body.
 
* The two tunnels joined back up together in a Y shape. Dahlia went ahead and then called Struth as it was too dark to see. Mal stayed behind to convince Tyrian to come into the tunnel.
 
* Struth was able to see that there was some sort of crystal cavern at the end of the tunnel. The crystals did not glow like the one they were mining.
 
* Tyrian would not budge until his arm was completely regenerated and the body on the arm also fully regenerated. Mal cast some healing spells on Tyrian and the clone which hastened the regeneration. Once the clone was fully formed and Tyrian had his arm back, they all moved back into the tunnel so Mal could cast an alarm.
 
* The clone was named Tyrone and Tyrian began to try an teach it how to speak.
 
* Alf the weasel came down and after some small chat with Dahlia, went off to get a light source and some food. He had been exploring what he could of the tunnel he had found.
 
* The cavern had a ledge formed around the circular chamber but there were sections were the ledge was missing.
 
* They waited until Alf came back with a lantern and some food. Dahlia climbed across to Alf as she could now see the chamber properly. Mal then Struth followed. Petros stayed with Tyrian & Tyrone.
 
* Dahlia went down one of the tunnels (not the one that Alf had come from) and found that it circled back into the room. There was a water source close by and it did have organic material but also faeces.
 
* Dahlia threw Alf across the gap so he could check the last tunnel. He broke his arm on the way down. Dahlia was concerned but Alf moved up into the tunnel. Dahlia was just able to hear him stop, some muttering and then he continued on. After a few minutes, he came back walking normally and told her it looked to be the way out.
 
* Dahlia climbed across with some slight mishaps but she made it across with the help of Alf at the last bit. Hugging him, she kissed him on the head. Alf told her he loved her which she also repeated back.
 
* Tyrian decided to cross with Tyrone. They also made it across with some mishaps and help from Dahlia.
 
* Petros called a griffon into existence to carry him across. He was flown to the ceiling where he found a white crystal which he was able to get by shuttering the crystals around it. It did serve as a stopper to some lava which started to fill the cavern.
 
* Struth & Mal sling-shot themselves across with each other's help.
 
* Walking up the tunnel, they came to some stairs which they decided to make camp at the base to sleep before continuing.
 
* Mal & Struth scouted ahead and found a room at the top of the stairs. They were forms in the room which they left to be dealt with later.
 
* Tyrian & Petros went to sleep and Dahlia took first watch with Tyrone. Tyrone, by this stage, was able to hold a full conversation. He could hear a voice in his head but wasn't sure what it was saying. Dahlia had been thinking of getting him to take the crystal but decided she would do it. She grinded some up and he asked what she intended. Once she told him, he wanted to also partake.
 
* He took it first and started to age in front of Dahlia's eyes. She aged to about 40. This stopped Dahlia from taking hers. The voice in his head was now clear and was found to be that of Tyrian's. They had a telepathic connection. He needed to sleep so curled up beside Tyrian.
 
* Struth & Mal came back then went to sleep after some conversation about Tyrone. Dahlia woke Struth up through the night to take the next watch.
 
* They all slept soundly and the next morning Dahlia had to explain what had happened with Tyrone to Tyrian. Tyrian then discussed with Tyrone about their telepathic connection.
