A Sticky Situation

by Aerilyn Faeyth

"Your spider shouldn't bite me, I have ligma!" The priestess asked, "What's ligma?" "LIGMA BALLS BITCH!" I yelled back. Neolani proceeded to throw one of her iron balls and nail the spider. The chaos of battle began but I wasn't focused there. At the top of the cave, I saw a scout wrapped in spider web and he was being pulled by someone. I could make out if they were a friend or not but I wasn't going to risk it. I created an illusion of more rock to hide this person's activities. I think in total we killed Lulfy four times.
 
Good. I think that priestess will bring him back again but I'll be ready to kill him again. Neolani is an absolute legend. She managed to steal some type of religious artifact. Looking at it is giving me a bad feeling. That person I covered for is actually a monk named K. The scout's name was Connor. It seems like she had a troubled past a bit but is pretty sheltered. This will be fun. After looking through the telescope with the scout I got more of that bad feeling in my stomach. Mountains are covered in webs and it appears a major ice storm is incoming. We wrote to Middlefink to go back to the prince to let him know what was happening. I think we saw her running as fast as she could.
 
We started to run down the mountain. Thanks to Neolani's spells we knew they wouldn't come after us yet surely. I saw her focusing more on this "boon". I don't feel confident about it with the look in her eyes but I'm going to choose to trust her. I see a storm swirling above us when we reach the bottom of the mountain. Neolani looks to the sky, back to us, and then lifts her arm. All I know next is lighting. I see flashes of light and sinking feeling. The lighting seems to not have hurt anyone in our party but I feel amped. I could take on 100-no 200 more orcs. I feel this rage from a deity in my head. I learned that its reasonable to just go along with what the gods want so I apologize.
 
In return I see a vision of myself being devoured by spiders. Lulf and I aren't on good terms, that's fine. I'm not sure but I feel a connection to everyone else. I think we all see it but its millions of drow and orc armies invading all countries, including mine. We have to tell the prince. Now.
