Into the Maze

* The group left town after killing the guards. They decided it was best that they just leave. Turning back to look once more at the town, Dahlia saw a crystal being attacking the town. She briefly mentioned it then had to persuade Mal that it was best just to leave as the town was full of Elder Brotherhood who deserved whatever was coming.
 
* After some days of travel, they came across a gypsy encampment at the base of the mountain. The gypsy's invited the party to stay the night and to partake of their food. They told stories of the animals in the area who were now much larger in size. It had started a few days ago, around the same time that they had left town.
 
* Alf had run off and came back with blood on him, that was not his. He would not divulge who's blood it was but he confirmed that there definitely were large animals in the area. They all drank and ate, then went to bed.
 
* The next morning, breakfast was shared with the gypsy's before the party entered the mountain entrance. Not very long after, they came upon a group of rats which Dahlia quickly dispatched.
 
* Coming to an area with an exit to the north and a blocked eastern exit, Ald scurried through the cactus that was blocking the eastern path. He came back shortly after to advise that there were red, blue and green crystals and some giant stone statues.
 
* It was decided that Dahlia and Tyrone go and check it out. Dahlia wanted to see what the green crystal would do. Dahlia hacked her way through while the rest of the party stayed back to keep watch.
 
* The area was filled with crystals, which Dahlia was able to deftly manoeuvre around. Tyrone wasn't as graceful and touched the blue crystal which did make him younger. He looked to Dahlia to ask what had happened and she explained. He then asked what would happen if he touched the green one and Dahlia advised that they would find out. With this, Tyrone touched one of the green crystals which damaged him with lightning damage but at the same time did increase his intellect. Dahlia told him to touch the blue crystal but only for a few seconds and he was able to heal himself from the damage that had just been caused.
 
* Tyrone felt great and realised that his connection to Tyrian was now gone. He wanted a weapon that Dahlia provided to him. Dahlia also touched the green crystal and felt instantly smarter.
 
* A group of giant crabs then came across the rest of the party and they were able to kill them off. One of them had burrowed its way to where Dahlia was and she was able to kill it.
 
* Dahlia continued around and found an abandoned ruined house, which was empty. Through the window, she could see some large badger's feasting on the large worms that they were digging up. The rest of the party did catch up to Dahlia.
 
* Exiting the house, Dahlia went to chip some of the green crystal and then collected it. Deciding to see what would happen if the crystal's touched, she put the blue and green crystal together. This caused a crystal being to be born which was not happy with Dahlia.
 
* At the same time, a giant ape came running into the fray. Struth, Tyrone and Mal fought with the ape while Dahlia and Tyrian fought with the crystal being. Petros cast some spells at the crystal being and did buff some of the party members.
 
* The party were able to kill the ape and crystal being but did lose Tyrone in the fight.
