Journal #5

by Amity Pell

We all ran full speed out of the old village and down the hill to where the road is. Well most of us stayed at the top of the hill, but Rhogkun ran all the way down. Him and Variel got there first. There were dead people - zombies - coming out of the ground and attacking everyone! Luckily we got there soon enough to save everyone. One of them fell over onto Humplebumble, but he’s okay. Swindle said they were ash ghouls. Guess that’s why they got that dust everywhere.
 
Nobody got hurt too bad. The ghouls got us all smelly though, ugh. I used my magic to clean up me and Swindle. It’s real handy. Me and Max had a real serious talk about the possibility of mole people necromancers. You never know. Even Rhogkun said it’s possible.
 
While we were resting, he summoned a familiar! Just like that. It’s a real pretty cat, with soft fur. I pet it while he wasn’t looking. I asked him what its name was, and he just said “it’s a cat.”
Anyway, we knew the only way to keep the roads safe for everyone in the future would be to go looking for whatever was causing the ghouls to show up, so we did. We went back to the village ruins and started poking around. Variel found an old door that went into the ground, like a root cellar. And inside there was all the regular stuff you’d expect to find in such a place, but also a tunnel that led off in the darkness. Me and Prim took a look, and it led to this giant cave!
 
Everybody followed us, and the further we got in, we started to hear strange sounds in the back of our heads. Suddenly some creatures attacked us, it was the mole people! They had some kind of power that make people afraid of them. Variel said they’re a kinda fey creature that feeds on peoples fears, and they kinda spontaneously show up sometimes when really bad stuff happens. Like, if a village burns to the ground and creates a bunch of ash zombies. Also she said they’re called Meenlocks, and not mole people, but I dunno if there’s that big a difference, so I’m gonna just count that one for me and Max.
 
We decided to be extra thorough, and explored the rest of the cave. Variel said part of the thing that Meenlocks do, is they can magically create a place to live underground when they show up, which is why this not quite natural looking cavern was under the village. And I guess it cleared out enough space that it ran into something else, cause we found a place where there was a cave-in, and mixed in with the regular rocks and rubble were a bunch of crafted floor tiles.
 
Well that’s too interesting to resist, so me and Max put our backs into it, and started clearing the way. It was a lot of work! I don’t think I’ve lifted that much heavy stuff like… ever. Whew. bbut it was worth it, because on the other side was a secret ancient temple! I can’t wait to check it out.
