16 Fish and A Mango

We set out from our camp outside the Wyrmwood. We seem to be going a bit in circles through the woods. there was that weird roaring chipmunk though. But, this is the Wyrmwood, the place where dragon hatchings live and learn. I expect suck a place would have some weirdness to it.
 
Eventually, we reach the tower leaking demon ickor. It is surrounded by a mote, as well as local wildlife mutated by the ickor. The mutated crabs don not seem to like magic, as they have targeted Greg and I after we used magic to attack.
 
After defeating the demons, we investigated the broken pipe that is leaking ickor into the mote surrounding the tower. It appears that the magic barrier surrounding the tower is very deteriorated. And likely, there will be more leak within. We will have to deal with the source of the demon stuff to solve this.
 
My good friend, and fellow crystal hunter, Cyan, made an appearance just before we entered the tower. Of course, she brought vodka to share. She tells us that a settlement just north of the Wyrmwood has been reporting demon sightings, which is why she is here. Its a good thing that she is here. With the demon ickor leaking, the extra help is probably going to be helpful.
 
The interior of the building is in a major state of decay. Half of the interior walls are collapsed. The pipes in the ceiling are completely destroyed, leaking demon ickor. According to Daerlin, the main control unit to shut everything down is upstairs.The second floor is overrun with demons. We made short work of them. Though the demons on the 3rd floor proved to be a bit more of a challenge as Kai'Lai went up ahead of the party alone. I followed of course to be sure of her safety, which turned out to be a good thing as there were three large creatures contaminated by the leaking demon ickor. I took quite a few hits from them, and the plant fiend ate me. That was certainly not a pleasent experience. Though we did find some interesting magic items.
 
After clearing the tower of demon creatures, we then set to fixing and cleaning the tower of demon ickor. It is a slow process, especially the exterior of the tower, as I had to wade through the mote to cleanse it. At least this tower should not cause any more problems for the wyrmwood. After cleansing the mote, Sherridan touches me, and a weird feeling flows over me, and am dragged upstairs back to the control room. A strange foreign voice starts speaking to me in my head, the others called her Ki'va. It is very strange to hear another in my head. Apparently, we are going to try and free her? I am not sure what exactly is going on. There are too many unknowns, and no certainty as to what she is, if she is even a she. Ashe is unsure of this situation.
 
The weird chipmunk turned out to be the adult dragon watching over the Wyrmwood. (totally called it) His name is Yndriess. He was very much enjoying messing with us. He leads us out of the woods safely to New Illios. I lead the party to the closest inn that looks decent. Much to Daerlin's discontent, it has an onsen, I can't bring myself to care though, I just want to relax, and sleep.
