Meanwhile…

From Uroboro Avogadro’s Diary.

The date is blurred with a yellowish liquid.

So cold.

I have defeated death once and swore I would die only because of my age.

I hear the sound of gears and the face of the fallen knight I desecrated for benevolent purposes. He opens his eyes. A grin…

I opened my eyes. All white.

Snow! My righteous conduct has proven to aid me once more in difficult times.
I knew the place, I have been here during the campaign against the barbarians. I felt weak, the closest place I could magically teleport was Sulalim.

A page is ripped off

Damn! I was too weak, I teleported in a place unknown to me. A scene of an ettin about to eat a jungleman appeared before me. I had no choice but to kill the hungry beast.

Image

The junglemen showed gratitude by answering to my questions. A beautiful lady told me of
strange creatures coming from a nearby cave, mostly spiders who were infesting all the nearby land. Would it be possible?! Lloth’s lair which the Militia have been searching for months was possibly close! She didn’t give her hometown a name, so I could not understand where I was.

Image

I ventured in the cave, finding the first innocuous spiders wandering around the muddy cavern. strange plants and mushrooms I never saw caught my attention.

Image

Image

Image

I ventured deeply inside the cave, my blood froze. In front of me, a drow started to bluntly menacing me. I was sure that Drows could not understand human’s language from my studies at the Lycaeum. The one who was telling me to go away spoke perfectly my language. Being very weak, I knew I was in great danger. I tried to bluff while I was thinking of a way to get across without using brute force.

Image

I tried to change my form, but the drow hidden behind a rock saw my magic and looked at me with an assassin stare I will never forget. I promptly became invisible through my magic arts and morphed into a panther, escaping through the opposite end of the cave (How lucky I was to find another exit!) and proceeded east.

Image

Image

Image

May it be just an outpost of these dark creatures? These thoughts obscured my mind as I was proceeding east. Then the proof I was wrong appeared before my very feline eyes.

Image

My curiosity was stronger than my prudence. I stepped in.

Image

two drows with their fellow spiders attacked me as I stepped in! I fought for my life, feeling my knees about to collapse but at the same time so wonderfully happy for my discovery.

Image

After killing the last attacker, I went back outside regaining my original form.
What should I do? go back to Trinsic and take the merit and glory of my great discovery?
Or risk execution for what I have done? I wonder how Lord Mythus is now.
