As Nathaniel and I were talking to the people we had liberated, telling them of our heroic adventures, Velicia came to us and asked Nathaniel to fight a harpy for her. Apparently she had tried to talk to them but they had challenged her to a duel. Nathaniel fought the harpy and soon won. Then it told us about their master living in the last tower. It was an insane mummy teaching unarmed fighting styles. Velicia and Honeypot was very impressed wanted to talk to it, but was dissuaded by the harpies. I wonder what's happening to them. They want to serve evil mummies and ride evil shadow wyverns.

Nathaniel and I returned to trying to arrange for all the people to return home. The giants offered us to use their giant mammoth.

Late afternoon we reached Sandpoint. I've always thought of me as a visitor to Sandpoint but now it felt like coming home. I got my old room at the rusty dragon and had a good dinner there, letting Kaven rest.

The next day we went to the glassworks and down to the old rooms we had searched a year ago. It looked just as we had left it. We looked at the stairs that had caved in. They were far within the complex and the stones and dirt would have to be carried a long way through the corridors. Nathaniel suggested that we dig a hole straight down from above. He counted paces and returned up. He concluded we would have to dig up the square outside the garrison.

After a steady lunch we started hiring workers for the dig. It took the rest of the day just to hire people enough for the work and then no one of them were miners. The next day we started early. Nathaniel told everyone what to do as he worked hard digging himself. I didn't put as much effort into it as he did and I felt more tired than he looked after a whole day of work. That night I went to bed early and slept hard, but early the next morning I was woken by a rumble as the earth shook. There was an earthquake. I ran outside and towards our dig. I was afraid that our hole had collapsed and all work had been for naught. I got there almost at the same time as Nathaniel riding Shadowmane. We saw that the garrison had a gaping hole as a wall had collapsed and fell into our dig. Luckily there were no dangerous prisoners. Carefully we climbed down to look at the damage to our work. Some of the parts we had searched though a year ago had been blocked, but the stairs we were trying to dig out had been freed. We returned up and Nathaniel said that it was time to explore the new parts. I suggested we should contact the others. He took out his new dwarven stone and talked to Velicia who had the other. Her and Honeypot soon stepped through the portal in the cellar of Brodert Quink and joined us. His house was now dangerously close to the crater-like hole. Nathaniel took some of the supports laying nearby and put in his magical haversack.

Together Nathaniel, Honeypot, Velicia and I climbed all the way down to the now cleared stairs. We continued down to a round room at the bottom. There were no obvious exits, but I easily spotted a strange part of the wall. It was an illusion hiding a door.

Dense fog beyond, drifting. Sometimes you get a glimpse of room beyond

We enter through small rubble tunnel

Find writings on the wall

To make sure we won't get lost I write too.

Someone angry for writing on wall

Turns out X is author. X asks about world outside.

We ask him.

Questions.

Where is the key to Runeforge?

"FOOL! The writings are the key! You will have must die!"

Nell kastar hund, gömmer sig. X anfaller V och gömmer sig, Nath samlar ihop hundarna. V anfaller dem, Nell bloody pathar dem och smiter ut i korridoren. X anfaller Nell -Aj! och Nell och V slår på honom så han blir vimmelkantig. V slår honom & Nell skickar ut honom till Nath

Hundar stormar Nell och V. Den biter omkull, V telpar ut och drar till sig hundarna

Hell ställer sig upp med skorna och hjular ut i rummet, men missar kastet på en hund.

Slinker vidare och nitar X som får så ont att han smiter.

jag kastar massor av knivar och sänker en hund och skadar två andra, de försöker dra sig undan och slås ned av Nath och H

Vi vilar och jag skriver på väggen mellan X's text "Pelor spöar lätt Lamashtu"
