Meeting Karzoug
Notepad.png

Honeypot and Velicia cast the pass wall ritual and a hole opened up in the roof going at an angle to make ascension easier. I sneaked ahead, being able to sneak quicker than the others walk. As I emerged I was very surprised. There Karzoug himself stood looking at me, or rather the opening as he didn't see me. I continued up into the room without being noticed, but Velicia who followed behind was easily noticed. I threw my dagger and moved to the side hiding.

Ritual Pass through the ceiling into a small chamber. I sneaked up seeing Karzoug. He didn't notice me but did spot Velicia who followed behind. I threw my dagger at him hitting surprisingly easy. Velicia entered and put up her flag. Nathaniel charged Karzoug and struck him bloody. I started to hesitate. I thought that Karzoug would be a much tougher opponent. Dorothea unleashed her terrible magic while Honeypot danced. Karzoug cast a wave of thunder at Nathaniel, Velicia and Honeypot. I threw my dagger again, killing Karzoug, but there was something strange going on. He didn't just die. He was sucked away into somewhere else. I guessed that it was these other dimensions the others were talking about.

We hurriedly continued. I guessed that even if no one had heard the fight, Karzoug himself had probably been the creature that I killed and knew what had happened. He would probably send guards. We hurried on down a corridor when we heard sounds from behind. The corridor ended in a small room leading into another big room with a strange machine. It was working and somehow created strange views of another place. When looking at it I realized it wasn't another place but Xin-Shalast before the apocalypse, thousands of years ago. Karzoug's plan was to bring an army through time to conquer the world on his return. There were creatures that appeared and disappeared, working on the machine. Velicia guessed that they weren't fixed in time.

Dorothea headed on into room. With a little hesitation I followed. As soon as I was in the room I hid behind the machine and started breaking it apart. Velicia said things about how she wanted to keep that machine to open portals to other places in time. About then a big thing came off and fell into another making the part near me come to a stop. Dorothea on the other hand made her part explode. Sadly enough she was in the explosion and got hurt.

Suddenly five the creatures appeared. I attacked one killing it and hid. They turned out to be more than double of what I had first thought and they attacked Dorothea. They appeared and disappeared and making Dorothea disappear and appear near other creatures all attacking her. She took a lot of beating and in the end fell to the floor bleeding heavily. Even then they continued attacking her till she lay still, lifeless. A few also attacked Honeypot and one of them tried to attack me but missed. At the entrance in the outer room, where Nathaniel stood, another Karzoug appeared. Using magic he attacked Nathaniel and Velicia who was nearby. He missed Nathaniel but caused Velicia to loose much strength. Honeypot ran far into the machine room, amidst the creatures and sent three of them flying to the middle of the room. There Velicia caught them all in bursts of magic killing all but one. I joined Nathaniel in his fight with Karzoug getting attacked by his burning glaive but I had anticipated his attack and could avoid it. Nathaniel who had been knocked down rose and attacked him with his big two handed sword. He struck him hard and tried to force him to change position but Karzoug was most unmoving. I stabbed, and sneaked in the attack so Nathaniel could hit him hard, but Karzoug's magic had weakened him. But our attacks wore him down and as Velicia felled the last creature and tried to save Dorothea, I struck down the second Karzoug too.

We turned our attention back to the machine. As the creatures had been killed the machine had been damaged. It was slowly breaking down. The scene shown was much worse showing the apocalypse and then slowly disappeared. As I started to destroy it even more, a huge hound of Tindalos appeared and completely destroyed the machine and then quickly disappeared. Nathaniel said that they were time travelers and didn't like when others traveled in time too.

After a short rest we returned back where we had come as there were no other exits. I sneaked ahead and found that some harridans, fågelgrejer och mini-harridans were guarding further ahead. We sneaked up to the and charged them quickly killing them.

Continuing on, still with me a little ahead of the others I found two harridans standing guard in front of a pair of open doors. I attacked and killed one quickly, and hurt the other.

Honey joined in and Dorothea cast her terrible magic. Nathaniel charged it but I killed the other too.

As I did a third charged at me just barely missing with its huge sharp claws. It quickly retreated back to the door where it made it's stand.

I threw my dagger once more and hit it hard hiding behind my friends

It attacked us by growing huge spikes from the ground. I was almost impaled on one, but suspecting that they would make an area attack I avoided it.
