De inleiding naar dit verhaal is vrij simpel.
Dit verhaal speelde zich af in een Dungeons and Dragons setting, en werdt door 5 spelers geschreven. Mijn taak, was het bijhouden van dit logboek. Vanuit de ogen van mijn character begint ons verhaal niet wetend welke figuren onze paden kruisen..........
(I) Damn those humans.
Waiting to put me in jail, but wondering how to do it, they stood by doing nothing but stare.
An elflike creature walked by without even noticing me, her nose high in the air.
How strange it seems to me she didn't even want to see me. As if she were used to seing one of my kind.
Sindse I'm here on thise plain, I've been looked and stared at all the time.
Minutes pass.........
The elf is out of sight, but somehow I still feel her presence. What happened.
The guard turn away from me.
A stupid goblin cought the attention of the guard.
Now lets hope I can get away before they turn back to me again.
But if you look like me, hiding is a bit difficult.
People are staring at the goblin, and then back to me as I'm trying to get out of here.
The guard are coming for me.
Panic attack.
Oh no, I didn't want to set fire to that women, it just happened.
Lucky for her the injury isn't that serious. She'll live.
I still get arrested for it.
Time flies as I try to reason with the guard without any succes.
The elf is in jail to. She seems to be arrested as well as the goblin and me.
Why would she be in jail. I didn't see her do anything. Or is she here to spy on us?
Could it be this goblin isn't that stupid afterall.
She looks at me.
"Why are you in? " She askes me.
What should I do. Maybe she's just spying on me, but what for?
Telling the truth cant hurt in this case. The guard know why they put me in here.
I tell her, I set a women on fire.
Then she askes me how I did that. ( As if that would be difficult for me. )
I show her.
The goblin screams out in pain.
It burns his skin, and the smell is unforgetable.
I didn't want to hurt him, I was just showing the elf how to make fire, but should I heal him?
What if he catches fire again. I'll try it anyway.
But before I finish my cure spell, the elf stops me.
"Do you want to kill him?" She askes me.
I can't realy make out if she just wants to know, or if she realy wants to prevent more pain to the goblin.
Shht, someone's coming.
The elf looks at the goblin who's passed out on the floor.
A woman comes up to our cell. She opens the gate and pickes up the goblin.
"Follow me." The woman says.
We end up in a room with nice candella's. So nice they attrack my atention.
So I try to lite one.
The moment the candella lites up, it hurts me so much, it knoks me off my feet.
As I try to get up again, the goblin also tries something, I can't make out what,
but one of the candella's starts to glow, and the goblin is knoked over.
While we go and sit down, the woman lite's up some candella's. Somehow the goblin looks
alright again. His burnmarks are gone in a wink. I think the candella's have something to do with it.
Do it.
The woman looks puzzeled as we don't react to her command.
We are as puzzeled as she is. What does she mean? Do what?
"Probably not experienst enough."she says.
Again we don't know what she means with that.
Could I get out of here without her knowing. She's so distrackted by the fackt we don't
know what she means.
There's only one way out of here, and she's blocking that way.
As I look at the goblin, asking myself if he or the elf know what is going on here, I notice
they have the same idea. I gues they know as much as I do.
Moments Later.
The woman gets the idea of sending us on a mision, to explore what she sould know.
Damn those humans and there stupid idea's.
(II) The Assignment of the rings.
"Look at you're ring.", the woman tells the elf.
Some magic words make a strange table and some chairs apear.
So we sit in the chairs, and somehow the symbol on the table in front of me resembles the symble on my ring.
This ring was given to me when I came to this world.
The wizard who gave it to me, told me to never take it off, unless I wanted to be ruptured
away from this existance to another.
My existance before I came here was a warm and nice fealing, but the place was all evil.
What does it all mean.
In my past I have been accused and locked up for things that seemed pretty normal to me.
I never met a judge that gave me freedom, because of the false accusations, tho they new it was.
I escaped many dungeons and prison cells sinds I came here.
But for me to escape this time, I need everyone to be distrackted. I can slowly walk trew walls, but that would be noticed now.
Suddenly a loud noise outside.
The four of us run up to see what is happening.
"Is there a carnaval in town?" The goblin askes.
The woman looks at us and tells us, this prince comes from far away.
A large number of men walk by. In the middle there are about 20 guards on horses.
The prince on an ollifaunt in these narrow streets. Its a strange sight.
"I'm Victoria" the woman says, as she turnes to us.
"No need to introduce you'reselves to me, I know your names."
It seems we are no prisoners and we never where arrested truly.
Victoria just needed us for her experiment.
In order to do so we just need more experience.
I'm was wondering why we where arrested in the first place.
Victoria suggests we go rest and gather in the morning at the mayors house.
It's late and I could use some rest, but there will be no hotel who will rent me a room.
I go to the smitty in town, who is kind enough to let me rest in his fire pit.
Instead of going to sleep, I start thinking about what happened.
Can't remember much of my youth, only that it was always hot.
Much warmer than this fire pit.
But since I'm here, this is the hottest place I found.
I don't mis home, but I miss the boiling lava for breakfast.
Somehow I must have dozed off, because suddenly the she elf opens the door from this furnis.
I chill a bit from the draft that enters."Do you know what time it is", she askes........
I tell her I must have dozed off and lost track of time.
As we reach the mayors house she looks at me, and tells me I'm lucky because the house is made
entirely out of stone. She doesn't seem to be happy about it her selve..
We stop in the middel of a big room, but there are no chairs.
The others get wooden chairs and a servant wants to seat me on a hole in the wall.
Just before I sitt down, the others start laughing.
It seems this hole is used for other things then just sitting.
The mayor introduses us to the prince, but us is ment for all hundrets of people who where drawn here
by the presence of the prince. Most of them wannabe warriors, who seek adventure and gold coin.
(III) A Prince and his quest.
He starts off his story about a long journey through the dessert, to seek a scepter, that was stolen
from his father by snakelike creatures. Its clear to us that Victoria will want us to help the prince
look for his scepter and the she elf already agrees to helping the prince without even asking the
goblin or me.
At night, when the others are going to sleep or prepare for questing, I go digging for boulders.
Most of them are not even bigger then a fist, so you can't call that boulders.
But then I find one thats big enough for my needs. "I'll keep that one.", I say to myselve, as I lay
my eyes on this beautifull round 6" rock.
I return to the tavern, where the prince and my new friends are staying. It's dark already.
I can't go in, or I'll burn down the place. Everyone inside is already asleep, so I sleep outside
on my little boulder.
The next morning, they wake me up. Outside the village, even more ollifaunts are waiting
where most of the rangers and other archers and even the wizards are posted on.
I wouldn't climb on there even if the animal was fireproof.
Some of the other adventurers already scooped out. We started this journey
with about 120 men, but even before we come to the forest, where the snakes aperently live or gather,
we lost some men by sneak attacking snakes. Others run off fearing to become the next victom.
I'm not afraid of these snakes. Theire poison can't harm me, even if they do want
to kill themselves while trying to bite me.
When we enter the forest, there are no more then 80 men left.
The she elf notices the silence in this forest, as unnatural as it is.
No birds, nor animals. Not even snakes.
We search the forest for a week, without seeing any animals.
Somewhere in the forest was a big tree with elvish markings, but we couldn't find
anything that would lead to the snakes at that time. Now we return to that tree.
It's the only unnatural thing in this forest.
Once we return there, somehow I lose my little boulder in a hole.
I want to look for my boulder, but the she elf has another plan. Without telling me she throws
me up in the air. Strange enough I land on a platform in the tree.
"Are you drunk to throw me into a tree???"
Up here there are almost the same markings as where on the foot of the tree, except that one is
glowing. When I push on the glowing mark, I'm falling down again.
I don't crush down, but float in the air. I gues the goblin is behind that, because he waves his hands in
a strange way at me.
With a final wave he puts me back on the ground again.
We're still no further.
When I start pushing other markings on the tree, suddenly my little boulder falls on my head.
How strange is that. It fell into a hole in the ground and ended up faling down from a tree?
But when I try to pick up my boulder, it falls down another hole. This time I follow it down.
I end up in a tunnel that leads under the tree. Somehow I fall into a cave.
