Log the Fifthteenth - Kenby Worthington III
We spent the night resting an' planning our rescue of the village chief's son. Lucky wen' up to the village to scout it out and reported back with the location of the town guards. We got near the village when the good Captain Bonny done turn us all invisible. We grabbed onto Ohgosh and then flew over to the temple. While waiting for the others to come over, we noticed a cage behind the temple that appeared to hold some sort of dog faced creature. Me an' Lucky went down and contacted the son, telling him to remain quiet while we cut the ropes. Somebody must have coughed over on the other side of the cage, but the son helped us by blocking the guards from our view. Once we had the ropes cut, Ohgosh came over & bent the bamboo bars of the cage. The son ran out and Ohgosh grabbed him and flew off with us clinging to his legs. Now keep in mind that all of us were invisible except for the son. How the sight of a dog flying away must have appeared to the villagers, and how would the guards explain it? We all met up in the forest and returned the son to the village of Mutos.
The next morning we left for the secret entrance to Mhoab's lair. The stench of the feces of a carnivore was almost overwhelming, but there were no conclusive tracks to and from the cave. We followed the walls, some of them appearing like the holes in Jee-to's socks with more rats than one cat could eat in a lifetime crawling through them. We came on a cavern with a large hole, but decided to explore all of the caves before we went down. Lucky entered a room just a short ways from the hole when he was accosted by some large two-headed giant. Two more appeared in the room, one of them obviously a female and the other must have been a child of some sorts. The female went and grabbed the mistress. Seeing the mistress in distress caused me to snap, to lose it. Two blows later, the female relaxed her grip on the mistress after falling in a pool of her own blood. I turned my attention to the male who seemed to be fixed on Spako, our orcish companion. One solid blow from the sword must have hit his sweet spot as all his organs done spilled all over the ground. I looked at the remaining two-headed giant and told him he would be
joining what I guessed were his parents.
Unfortunately before I could land the killing blow, the good Captain Bonny killed him with his hellbolts.
The fumes from the giant's feces must have done turned Lucky's mind as he decided to take a swim in their watering hole. He came back out, but he didn't look so good. Jee-to done said he would have to examine him more after some rest.
Finding no other passages, we went back to the hole. Now the fumes must have overcome the Captain as he went and pushed the mistress down the hole, although he did whisper a few words as he did so. Evidently she must have landed fine, although Lucky did drop a dagger after her (the hilt of it glowed good). Soon after the dagger hit ground, Mistress let out a scream. I tossed Ohgosh a rope as the rest of us dived down the hole (the hole was too big for him). Whatever the Captain whispered must have made us fall as light as a feather. At the bottom, we could see Mistress being accosted by two poisonous vipers of the species Agkistrodon halys. One had already been killed but I saved Mistress from the other. She's gonna owe me one for saving her life twice in one day. We had evidently landed in their lair as the bones of their prey were strewn all over the floor.
A small narrow passage went off to the side, and Mistress was nowhere to be found. Evidently she went down the passage, so we followed her. A swift moving stream about 15 feet deep and 10ft wide was blocking our way. I drank a potion that allowed me to cling to the ceiling while holding onto Mistresses whip. All of the crew except the captain and Jee-to swung across using the whip. Now the combined scent of two-headed giant & snake feces as well as the sight of fresh,swiftly moving water must have gotten to Jee-to's head as well. He went and tried to jump the stream and missed the whip completely, falling into the water. If it wasn't for the extremely strong current, we might have been able to save him as well. Hopefully his body will wash up somewhere, preferably not in someone's water supply. Realising we had lost our only healer, I carried the Captain over as we didn't know how long I could be able to cling to the walls. What are we going to do now? Maybe we could seek redemption of his death in dedicating the recovery of the treasure of Yarash to Jee-to's memory.
Now where do we find another healer? Even more important, who's going to replace him as quartermaster on the ship? All this and more in next week's episode.
