12/22
We head towards the castle. The door is open, the castle seems to be made of a dark shiny stone, much like an obsidian. While it is reflective, it is not as black. There are gray outlines worked into it where you would find a window. Flying on the top of it is a flag, with a falcon. In its claws are a silver rapier. The falcon is black, on a gray background. The bird looks very predatorish.
The area seems to be not as big as drake said....Along the walls there are tapestries. Most of them are of hunts; only with humans and near-humans being hunted rather than animals. We continue on and come across a poorly developed corridor.
We come to a stop as Henry is shocked at something in front of him. The creatures look much like couriers. They have inhuman speed and quickness. Damn Justin to HELL.
Many of the creatures die and Hana follows one around the corner where one said a word which rendered Hana stunned.
The fight continued, and we killed them and moved on.
After a while, we can hear an asgardian voice, male, guy apologizing for coming into an area. Henry goes after them, with Hana following. Henry and Hana get to a door. Henry opens the door. They arrive at the throne room.
On the right wall, piles of coins, art items, gemstones, weapons haphazardly tossed in piles. Tapestries depict castles overlooking forests, most of them in black stone. The air has almost a charged energy about it. there is a figure sitting in a throne at the end of the room. Very slender face, chiseled chin, eyes that reflect almost jet stones. Dressed in black clothing, silver vest. Very expensive gold crown, and a rapier. Behind the throne, there are pillars. The back two pillars are made of a silver-like metal (not mithril) and we can feel an emanation of something other-worldly from where he sits. He has almost a cruel smile across his lips.
We hear a stone shift, and the passage behind us is no longer a passage, but a wall.
Hana goes to attack the man on the throne, while Henry goes to deface the writing. After several times of being held, they realize that they needed to attack the pillars. henry was thrown through the portal between the pillars. Hana went through to get him, she came back with slightly longer ears and a slight fae appearance. She went back through to get him, Henry says that it is more difficult for him to get back. On her second trip back, she feels some resistance. After Henry gets back, we destroy the gate and begin attacking. Once we kill him he begins imploding on himself, turning into a greenish/blackish tinted aura. A mithril chain shirt, buckler, fall to the ground. A single iron band falls to the ground as well. You can feel the castle shudder.
The group with the exception of Laq and Hana leave, and Laq and Hana stay to loot as much as possible. Laq and Hana go to the lady of the lake, and the group slowly arrives after briefly thinking they are dead. The lady of the lake identifies all items.
We rest for the group to level.
