| The Bitter Fight |
|
The battle began with a strange mixture of elation followed by bone chilling fear. We thought at first we had found the Mind Flayers, but we found that their mind tricks may go further than I had at least thought.
The moment I saw the "Mind Flayers" I became enraged. I had seen the trolls and thralls that they used like puppets for their own purposes, and a holy fire burned from within. My father was right, I should have been a paladin.
With great courage, the party and I descended upon the "Mind Flayers" and found them to be some sort of illusion. The real enemy was a gigantic Iron Golem, made invisible by some witchery. Tenedos used his genius like mind to contrive a plan that would render the monster visible to us. He threw some sort of magical powder upon the beast, a substance he called "Flower", though there was nothing "Flowery" about it. The thick white powder covered the previously invisible monster
A vicious battle ensued as we baited the monster into a low ceilinged tunnel. Finally, after taking serious damage from our collective weaponry, an arrow pierced its inner workings and the machine ground to a halt.
Or victory was punctuated by the discovery and rescue of a thrall that had somehow regained his senses. By his look he seems to be a knight. |
