Topic: New Spores of Itanlok ~ 1 ~ A Short Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Gently..
Fler went on its way. After a few seconds, the silence returned. However, through the strong bond Gyviar had with the bat, Gyviar could feel the dismay and fear of the little creature. "Hold on", He thought. At least they would know when something dangerous would come on their way.
They kept on walking for about half an hour. The cave was a strange phenomenon. There was something both old and young about it. Ominous. All of a sudden, Gyviar felt a strong sensation in his spine. Fler had discovered something. After a few minutes, they heard the soft but distinguishable sound of the bat returning. Fler landed on Gyviars shoulder and began to shriek
"The tunnel ends about a mile up ahead", Gyviar told his companions. "And.. there seem to be people there."
They went on and after a while, they began to see the glow of the end of the tunnel. They arrived in a large cave. A quick glance revealed that the cave was completely swarmed with Ankheg, seemingly tending to strange bumps in the wall.
One of the stone bumps was right in front of them. A shock went through Gyviar when he realised that the bump was actually a Khord, imprisoned in some sort of stone cocoon. However, the Khord was still alive. Gyviar heard him muttering a few words; "Blue eye.. find.. otherhalf.." On their right hand side, there stood a single stone hand, palm upwards. "Kith-jora, what is going on here?" Gyviar asked himself, perhaps a little too loud.
He exchanged a look with his companions and then grabbed the hilt of his short sword, he gently tried to unhook the Khord from its stone prison, anxiously not to stir the Ankheg above them...

Subject: Let's go on
Almost immediately, Niaou'li joined him. "I’ll definitely help you conquer those beasts!" They were also joined by another bold looking Khord, whom Thagovan addressed as Arduin. After some healing they continued their quest in the forest.
Thagovan quickly leaded them through the maze of mushrooms. As they followed Thagovan, Gyviar noticed that the Forest was becoming more and more ... threatening. Even he had not travelled these parts before. They had to be on their guard.
After a long walk, they suddenly heard some noise in the distance; “Hey, let go of me. You beast, let me go!”. They fastened their pace and soon saw the source of the noise; a Khordaldrum man was being dragged into a strange shaped cave. They had reached the wall of the cavern.
"We go after him", Thagovan stated. The Khord called Arduin proposed that Thagovan and Gyviar went in first, covered by him and Niaou'li. Gyviar grabbed his spiked chain and whispered some enchantments over himself. "Sounds like a plan, brother". To his bat Fler he whispered; "Scout ahead, little one. But be careful."

Subject: Let's slay some more Ankheg!
"Most odd..", Gyviar replied after the child finished his story. "Why would the Ankheg do such a thing? And seemingly working together. Most odd..."
At that moment, he noticed something happening outside the Inn. Walking out of the door, he saw a heavily injured Khord walking slowly towards the Inn, carrying yet another child in his bruised arms. "Thagovan has come back!", someone said behind him.
“I need some real warriors.” The khord said. “We need to go back and slay those beasts. I need some people who know how to wield a sword. I lost ten men out there because they had never seen battle before! If there is nobody, I’ll go back by myself.”
Gyviar searched for his new companions in the crowd, made eye contact and waved his head towards the speaking Khord. He stepped forward and said: "I would sincerely be glad to help, sir"

Subject: A few questions..
Gyviar entered the room behind the bar. It was full of upset and sad people, vainly trying to easy the little children and themselves. In one of the corners, he recognised one of the children he saw when he first discovered the group with whom he was now travelling with. On a table, the two adult Khords lie. He could not do much for them at the moment...
He walked toward the child's parent, who was sitting next to the child and asked; "May I speak to him for a moment..." After that, Gyviar knelt before the bruised and wounded child and asked him;
"Hello my little friend, I must talk to you, it is very important. What had happened to you and your friends? Do you remember anything? How did you wind up on a giant mushroom, in the middle of nowhere?"
(OOC: Awaiting answers..)

Subject: Something to think about
After Berodin finished talking to the Mushroom, Niaou’li turned to Gyviar again; "Sorry for the interruption, but since you seem to be joining us, I will tell you what we are doing in the forest”. She told him everything about the things that happened before and then asked him; “Did you see anything.. odd, peculiar, out of the ordinary.. when you were wandering the forest?”
"Well, no. Nothing that could help us I guess.. " Gyviar responded. "But I noticed some strange things about this place. Next to the mushrooms of course. Ever since I've been here, I've had the feeling that, well... That the soil and rocks beneath our feet aren't as lifeless as they seem to be. First, I didn't notice anything, but after days of wandering, there grew an awareness that there's more than the eye could perceive. Like they are in a weird way "alive" or something."
”By the way, can any one of you think of a reason why the Ankhegs all brought our fellow Khords to the mushroom? The old lady at Verbyn used to tell me they usually don’t cooperate.” Niaou’li said. Gyviar had to think about that. What could be the reason for the Ankhegs to do such a thing? He'd learned about them a long time ago. But what was it again?
(OOC: Gyviar performs a knowledge nature check, this time on the behavior and habitat of Ankhegs)

Subject: Peace returns..
"Well... one way or the other, that was fun", said Gyviar, glad to have some action after all these days of solitude. He quickly wiped the last dirt, goo and biting acid of his body. Now he could think clear again, he searched his brains for knowledge about the enormous mushroom, who now was sitting on the remnants of the Ankheg. Undoubtedly having enough food for the coming century or so. (OOC: Gyviar is performing a knowledge nature check on the giant mushroom)
However, before he could find the answer to the question in his grey mass, the Khord who had saved him approached him. "What brings a brave Khord like yourself to this godforsaken place?" she said.
"Godforsaken you say? I don't think so. I love it here, don't you see the beauty of it? The mystery? The vastness? It isn't like anything I have seen before, and that is quite a statement. But probably, you, city dwellers, cannot understand. I originally come from the Warrens of Rvisthorn. But I have been travelling all the regions of Audalis for years now, and I do not remember me having a home anywhere either. I have been travelling this land for days. It attracted me to it for reasons I cannot explain. My instinct leads me to wherever I am needed. And I guess in this case, my instinct was right. "
"I noticed your group while I was travelling the land, and figured that you needed some help. So, I found a cave underneath the black goo, which leaded to the island. But halfway I bumped into the Ankheg. And well ehm, after that, my instinct kinda took over. But it worked out pretty well, if I may say so." Gyviar sighted, and touched his burned and bruised arm. He asked, "But now my friend, what about you? Tell me what kind of mess I have involved myself into this time?"
Meanwhile, one of the other Khords had walked towards the Mushroom, and started talking to it. "Well, this could be interesting..."

Subject: The pain is unbearable!
Gyviar ran towards the Ankheg, while he was starting to swing his spiked chain above his head. In a blur he past the flabbergasted Khord and with one big leap he swung his chain towards the foul beast. The inflamed weapon struck a mighty blow on the creatures leg and a piece of its hide flew away. At that moment, Gyviar realised the flaw in his plan. The black goo, which he could not identify before, seemed to be some kind of - highly flame-able - liquid. The good thing was that the goo that covered the bug caught fire and scorched it badly. The bad thing was, Gyviar himself was also completely covered with the goo. Within no-time his left arm caught fire. With a quick movement Gyviar grab his robe and tried to extinguish the fire that was spreading rapidly on his arm.
However, for that tiny second he had forgot that he was still facing the enormous Ankheg. Unfortunately, the beast had not forget him. With dazzling speed its head came down and grabbed Gyviar with its mandibles. The pain was immense. It felt like the creature was squashing him before it would swallow him up. With a big exertion, Gyviar managed to loosen its grip and he felt onto the ground again, feeling pain everywhere and still slightly on fire. “Damn, I am getting old.. “
Gyviar would love to become even a few days older, so he had to act fast now. Lying on the gound, he quickly rolled out of the creature's range, still trying to extinguish the last flames by rolling over the hard ground. All of a sudden he heard a loud unnatural voice say something and seemingly at the same time, a vast impenetrable mist was appearing out of nowhere. In no-time Gyviar could not see more than a few feet around him. Even the giant insect and the mushroom disappeared in the mist.
Right in front of him, there appeared the contour of a strange looking creature, walking right towards him. The creature did not seem to mean any harm, and as it approached, Gyviar recognised the features of one of the Khords he had seen earlier. Only now, there seemed to grow brown, 'things' out of her head. Gyviar guessed that the smack from the Ankheg had not served him well..
“What is going..” Before he could finish his sentence, she bowed over him and started to mutter strange words and sounds. All of a sudden Gyviar felt his wounds and scorched skin heal themselves. “I thank you, milady”. Gyviar stood up and wiped the last remnants of the goo and dirt of his body. Then, he grabbed his spiked chain again and stood with his back to the newcomer, ready for whatever would come next...

Subject: A discreet entry
Many days had past ever since Gyviar had spoken to any creature more intelligent than his bat Fler. Before and behind him stretched the vast and seemingly endless space of nature. Away from the so-called civilised world. He loved it. He was in his element.
For days he had been travelling through the mushroom forest now. He was not sure what his destination this time would be. He never knew, but yet he always arrived there. Day after day he wandered through this rather strange and rough scenery, however, this day was different. There was danger in the air. Not the normal, sometimes even sophisticating danger of the forest, but a more present one, like he was closing in to something. Suddenly he heard a high pitching sound and a skweek;
"Hippogriffs? What in Kith-jora's name are hippogriffs doing so far from the Chindari Plains?"
He made a quick note that he really should stop talking to himself aloud and swiftly climbed the small rock formation in front of him. At the top, he saw quite a sight to behold. Just a few hundred meters in front of him, there was an enormous black lake, with in the middle of it one of the strangest mushrooms he had ever seen. It looked like one of the giant mushrooms he had seen before, a long time ago, during his travels in the north. Yet this one was even bigger and more impressive. Not to mention the smell that come from it..
Flying above the mushroom, he could distinguish multiple people, probably Khord he thought, and some hippogriffs. They seemed to be rescuing other Khords, who, well, seemed to be stuck on the surface of this astonishing organism. It certainly looked like they could use some help.. He needed to find a way to the other side...
"You need to help me, my little friend", he whispered to his bat Fler. Almost directly, the bat flew into the air and disappeared. Only seconds later, it returned and kept hovering in front of Gyviars head. "Lead on!". The bat sped away and Gyviar followed. Years of experience on rough terrain made him quite agile on unstable ground. With small and fast steps he ran towards the spot the bat was leading him to. Suddenly Flet stopped and Gyviar could just prevent himself of falling down a gaping black hole emerging in front of him. "If this goes wrong it is your fault!" Gyviar said to the bat while he swiftly climbed downwards.
He arrived in a cave, seemingly leading towards the strange island. Everywhere around him grew small bright illuminating mushrooms which guided him the way. After a few hundred meters, his trained senses began to sense a small shiver in the rocks. Danger. Approximately 60 meters in front of him, he saw an enormous insectoid creature swarming in the cave. With a surprising speed, it was making its way upwards, probably towards the surface.
"Weeks full of nothingness and now this. These folk certainly are in big trouble..." At least they would be, if he would not interfere. Gyviar had to think fast. With one big leap he jumped of the rock he was standing on. With quick and agile movements he jumped from rock to rock. The creature did not seem to notice him. When he was almost by the creature, he grabbed his spiked chain, jumped and struck it in the thick hide of the monster, just tiny seconds before it disappeared into the black earth above them.
Then, all became black. Gyviars sense of direction told him that the creature had lost none of its momentum and sped with high speed towards the surface. It seemed to be in a hurry, not wanting to miss whatever was waiting there above them. Diner, perhaps. Wonderfully enough, the creature digged an almost perfect hole, which softened his improvised hitchhike effort. Suddenly, the monster submerged and Gyviar was launched into the air.
Completely covered in dirt, cracked rocks and squashed mushrooms, he landed on stable ground. Looking up, he saw he was only a few meters away from the party he had seen before. They did not notice him, for the creature stood now, in its full height, before them.
He stood up and cracked his aching bones. Softly his spiked chain began to glow with the fires his ancestors had carved into it.
"Just like in the old days", he thought. "Owww, this is going to be fun, mr. Ankheg"
