Zyanne's internal monologue part two....

In our room we rested and chatted for a while and at what we surpposed was about midnight Belgarath, Athon and I set out to the secret "meeting" with Devlins company. Belgarath going on ahead with Athon and myself trailing as silently as we could for his protection. All went reasonabley well untill we got to the room where the meeting was sposed to take place and at that point Athon tripped over his own foot and made quite a racket, The room seemed to be empty saved a piece of paper that fluttered as if from nowhere to the ground, I watched as Belgarath read the page and then continued out of my sight and down the next flight of stairs... Athon and myself made haste and got to the note which read "I said to come alone". Wether it was Athon who gave us away or not I wasnt sure but I knew I didnt trust this Devlin so we hurried after Belgarath. As we descended the stairs he had just gone down I heard a noise... errie laughter, as we rounded the corner we saw Belgarath get hit with a dart of some kind and fall to the floor... Athon charged forward to catch Belgarath and I followed cautiously, straining my eyes against the dark to try to percieve the danger. Athon grabed at Belgarath as another dart flew past his head and the eerie laughter grew to a high cackle... we ran!

I kept checking behind us but if we were being pursued I could not tell, with Athon virtually carrying Belgarath we made it across the foor we had just come and back up the stairs to what I hoped was safety.
As we reached the quarters where our party were resting it seemed that we had not been followed and Belgarath seemed to recover somewhat so we returned to our room and rested till dawn.
When we all awoke we shared with the party what had happend, Aradon flew into a rage he said because we had gone off and endangered ourselves and the party without first consulting him. but I thought it was because he had not been more suspicious of this Devlin in the first place. Anyhow the order was to kill on sight him or any member of his party we came across.

Still in a child like tantrum Aradon stomped off ahead of the party, and up the stairs to the next level, The wizards we had hired had advised that the next level was a kitchen which at this time of the morning wouldnt be manned and we could pass quite easily up to the dinning area above and there on up to Thorovans quarters.

As they had said the Kitchens were dark and quiet, Gregg and I both grabbing small morsles of food on the way past, the dinning area however we wernt so lucky and Aradon stomping up into the rrom quickly alerted the few surprised gnomes to our arrival, Delamor tried to blend in and pretend like we were also minions of Thorovan and started to give orders to the gnomes but the gnomes quickly saw through this and a short but bloody battle commensed.

All but two gnomes where distroyed but unfortunaly the two that seemed to simple dissapear into thin air escaped up to the next level and warned whoever or whatever was up their of our impending arrival.
On up the stairs we went, Aradon had calmed down enough to give the order that Thorovan was to be taking alive for interogation. The minions were reasonabley quickly disposed of and Thorovan was captured as per orders... unfortunatly he gave us very little information other than criptic reffereces to a higher evil before he activated a small explosive divice within his own head and was quickly reduced to just a ribcage.

All very gory with very little shiny to show for it but since its what the company of the purple eclipse party will's I will just have to endure and hope for shinier things ahead.

Further on up the tower we climbed, on the next level there seemed to be an old man tired up as prisoner to Thorovan, he begged us to free him said he had been kept there for days, Delamor questioned him but gained very little information, he seemed as though he didnt trust this seemingly helpless prisoner and called his bluff to reveal him to be a very large and very scary looking oni deamon who from what he said seemed to be master to Thorovan himself!!

The battle with the Oni begain....




Notes: Ended with killing Thorvan and burning daily powers.
