We must be getting close! We followed tracks in the snow and found a bunch of orcs. My sword can do more than I thought. I shouted the words on it to give the orcs a scare and it went crazy, tearing into them even more savagely than before. Very nice. Mithinu seemed to go berserk, casting spells like I've never seen. I think she hates orcs more than I do.
They started disappearing, we all went after them. The worst it could do is send us back to the lich's place,eh. It was another invisible mountain. I got to the top first. There was a stone chair in an alcove at the top. Hmmm, Shaundakul's Chair maybe? After a few minutes of looking around( and a few trying to throw themselves over the edge), Lief and Evan started staring at a point about ten feet out toward the west. Mithinu jumped off the edge(again!) and disappeared. I thought this must be it and dived over. This had to be the magical lift! Eventually everyone joined us.
The lift took us down into the mountain. Grimmerfang, at last! We started in, and got attacked by ogres! Before we could destroy them, a mind blaster stepped up and said we could just go. Pavel and Kelestri thought that it was the other one's brother. A good deal, either way.
Evan must have got inspired, we seemed to be wrapped in Selune's power for an hour or so. It was sort of like a cocoon of protection. When we came to this black water Evan called on Selune to let us walk on it. It was awesome! That was when the fun ended.
We walked around the bends in the caves and passed two bridges. We entered a huge cavern and as we looked around something big sped towards us.
A DRAGON! A big, black, hissing, roaring dragon. I don't really know what happened, I couldn't hit the thing to save my life. It got me a few times, shades, did that hurt. I got up next to it but it's scales were just to tough. I saw a flash, then a blast of lightning, and then it was over. It sank beneath the water.
Then we saw the treasure. A lot of treasure. Piles and piles of treasure.
We still have work yet to do.
