The Hungover Endeavorings of our Lord Fred
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 117885
|
Fred, still groggy from his draught of "Shade of the Night" realized that there was a torch conveniently anchored to a nearby wall, illuminating his little area quite effectively. His own torch? Gone. A note caught his eye, neatly rolled up and sealed with a fancy wax marking. It was right by his feet. He crouched quickly and yanked it up. Gruffly.
The wax mark contained three eyes. Three very...creepy eyes. He broke the seal and read the note, skeptically. He chuckled upon his completion. Fair enough, he mused. The mail was worth a King's fortune. He had really scored on that...score. Strange note. Strange predicament.He yawned, still in a hazy state of mind. The necromancer had certainly caught Fred off guard with his powers. Lord Fred was no simpleton. He had trained for encounters like this - had hardened his mind AND his body. He should not have so easily fell under the sages sway. But he had. He cursed in vain. Collecting himself he strode over to the wall mounted torch and attempted to remove it. In vain.By what magic he dared not ask. After several failed attempts, he made ready to simply CLEAVE the torch from its mooring. But then something caught his eye...another torch, it seemed, further down a passage. The passage was one he hadn't noticed before - and it lead away from the underground stream and the larger river it merged with at this point in the cavern."Hmmm..." He hummed."My first priority is to rescue Exotica!" He said firmly.
