Okay wow now heres an interesting one. So theres this old man who came into camp while we were having a chat. Hes quite old but smart too and we were talking to him and stuff. He knew that me and Cirion wern't natvie to the Sundren area. Knew that by our accents? or lack of accents? Something like that. Hes quite interesting to talk to and I end up telling him a bit about my past and how I became to be a druid and came to be here in Sundren too. Seemed genuinely interested too. The fellow, oh right Avanthyr is his name but he goes by Avvy, runs a museum with stuff from Sundrens history or past and stuff like that. Knowing the past is a good thing I think, though I dont know lots about Sundrens since I havnt been here for a really long time.
So Avvy had found this map of a man who had been friends of Mundus, you know the guy the hands are named after. Apparently it leads to these ruins. Ilefarn ruins apparently, and I had to ask a bit about them, the Ilefarn was an ancient empire that existed a long long time ago. He says hes too old to go tromping around for relics from the past but would love to find out where the ruins is located and offered to pay some money. After telling us the general location we went looking. Lets see there was myself and about 5 others.
We went looking in the area and had an unfortunate run in with some lizard folk. We were looking and we got attacked a few times. I had to help the ones I was with and we fought well. As we looked around some more one of their leaders or shamans wanted to talk. He told us to leave and that if we found the ruins it would bring more pink skins to cause trouble. I tried my best to negotiate and talk peace to him, but Im affraid I just am not good at those sorts of things. They ended up attacking us again and we had a big mean battle. I didnt want to look for the ruins any more at that point for causing trouble with them, but trouble had already been caused and there wasnt much to do except find the ruins. We found them.
Had to dig the entrance open, the entire structure was buried by earth except for a little bit of stone archway which is how we found it. There was lots of digging and eventually we went inside the incredibly old old ancient structure. Once inside there was this black shadow ghost thingy, (not to be mistaken with a big blackish purpleish ghostly looking shadowy thing) This was just black and ghostly. It told us that we should leave and that nothing awaited us here but pain and death and various stuff like that. Once we attempted to open the door after much talking and decisions to finally enter, two statues on either side sprang to life and attacked us! They were like statues, or golems from what they told me, made out of old dried clay. They were pretty tough but some good old dire panther clawing and biting did the trick. Oh and that was me doing that in case you didnt guess.
So anyways we explored deeper inside and got attacked by this metal looking statue, er, golem with a big ol sword for an arm! That one was pretty mean but not quite as tough for us to fight as the first two together. Then going in deeper we ran into two GIANT metal golem monstrosities! Pandemonium ensued after that and there was running and fighting all over and I found that I could do only so much against one as a panther. Two of our number had fallen already as it was and I had to make a retreat after finally defeating one of them with help. We were wounded battered and the other golem was barely even damaged. This is important because its the first time ive done something increadibly neat.
To understand this you must understand that I am part of the whitepaw tribe, lead by chief mittens who has currently disapeard for some reason. She was able to call the great tree spirit and take its form to do battle. I have tried to become like her almost ever since I came to sundren. Well as the battle apeard to be almost lost I called for the help of the tree spirit crying WAR TREE! And it happened, I took the tree form and did battle with the last golem. It was a very hard fight but I manage to best it in nearly single combat. One of my companions attacked it from behind but only helped to distract it occasionally. I was very tired after that and we all took a rest, fortunately no one died but just got severely wounded.
After we proceeded farther we found a room with 4 more of those metal golem monsters. They blocked the room after making a horrible metal on metal racket. A couple tried running past them before they got into defesive position and they got whacked. After they got in their protective stance we decided to leave and tell Avvy everything that happened. The interesting thing is that once we got back and I was telling him everything that he said. "What you actually went inside the ruins?" Heh so the whole time he only wanted us to find the entrance but not go inside. He had forgot to tell us that or how dangerous it would probably be, but thats what you get when you go in old Ilefarn ruins that havnt been entered in hundreds of years or more.
Where are they you ask? Tsk tsk, you'll have to ask Avvy for that information.
