=== Day Eight, ===


I awoken feeling more powerful than ever. Two large wings sprouted out of my back. It took no time at all to get used to them, it’s like I always had them. But with my luck I am in the middle of a never ending hallway. Not really the perfect flying location.  

When we woke there no longer was any door or wall that happened to be a door. For some rezone the others came to a conclusion that the door had moved during our sleep so we set off again. I decided to go with them, after all it’s not like I have much else to do. 

After what seemed like a few hours Hugh yelled in my ear again. He spotted a door that wasn’t where we were because it had moved and only he could see it. Sure, and I don’t like treasure.
It wouldn’t have been so bad if they didn’t keep insisting that I should search a door that wasn’t even there in the first place. 
Hugh even gone so far to cast some kind of silence on the wall and then shot a arrow at it. Somehow he had the idea that when the arrow bounce off and scattered that that made it clear that there was indeed a door. As far as I know most arrows scatter against a very large solid wall. 

After a long and boring conversation I searched the wall where they kept pointing and I was right, it was indeed a wall. It seemed to be clear of traps, but then again, why would anyone trap a blank space of wall.
Hugh sure is a funny person, when I told him there wasn’t a door he got angry, when I lied and sad there was a door he got angry too. So angry indeed that he overcame his fear of walls and pushed it. He must have cast another spell without me noticing because the next thing I knew there was a door where the wall used to be. 

They both where all too keen for me to go in first, “yea people I will protect you with my big ass halfling body, don’t worry, the enemies won’t even see you behind me”. 
So I kicked down the door, the first and only thing that caught my eye was a beautiful chandelier. I flew towards it but it was too big to fit in my backpack. On the walls where many paintings, one of them fitted in my backpack. The others were too big for me. Where is Sam when u need him?   
Looking back I saw that the door that I just came trough was not at the side of the room like I would expect when I exited the side of the hallway. The door however was at the bottom of the room pointing downwards like a trapdoor. Flying in I never even saw it. 
I think tony went to inspect the paintings closer, he even wanted to see the one I just put in my backpack. There was some kind of lord on the painting. The same lord that was on the paintings on the wall that told a story of some giant battle. Remarkable about the paintings was that the amulet that was painted glowed. 

After ransacking the room Hugh found some potions, I think it was something like cat-piss or dragons slime. Not really an interesting find.  

Looking closer I saw another door in the room, silently going through it I went scouting. This place seemed to be nothing but doors. Nothing but doors and some kind of very large monster. It was roughly the size of an ogre and wearing full plated armor.   

It wasn’t long before more came, our plan to ambush him became a plan not to die by the hands of all his friends. Before we knew it we suddenly where facing three of these large monsters. Invisibly I was able to get behind one of the ogres when everything suddenly became very bring, dodging fast I was able to evade all of the fire. Looking at my party members I could see Tony controlling the pillar of flame. That backstabbing rat, birdbrain. Who does he think he’s playing with shooting at me. It’s a good thing he hit the two ogres to and that I was able to easily dodge his feeble fire or else I would have killed him. My anger rising I charged the first ogre wounding him badly. Tony made some kind of strange sigh at me, I thought he was congratulating me for being such a great warrior. That is until he shot a second pillar of flames at my face. I was only just in time to doge it. 

Out of the corner of my eye I saw another axe coming around the corner, probably from more of these ogres.  Feeling half dead I dodged my way back to the others hoping for a heal. Looking over my shoulder I saw Hugh turning in some kind of seven headed dragon filling nearly the whole hallway. 
I wonder who the dragon was trying to attack. It probably wasn’t the enemy, he didn’t even come close. Maybe there was a head in front of his face and couldn’t he see.
Tony was summoning another crocodile and I summoned a giant bee. Fierce the bee attack his enemy, stinger at the ready he lurched forward at his unexpecting pray. With a loud buzz he missed so badly that he got caught by one of the ogres axes. I’m sure the ogre never saw it coming, I’m also pretty sure he will never even know that the bee was there at all. 
But not all was lost bad, after missing everything Hugh tried to cast another spell but got distracted (probably by the six other head trying to give him tips on how to cast his spell) and ran as fast as he can to cower in the corner furthest away of the enemies. At least we got a good laugh out of it, you haven’t lived until u see a giant dragon chicken in a corner.
Following our plan I jumped trough the trapdoor and sneaked down the never-ending hallway. In the darkness I put on my invisibility ability and waited. From the door I could hear screams of what sounded like seven dragons a crocodile and a bear. I wonder who cleans up there dropping after them, how can u clean up after a dragon? If seven heads eat, do u get seven heaps?.

It wasn’t long before Tony jumped out of the door. Hugh seemed to need a bit more time, maybe he has make up his minds. This was my chance to get back at Tony for trying to kill me, but I’m way to hurt to fight at the moment. I’ll wait till he heals me first. I saw Hugh (In human form) jump in the doorway followed by two giant hands who nearly pulled him in two when they raked him back in. Oh well, you can’t have everything. I could hear him plea with his attackers while I ate my sandwich. So much for the master of the arcane powers. 
The ogres told us they were willing to let him life if Tony and I gave ourselves up and became there prisoners, “do I look like a bloody priest?”. 
Laughing I sneaked back in the shadows, leaving Tony to keep the ogres occupied. I don’t like leaving Tony and Hugh but I don’t like being a prisoner eider.

Just when things got interested, larry disappeared. Maybe his god got angry or something.
Oh no, my gem. He still got my gem.  
 
Forgetting that we where in a battle i flew back into the room where Hugh still should be. there i found him in unmoving the arms of one of the guards. Judging my chances I decided that it would be slim to say that i could take them both. Distracted by the ring on one of the guards fingers i went with them. 
 
Taking advantage of my distraction they took my gear and threw me in a cell. From one of the other cells I could hear people scream. If all prisoners are striped then they are not important to me. 
Eider i picked the lock or the door was unlocked again very soon because after a few minutes the door opened showing one of the large guards. Another guard was escorting the now awake Hugh and in frond of our group a radder weak looking human. he still had his gear on him but the guard was in my way.
arriving at a important looking room Hugh and i ware made to wait outside. It was only then that i saw that beside the two guards there was also another weak little human. it seems this place is just crawling with them. 
Minutes past and my eye cauth a money pouch on the guard in frond of it. It wasn't hard to lift it from him. I hid it in my loincloth and went looking for something els. there i saw it. A beautifully 6 feet long axe on the back of the guard. It has to be worth a small fortune. Carefully i lifted the axe only to be interrupted by a second axe that came crashing on my head. Apparently the guard behind me was able to spot me. 
Both of the guards searched me again and found my pressjus gold i just lost. I will get it back soon. looking around i could see both the guard behind me and Hugh staring at me for some rezone. The other human didn't seem interested at anything at all, i wonder if hes asleep.
 
After some loud noises from inside the room the door opened again and we where brought in. There where even more humans waiting. all of them looked kind of weak. i wonder what is with this whole weak human gardening party, maybe its de-evolution.
 
The most important looking guy promised me a 100gp if i went and take a look inside some glowing doorway. when i did however he scammed me with a gem. Why doesn't anyone carry gold these days? 
 
The scammer told us he was some immortal being and leader of a large group, if we where to help him we would get all we ever wanted. I would get the wealth of a continent. I think Hugh and two other humans would get something to do with books or some other lame think like infinite knowledge. All that's worth knowing is how much gold you got and how to increase that.
 
An argument broke out between the different groups about what this reward exactly meaned. And also when we should begin it. Hugh wanted to kill the captain that tricked us in coming here first and the two other humans wanted to start right away. In the middle of the conversation one of them grabbed me by the wing. he was waisting his time, the guards have already searched me and took my money. But it was still enoing so i gave him a friendly reminder to let me go. the moment my fist made contact we where back on the beach. 
 
The human that grabbed my wing seemed to get my message, he let go and teleported away. Hugh and the other human where yelling something about a job and where staring at the spot where the other guy disappeared. 
I think the pixy Brendal once told us about a ship that could sail us back to the city. ill go look for it after a good night sleep. 
 
A few houres later i was suddenly awoke by being teleported to a pub. The wing grabbing human and the scamming immortal (who seems to be called Asrael) where there to. After some talk he would give me a ship for use and 2500gp if i could return some item to him. All we have to do is go to some castle and get it out of the basement.
 
I also made some notes about what he wanted me to do, i might look into it if i don't find anything more interested along the way. At least were going to some more gold infested places.
 
notes:
* Psoinc feather. artifact.
* guarded in the basement of a fortress is in the material plane (whatever that may be).
* Hugh has a compass that can find the castle.
* a small hut on a island next to the fortress is entrance.
* 3 items together will bring back the true ruler of Asrael's group and dominate the world
* we have a symbol on our hand that we can call fort at will. its a flame going in a circle.
* first we have to go to a bar for some more information, bar's called "Fuck un Cow"or FUC for short.
* the intire clan knows how we look like and what were planning.
 
On the boat i see three familiar faces. The first is Hugh, the last remaining survivor of our stranded party. The second one is the wing grabbing human, i belief his name is something like Eric. The last face is from the other prisoner I met in the hallway. Hes most likely the Harry I heared about. I wonder if it is possible for them to fall overboard without any of there gold. It should be worth a try.
