Lava Walking
Posted on June 25, 2002 in UncategorizedDay 218, Year 546 of the Ascendancy
Today the healer J’nder rounded up an expedition party to explore the
mysterious Drake Den on Devil’s Island. The party consisted of Larno,
Gorvin, Fantasia, Habbakuk Lal, J’nder and myself, and we had little
difficulty dispatching the Fire Vermine and Lava Walkers which we
encountered near the Drake Den.
We entered the Drake Den by running across the
small pool of lava which surrounds the entrance to the Den. However,
upon entering the Den, we were disapointed to find that it was
completely empty, save for a scattered handful of rats.
It is quite a mystery how the Drake Den, which
once teemed with adult and baby Fire Drakes, is now almost completely
devoid of life. A single drake hasn’t been spotted in the cave in
several years.
Have all the drakes been exterminated? Or have
they moved onto to safer nesting grounds? It seems this is another of
Devil Island’s many mysteries.
