I&#8217;d gotten more sleep than I usually did, and I seemed to be<br \/>\nfilled with energy. However, my good mood was soon broken when the<br \/>\nfact, that today was my clan&#8217;s monthly meeting, dawned on me. I quickly<br \/>\nchecked my green token, and the worst of my fears was confirmed: I had<br \/>\nmissed my meeting. I cursed Edrik for not waking me up sooner, and I<br \/>\nrushed off to find my clan mates. Luckily, my clan mates were still<br \/>\nhunting, and I found them all gathered in the Wurm Cave.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/stolenlogs.gif\" alt=\"Wurm Cave\" width=\"280\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>However, all was not well. The usually cheery<br \/>\nfaces of my clan mates looked serious, and some downright glum. What<br \/>\nhad happened was this: our store of wood and lumber, that we had hidden<br \/>\nin the Wurm cave, had disappeared! Someone had pilfered all the wood<br \/>\nthat we had been planning to use to build our ship, and had left us<br \/>\nwith naught but splinters. I was quite disappointed when I heard the<br \/>\nnews, for I had worked diligently to help gather the wood, but to our<br \/>\ncombined relief, the thieves had left our Arachnoid silk sails<br \/>\nuntouched. Now we will just have to gather our wood again, and hide it<br \/>\nin a more secure and secret location.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Anyhow, after we cleared out all the wurms from<br \/>\nthe the cave, we all went our separate ways, and I soon found myself<br \/>\namong a small band of exiles hunting in the Myrm Hive. We cleared out<br \/>\nthe entire Hive in no time, and took the Queen Chamber like a piece of<br \/>\ncake. I left the Myrm Hive quite contented, but on the way to town I<br \/>\nheard of trouble happening on the distant Ash Island, in the infamous<br \/>\nDark Chamber. I quickly rented a rowboat from Captain Barnak and<br \/>\npaddled my way to Ash Island. I landed on the cursed isle, and made my<br \/>\nway to the hollow tree that leads to the Dark Chamber. Within the<br \/>\nhollow was a small army of exiles, all yelling and shouting, and trying<br \/>\nto rescue their fallen comrades. Within the Dark Chamber proper was<br \/>\nwhat only could be called a massacre.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/chamass.gif\" alt=\"DC Massacre\" width=\"358\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Within the narrow corridor bodies lay strewn out<br \/>\neverywhere. Greater Wraiths, Lesser Spectres, Faithless, and Ghastly<br \/>\nPresences strode about the corridor confidently; felling exiles left<br \/>\nand right. Only the bodies of several brave exiles stood between us,<br \/>\nand the horrible hordes of undine. Progress was slow, but we did<br \/>\neventually manage to push the hordes of undine back, and rescue the<br \/>\nfallen. We then went deeper into the Dark Chamber, joined by more<br \/>\nreinforcements of exiles. However, the inner sanctums of the Dark<br \/>\nChamber were filled with even more undine than the outer passages.<br \/>\nSpawns of Greater Wraiths and invisible Ghastly Presences soon left us<br \/>\nstrewn about the floor like marbles.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/dcdead.gif\" alt=\"Dead in a Line\" width=\"334\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Luckily for us, a few of the healers managed to<br \/>\nsurvive, and one of them even managed to chain away the fallen body of<br \/>\nGurgi. With Gurgi up, it was only a matter of time before we were back<br \/>\non our feet again. We all cleared out the Dark Chamber, then headed for<br \/>\nthe Dark Temple. There, we fought through the Pentagram Room, and even<br \/>\ndispatched a Darshak Liche while we were at it. A couple of us had a<br \/>\ngood time visiting the Lava Room, and a few brave(foolish?) souls even<br \/>\nventured forth to the first circle of Abyss. Afterward, we all hunted<br \/>\non the Astral Plane, then cleared out the Dark Chamber and Dark Temple<br \/>\nagain, just for kicks. It was quite a hunt, though a bit too many<br \/>\nundine for one day, if yi ask me.<br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 110, Year 538 of the Ascendancy I awoke this morning feeling well-rested and contented.
