Wanted to write this down to try and sort my thoughts.
After Cleis (quite generously) began to offer the crowd his money, we left towards the billowing smoke coming from the north side of town. It turned out to be some kind of forge, but on a bigger level than I'd ever seen before. I'm not sure what kinds of metal things you'd need that much forge to make, unless their making weapons and armor for things even bigger than me...
We made our way to the beaches outside of town, a fair bit of a walk. From there Woodsworth created another ground room for me to wait in, as he did on the island, while they would wait to treat for Fae's friend. I must say it's much better without the blue fog in it. I took off my armor and took a nice nap - the first time I have rested in a bed for longer than a few winks since we left Alia.
Woodsworth woke me up in plenty of time and from there it was a lot of sitting and waiting. I was ready to spring into action the moment I heard the keyword, but now that I think about it, we never came up with a keyword to signal me. Hmmmm.
Anyway, a few hours later I could hear Woodsworth casting some kind of spell, and shortly after a group of people coming by to talk to them. They seemed hostile but I didn't want to make the situation worse by jumping out before the keyword. That was until I heard someone warn Woodsworth not to cast another spell, which he promptly did. That second spell was probably the keyword.
I slammed out of the ground as fast as I could and began to battle with these cloaked figures who had already gotten a few good hits of Fae. I could also see another person, an otter, fighting with us. I assumed that was Fae's friend as I rushed across the battlefield to assist. We managed to take care of the first group and began to make our way over to the other half of the party fighting Woodsworth.
At someone point Cleis and J'ack must have made it to the fight because I could see them doing battle across the sands, clashing with a group of more seasoned looking fighters. I didn't see exactly what happened but somehow the bunny, who was probably the leader of the group, charged and grabbed Cleis. I ran over as fast as I could to help and began to fight with him.
Even though we managed to knock him to the ground, something happened that the bird was doing that caused him to almost heal completely, like what Woodsworth could do but even more dramatically. He swung at me with a rage I hadn't seen from anyone but one of my clan. I had no choice but to strike him down, and go for a finishing blow. It was then I heard the bird cry out to stop and ask for "Mercy."
With that, the fighters seemed restrained enough to let us pass. I had heard someone say they were monster hunters. If they were real monster hunters, maybe they could help with the island instead of attacking innocent people. I dropped the skull of that metal beast from the facility as proof but, who knows what they will do with it.
Woodsworth had deployed(?) the magic boat, allowing us to get away as the bunny came to and began to attack us, even in his wounded state. My muscles were on fire and my lungs ached, but we managed to row out and find a way in the middle of the night to the ocean. I'm not sure what happens now, but they are saying that bunny was a saint. What does this mean for us, that we drew blades with a saint? What does this mean for me?
