Oh. I zoned out for a little bit. Feels like I fell asleep for 41 days. Strange! And Specific!
Helga led us into a tunnel that was very dark, and said it is better to travel in this low light because things cannot see us. But my companions also cannot see. I think I see? I do not know, usually I see well in the dark so I might just be hallucinating that I still do.
I do not like this dream anymore; it is very confusing.
Helga told us not to trust her. Okay. I no longer trust Helga because I trust her when she tells me things like this! She then slipped. I did not help her up because she is untrustworthy.
We came to a large underground waterway, we are to follow it along the way it flows. However Helga von Sinnen has never come this way (or did she! She is not trustworthy! She must be lying!) so she does not know how deep it is. I used the big bone and found that it is not too deep.
They were trying to remove a glowing mushroom for light so I took some of my clothing and put it around the bone, then made sparks with my sword against the rock to create a torch. It will not last long, I think, but it should provide light for a while. Moxmen Ho punched the rock, so I gave the torch to Maximilian Griffiths, thinking this was impolite.
We walked down the river and Moxmen did get a mushroom with a rock to carry with him for light so we are very bright! Like... uh... Something very bright! As we kept going, we came across a thing - a dusk gnome - that would eat our flesh if we got too close. If they are hungry they could just ask for food.
Moxmen suggested we try to sneak by. I do not think this is something I am good at because back home I was told I glowed when using magic so being quiet was not useful. It saw us! It looked like it was going to scream and Moxmen threw a rock at the wall. Maybe at it but missed spectacularly.
The thing let out a really gross scream. I do not like it. Helga shot it immediately with a crossbow bolt and killed it at once. I helped once again, do not let anyone else say otherwise. However another gnome appeared! Maximilian and Moxmen just stood there looking at their weapons that cannot attack far away. I sent out Borimas but he missed, I told him he was embarrassing me in front of the Mixes. He apologized.
Another thing showed up down the river. It looks scarier than the gnomes. I tried magic and it tastes horrible here. Immediately my head started to hurt and my nose bled. The next while was a bit fuzzy, I do not remember. More walking down the river in the dark.
Wait a moment! Did Helga call me “little girl”? It is apparently because I am shorter. Makes sense. That does mean to her I am little, and I am a girl! So this is actually just... uh... observation!
I was not feeling very good, so Maximilian offered to give me a pig ride. Back ride? I do not remember the term. Everything is so shaky. Hard to think. In fact, I think I am confusing tenses! Did you know Elvish has Sixteen tenses? I get confused because Common has only a few. We came to a big glowing chamber where I picked a shiny flower. Maximilian asked where his flower was, so I gave him mine.
In this are there were ruins from the old world holding big cross-bows without the cross. Or the bow? As we went there was something grumbling in the dark. Moxmen found them and they sounded like they had a sore throat. It charged Moxmen with an axe.
We engaged this person in combat, but it hit Maximilian knocking out his eye! I rushed forward and used his health potion thingy. I swear that this world’s air is heavy, it’s magic is rotten. I cannot seem to do anything properly. Borimas is disoriented, my limbs do not move properly. I am afraid I am more of a weight on my companions than help.
...again.
Max stood and finished off the person. They had called the one who ran away with the crystal their master. So now we need to find where their master is. A crystal had a portal we decided to go through. And---
Well, after is a whole different story.
