This time out the waste was far more successful than our others, let me start from the beginning...
There was a night where Desmond and Kalopsia both stepped out for a "walk" and I was a bit suspicious of what they were doing but also wanted to find some polestones, so I followed suit. My main intention was to look for polestones but of course in my hunting nature I ended up finding them climb out of a house together. But what was weird was that I saw the sky for the first time since I came here... and there are three moons in the sky as well. That only made me believe two things, either Kalopsia is one of the voidbringers and Desmond fell trap to their grasp or she and her group are far stronger than they let out to originally be. When I searched the space they crawled out of, it looks like they've been here multiple times... these walks weren't just walks... Man I miss the brothels... I wonder if there is module for that here. Well this place was the entrance to a bathhouse.
The bathhouse is where our journey begins.
The bathhouse was fairly empty and not really exciting, but that just means there are a lot of useful buildings around that I might start crawling into; I'll make sure to let you know how those go. Anyways, the most interesting part was the basement to the basement, weird, but there was a small crawl space that led far beyond my eyes can see; oh let me also mention that there was whole in the crawl space that had very potent acid. Hmm, I might go back there just to see if I can put the acid in a container... well first I need to figure out a container that can hold the acid without eating through it. Sorry... sorry... getting side tracked, next to the crawl space there was a large pool of murky water.
Guess what we did? You can't see me laugh but I'm smirking a bit. That was a dumb question, calculated risks is my middle name..
Something happened in this pool of water, either the pool of water was never truly a pool or the bottom of the pool collapsed several 100 feet opening a massive under water cavern. This cavern was home to a large creature who, just like us, had very limited line of sight in the murky water so it seemed fairly safe as long as we didn't keep a light source on us.
Oh... I forgot to mention, we weren't effected by the darkness in the water or underground.
As we continued exploring the underwater cavern we were pulled by an underwater current further in, it made it difficult to swim back up. So we were left with two options, continue to swim further in or try to climb a vertical wall without any equipment's to a crack opening. I'm small enough to get out but the others wouldn't have been able to, so we decided to make the cracks a bit bigger just so they can squeeze through. That made a lot of noise, so much that we attracted traveling kobolds on their mount... I made a mistake killing non hostile kobolds in the past so I decided to change my tactic, I yelled out for help to see if they would help out... but instead they decided to freaking plug the whole with a giant bolder... THEY WILL PAY.... OHHH PAY THEY WILL, MARK MY WORDS.
With that no longer being a viable exit we had no other choice but to continue in the water and hope to find an exit before we drown. Fortunately, there were several air pockets, but the current was strong and the path was long. We traveled in this underwater current for a few hours traveling anywhere between 20-40 miles per hour. From the map we got from Kalopsia, we were roughly 9 days away from the dome...
We had little to no sense of direction of where we were, mountains on one side of us and a forest to the other side... Fortunately we beat Kalopsias' group to this area and ended up running into them, and that's where the fun begins. She asked us to create a diversion in a town of kobolds so they have time to get some of their group members out and boy did we go crazy. They changed us into dinosaurs and we destroyed, killed, and looted them like there was no tomorrow.
After that was done we flew to Kalopsia ship and then returned back to the dome using their ship. After Kalopsia saved us, I gained a little trust for her but not enough, I wonder if she just returned the favor because we helped her out.
Note to self, if I am ever being hunted and I'm by the bathhouse, I know a quick way out. Also, find those kobolds who tried to leave me there to die.
I've been thinking about becoming a knight. I miss protecting you guys, maybe having something to protect again will give the drive I once had. But I'm still thinking about it, we'll see.
