ch18

They gather the bodies of all the bogarts. It takes two sunders to burn all the bogarts “well, thanks for taking me along., Not many people can deal with me,” hope says as they leave the cave. They return to the guild and place their hands on the orb. The secretary verified that they did the quest and gave them each reward “well, as much fun as that was, I need to return home for a bit,” Hope said, shaking his hand. Then leaving

“well, I would not mind partnering with him sometime in the future,” he said “he gives me the creep,s lord,” Melody says “me too,” the others say with him, and they laugh “well, we can’t do any more quest for today that one took it out of us” the others all sigh “I was afraid you would want to take on another quest my lord,” Melody says he shakes his head “I’m not that battle obsessed… yet,” he said when the others look at him worried he laughs. “ well I like a good battle too, but I’m ssick of boggartss for now,” grinta says

They order lunch and sit at the table. “Here to a successful battle,” he says. They clink their glasses together and drink down their juice “master, I have to say without that help, I don’t think we could have done the quest, “ Kelly says, “you would be right; I’m glad I changed my mind,” he says. “I too, “ Amber says, “hay, all any have to do is tell me we’re going to be over our head, and I will listen, “ Lance says. “Well, let’s hope next time it only takes just one of us to talk you out of a given path,” Melody says firmly.
“ Hey, I’m sorry already. Let’s drop it,” he says. Everyone laughs, and they eat drink. A bard starts singing a rather lovely song. People come and go from the guild pub. “ so tell us a story from your world master” lily say “ well once open a time there once was a little girl and little boy named Hansel a Greta “ telling them the old fairy tale, then he tells them the story of Cinderella. “ ok now do you have any stories to tell me” he asks as he finishes his story “ long long ago when the world was new there were two families each with there own curse. There was the Ashland’s with the curse of blindness in their family. Every so often, one of them would be born blind. Then there were the Therans how had the curse of lameness.” Lion said pause

“ one day tired of their curse each family sends out a member to rid them of it one daughter of extreme Beauty And skill, the other one male of an amazing strang, each one has there own sets of adventures but, one day these two meet and fall in love before there curse is lifted. They vow to work together to save their families. After Jernigan together for years, they come to rescue a powerful witch trapped in stone. They free her from her prison and grant each A’s wish. “ I wish her family curse were gone,” said the man. “ I wish his family curse were gone the woman “ such grave wishes, “ said the witch, “ but can you grant them,” they both say

“ yes, but it will cost you each your life “ they both nod, giving each other the last kiss “ grant it please,” they both say firmly, and with that, the witch turns them both into a great tree, the power of their life’s forever removing the curse from there family’s” lily finishes “ that was a sad story” Lance say “ yes there are many sad stories in our world,” Melody said with a sad tone.

“ after all, we all know too well that not all stories have happy ends,” amber says after diner they retire to their joined room” the stories from my aren’t all happy endings. There are quite a few with the sad end,” he says it’s not long before dinner rolls around they eat. Then turn in for the night. Greta goes to her room. He and the others share the same room. He makes love to amber first, then melody, lily, Kelly, last is a lion and falls asleep.

He was lying on the bottom of a lake looking up at the surface of the water fish swam leisurely by him, a boat floated across the top of the lake. He spent the rest of his dream watching fish and yachts come and go across a lake, a sense of waiting for the right thing to happen the whole time.


He wakes up in the morning, and they all get dressed in Armor; they go to the bord “well, look here, another Griffen quest, “ he says “can we take it easy today, master” amber says with a mild tone “well if you want how about we do this goblin quest those will be easy” he says they nod “that should do master, we should also take that harpy quest now that we have some range fighters” kelly says firmly.

“Yeah, sure sounds like fun,” Lance Says, taking the tags down, “will take these quest,” handing the quest leaves, “sure, be careful out there,” the secretary says. They head out following the map into a forest; after getting deep into the woods, they stumble upon the goblin village, they cut down goblin after goblin and shoot down some goblins too, and with a spell, they set the town to a controlled blaze taking care not to set the forest ablaze.

Some goblins try to escape but are quickly cut down by Melody and Kelly. After baring the bodies and gathering the goblin’s treasure. The witch was not much. They head out further south to the mountains. They search the cliffs. Harpy flies down, attacking them. Lily and the lion use their arrow to pick them out of the sky. Once grounded, Lance, grinta, and Kelly set about killing the downed harpies.

After following the sighs, lily guides them successfully to the harpy roast, shatters some eggs, and kills some harpy young; by the time they finish with the harpies, it is getting relatively late. So they head back to the guild to turn in their quest and then eat a rather lovely dinner. They hit the hay after he loves Kelly, amber, Melody, lily, and lion then falls asleep.


After a dreamless sleep, he wakes up as the rooster crows. He wakes up everyone; they get dressed and join Grita at the quest board “it looks like the Griffen is still causing trouble, and it does not look like any of these fouls can take one down.” Melody says, motioning to the guildmates milling about” well, then we going to take it down, should prove to be quite the exercise, “ Lance says, cracking his knuckles “you like fighting too much, master,” lily says mildly “hay it not that I like fighting (stares of accusation)ok I like fighting, but I’m fine with it in moderation.” Lance says firmly.

They are checking in with the secretary. Taking the quest, once that finished, there is back outside. This time they’re heading into the deep forest. Once there, far into the woods, the animal sounds fill the background when hush. Tell them plainly that they are in the right place, thanks to utility and lions tracking skills. They soon find the Griffen trail. And with a short treacle on high alert, the Griffen attack from out of the forest; he acts with great speed and puts himself between his party and the creature. Claws rack against his armor. With his blade, he cuts out toward the Griffen.

The Griffen dodge what would have been a mortal blow. However, that leaves it open to grinta and Melody. With Kelly and amber chanting, with a single word from either lion or lily, it was hard to tell just from their voices the Griffen found itself wrapped in vines. It struggles, breaking free of the vines with a mighty roar. That leaves it open to all their attack; when Kelly finishes chanting, she feels power flow in his veins, and a ball of lighting crashes into the Griffen. Arrow twang into the Griffen .

It screeches and strikes. Him grinta and Melody all lay in their sticks, and soon the blood is covering the ground. The Griffen refused to go down from just thatand out with claws at both him and Melody and its beak snaps at grinta. It hits grinta armor. And cuts into his arm, and Melody dodges the hit with ease. Melody returns the attack hefting her mighty ax and then chopping into the Griffen.

Shoving aside the pain, he slices out. When he is sure his sword will land, he changes some holy magic into it; it ecks out glowing strong and carves into the Griffen, sounding it deeply. Grinta puts in her fancy footwork, not one to be left out, and with a graceful sword strike, she hits the Griffen full on. With one last attack centered on Melody, with hits full on. The Griffen falls to the ground. Kelly focuses on healing Melody.
