You look... marbleous?

27 February 2008-

This week led to yet another weird discovery- all of us apparently had little marble-like spheres embedded in our sternums while we were unconscious (before our arrival in this area)- and things just kept getting more strange.

We pushed on into the underground temple, and arrived at a room with a stone golem on one end and an iron golem on the other- with the door we wanted in between, of course! We advanced on the stone golem, thinking that it would be easier to knock down than the iron golem, and hoping to limit our fights to us gang-tackling them one at a time. As it happened, we were just finishing off the stone golem when the iron golem got to us, but eMike forestalled most of the problem by letting him have a 9-die Stone Missile- it him him like a cannon, and that was pretty much that! Looking around, we found a crown which fit the head of the goddess statue, and we returned it, only to have her statue disappear- we imagine that it returned to the pedestal upstairs.

Once we got through the door, we entered a room with a bunch of skeletons that were quickly dispatched, then on to the "Hesper," which was apparently a large eye in a bowl of wine (where's Shrek when you need him?). Once we got it outside to the point at which we arrived, it teleported us to a small room with a sorcerer of some sort, who explained that the marbles and our being undead were a boon of sorts (the marbles seem to be soul jars of some sort), and that we should be thankful. He then left us with a bowl of other marbles that appeared to contain our souls, so we're alive again- just a bit confused. Time to rest up, shop, and move on...
