            Greyson used the phylactery to scry on the map for Mickey I think. It wasn’t really working. Ukab used a bowl with water in it to float the crystal and it pointed to the North East. That was led to the Isle of Liars, and went through a forest. We might be going all the way to Fort Landmilk. We took two more horses so we could each have one. I named my horse Horsie. I packed my stuff and put it on the horse. Luna got the puppies ready and set off. After two days we crossed the trail to Evelyn. We kept going and found some water and fairies. I followed the fairies because they were saying they wanted to show me something interesting, like monsters to kill. I took out my swords to be ready, and the infravision helmet on. We came to a clearing. The others were scared of it and wouldn’t go in. I kept going and was disappointed because I couldn’t see any monsters. I looked around for a secret door. I was walking around by the trees off the horse. I borrowed an axe from the cart so I could cut down a tree and see what would happen if I put it in the clearing. I hadn’t actually gone in the middle yet, because maybe there was something hiding there, and I wanted to make it come out. After chopping down the tree, I threw it in the clearing. It disappeared like it had been eaten. Greyson started to walk into the middle, but his foot was getting sucked into the muck. Then he said “Ow!” because his foot had gotten caught in something sharp. Ukab pulled him back out. Greyson foot was bleeding like a spike had stabbed him. Next I was trying to catch some of the fairies to throw into the clearing pit. Ukab was trying to shoot the fairies, but he shot me. We decided to leave that alone and started following the compass.

            After following the compass for a while we came to a tree covering a hole in the ground. We cut the tree to roll it away so we could go down into the hole. It took a whole day we were done by morning. I went to sleep. But since we had cut the wrong side the tree, we couldn’t roll it away, and would have to cut it some more. Greyson dug out the hole to make it bigger so he could fit inside it. Then he tied a rope off to something and went down. I wasn’t very interested. I took my armor off and went back to sleep. Then they woke me up and we went back to Fort Berrek. Greyson’s foot got healed. We got the cart and returned the horses. Next we had to go do what the seer wanted us to do. We went to the Shinare temple to get sword from them. Then we went to Atar. It took ten days. I asked about the arena and signed up for it while Greyson donated a sword and shield made of stone for fighting dragons to the city. I had signed up for a fight the next week. Greyson got a day pass into the city. They came and got me and then we went in.

            We walked around and saw a stable, a warehouse, the Visitor’s Center, and a bar called the Electric Death. We first went to the marketplace. Then we checked out the Electric Death. It was a nightclub kind of bar for drinking and dancing. We went in and there was a bar and grill in the middle. Gordon was the owner and Lindaraleen was the waitress. No one else was working there and there were like 400 customers. I ordered a bloody T-bone and water. We could see a fight. It only cost us one gold because we were first timers at the bar. Then we left and went elsewhere. The marketplace was very large, many miles long. We went to the Visitor’s Center and got a map. Then we went back to the market place and a Dwarven shop  for forge and supplies. Then we looked at the monster store, the Alchemy store and a bunch of other shops, but everything was very expensive. Johann sold the gloves of friction that we had and some other stuff and we got bunches of money. Then we went to the address we were given that we were supposed to go to.

            We went in and sat on some chairs and a futon. A fabulous lady came in, her name was Pelora. She said she knew the seer, or he had given some message to her to give to us. She told us all about the Mickey threat, and she talked about the last time, and this time and confusing stuff. Our next destination was Hergen Goga’s island, and our contact was Brachias. Then we went back outside. I took my name off the arena list and we camped out. Pelora was going to send us a mage to help train Greyson to become a mage. He also wanted to fix his burnt up melted looking face that he covered with bandages. She told him the names of the gods that would likely help with that and where their temples might be. We went to sleep.

            In the morning an elf woman mage came. She had aqua hair and blue eyes. Her name was Jelarin, we introduced each other. On the way to somewhere we stopped by in Aragorn. For some reason Ukab Johann wanted to go to the slave auctions to get himself a nice slave. So we went to the slave auction, and a beautiful girl with bright red hair who was 17 and a virgin was up there. The bidding for her was pretty high, but Johann wanted her badly. The price had gotten up to 4,600, which was most of our money when someone threw something at Johann. There was a guy trying to sneak attack me and I stabbed him and then I got hit by an ogre. Johann tried to hit the other guy who had thrown a knife. Johann had this cool sword that would suck the blood out of someone and he used that on the bad guy. Then Greyson helped us attack our enemies. The guy that Johann had stabbed ran around with the sword still in him, pumping his blood all over the place.

            Then the crowd turned into a mob and we were getting crushed as the bidding kept going up. There was an explosion and people started running. There was a roar from the sky and a black dragon came swooping in. We had heard that the city of Aragorn was soon going to be destroyed by the dragons of Mickey, but we had hoped we would miss it. I saw the dragon and wanted to go attack it. One of the towers was starting to fall where we were. I tried to get the people out of the way, and finally I just took out my swords and then they moved. We got out of the way just as the tower came crashing down. It had been burned by the acid of the black dragon. Everyone was running the slave Johann wanted to buy and the auctioneer, in fact, the whole platform had been smashed by the building. I tried to taunt the dragon and get its attention, so it would come closer and I could fight it. The dragon did come and shot some acid my way. Wow that stuff really stings! My armor and swords got kind of melted. I wished I had thought that out better. Maybe I should have tried to jump onto its back from somewhere up high. Then I didn’t know where I was, I had gotten lost in the chaos and confusion. I found Johann and we looked for the others by the fallen tower. Greyson used his wand of evil eradication on the dragon and it fell and landed on top of the tower. It almost fell and then landed in another place and stomped on the tower with Luna and Greyson inside. When they came out they had the slave girl Corlana. We joined back up and got back to the cart and Jelarin. They were gone. We then proceeded to leave the terrible catastrophe. Johann told the slave girl he was her master. There were more dragons coming and an evil army. There were some more buildings that were falling. We started going North to get away. Johann tried to and couldn’t break Corlana’s chains. We went to find the puppies. They were near the abandoned cart. At noon I passed out.

            I woke up some months later in Tyrluck. They told me of how they were trying to get to the island of Hergen Goga, and the portals with the goblins and how the slave girl had gotten Luna and herself raped by priests of Takhisis, and my earring of communication had been stolen. I took the earring of Luna or someone to talk to the evil guy who had stolen the earring Corlana had been using which was from me. He was patronizing to me and I was annoying to him and I was trying to get him to come and fight us so we could get it back and kill him, but he turned his side off and wouldn’t talk to me anymore. Then Greyson came back. There were some wounded and dead people from their encounter with Heirocan, and Luna wanted to go to the Mishakel temple which was a month away. Greyson didn’t want to go that far and he wanted us to finish the quest we had. He asked Jelarin the elf mage if she could make him fly to the island. She of course couldn’t do that because magic isn’t real. Then we went to a nearby town to ask where the nearest healers might be. We saw some refugees from Aragorn on the way. There was a guy among them who was a healer but since he wanted money and we didn’t really have any, he didn’t help us. It took a month to reach the Mishakel temple. Corlana and Johann were raised and Johann gave the temple some money.

            I wondered if we would ever complete our quest. If we tried to meet Mickey and kill him, we probably wouldn’t succeed according to the seer and other people. Maybe because he was undead. There would have to be some sort of thing to undue their undeadness and make them like normal people and then we might be able to kill them. But the quests to get that to happen have been so roundabout and fruitless, and then when we were supposed to get something like the weapons of destiny, they were cursed already by Fenris because he knew all about it and wanted to stop us. I wanted to just talk to these crazy guys, they seemed to only want power from the world and weren’t even happy with that. Oh well, I went back into my coma and left the quests up to the other party members.
