Episode XXIX -- A Warning Is Given

Amongst the rocks, down, deep in a crevice from which came a foul stench we came upon a dank, dark cave, littered with bones. From the back came a terrible moan. And, scuttling, a figure came forward and spoke. “I know who you are and why you are here and what will happen to you. I have been there and have come back again, ruined, destroyed and, yet, I am a lucky one. I have been left to live and warn others that they turn back and accept death in the sea rather than the horror that they will find in this land.” Our deacon came forth, spread incense and ordered offered salvation. . And, thereupon, with an axe, slew this foul thing to save its soul.

And, so we continued our quest, not knowing how much we would regret what we had done.
