Turn 1
Well, when I said I wanted to learn of magic, I did not expect to awaken from my sleep here.. - Emir commented, carefully looking around. Ferreolus, ignorant to whatever just happened, decides to go "talk" with the fellow knight. And with talking, he means to communicate just using gestures and facial expressions.
...I wonder if this man knows where we are? - he thought. Having awaken in a strange place, Alexandra starts to freak out at first but slowly clams down. Erin, simply being confused, tries to get his bearings.
[6] The four started to move towards the knight. First Emir, with a hand ready to draw his dagger quickly if needed. He stayed a bit back -
Better to be cautious. - he thought and remained silent, trying to determine what the knight is looking at. From this ledge, he could see forests, rocky wastelands, a mountain range and enormous glaciers far away. Ferreolus greeted the knight with a dignified bow. The crow knight stared at him, as if he was awaiting his question. Erin moved past them, up the path to the bell tower.
[5] Seeing that ferreolus couldn't properly communicate with the knight, Alexandra came closer to speak:
Sir, do you know where we are? - she asked in a shy manner. The crow knight outstretched his hand, showing her the whole land, saying:
Up the mountains! Isn't it a really pleasant view? It all looks so harmonious from high above, whereas it's a true chaos down there! - he paused. Looking at all the confused people around him, he continued:
But this doesn't answer your question at all! I believe that this mountain range is called The Weathered Teeth. I wish I could tell you more about this realm, but alas, I'm a newcomer here myself! My name is Miles, and I am the crow knight of Erdhen. It was two weeks ago that I had arrived here. A great piece of my land, along with me and my people was brought to this strange place seemingly ovenight! What's more, it seems that this whole place is a huge mosaic composing of different lands blended together! - he stopped for a moment, got up and gained possession of his axe, then said:
It was five days ago that I had decided to climb up here and see how this place looks like. Make a map. On my way to the peak, an earthquake struck and sent me plummeting down the slope! By sheer luck, I ended up on a tree that stood on the very same ledge that we are standing on right now! This was the first earthquake, and the weakest one. After taking some rest, I went up the path to the bell tower. It was empty and ruined, but the bell itself looked intact from afar. I was sure that I'm alone until I approached the tower's doorway! There was some strange and creepy presence emanating from within. It was watching my every move! I decided to leave the place immediately! This is when another earthquake striked! This one opened the way downwards to the cavern.The crow knight pointed at the path going down.
I went there immediately, seeking a way down, but there was something even scarier than the bell tower! A soul shrivelling darkness! I thought that the Rising Sun may aid me in traversing the cave, but I had lost my amulet during one of the earthquakes! I had returned and chopped down the tree with my axe, then made some improvised torches. However, the darkness in the caves was so powerful that it simply engulfed the flames! - the knight exclaimed in anger.
If you wish to come down with me, we need to find my amulet first! If only local birds spoke with a more intelligible dialect, I could've asked them to bring it back!
[1] Hardly had Erin got up to the tower when its arched door burst open and a frightening, mummified undead got out of it! The corpse in a tattered robe was weilding a sword completely eaten by rust. Staring directly at Erin with it's blank eyes, it waited until he comes any closer to the tower.
