21st mesrilden

After The Islanders Lead us to what they call the Shrine of the flesh God.

we asked them some questions about the place.

it seems in reality They are all clones, Dating back to before the elders Can

remember.

up until recently babies would come from the shrine. and the islanders would take

them and raise them.

but now it seems the Shrine spits out full grown humanoids with no faces, and it

then finds a victim to kill and take on its persona

So we parked the barge a couple hundred yards from the shrine/cloning facility.

and had the Monkeys fix the damage From the crash.

During the Nights Watch Ronin , Heard and saw a Boar run across the open

ground into the Jungle.

Ronin being restless. he decided to go take a look.

30 yards from the barge he crested a hill and came face to face with 3 Very Large

Boars.

all Ronin could think of was Bacon!

so he took 2 shots with his Bow. and Hit with one.

just Pissing off the Boars.

So They charged Doing 26 damage leaving Ronin with 3hp

so he used his shield and Retreated.

getting back to the Barge where the rest of the party dispatched the Boars.

and we had a Great Breakfast.

Ronin got a few heals and the clerics rested another 4 hours.

Then we headed to the Shrine

Ronin , Thorfus, Bellisente and Lambertus

thorfus also took along the 5 Monkeys.

Reaching the Shrine/cloning facility we saw a very old Twisted Tree that seemed to

be its own forest that all grew together

Thorfus sent one monkey 60 feet up in the tree

the door in front of us seemed to have been torn open.and inside we see a 10×10

room with a bed and a lock box.

what was weird was the bed and box were bolted to the wall,

then it became obvious. this facility was on its side.

When Thorfus sent in the first Monkey. it moved in 5 feet, and stopped.

Thorfus lost vision, then the monkey turned its head,

and bolted for the inside door and Down from what we could make out, over the edge to

some kind of drop off.

immediately Ronin tied a rope to the bed and threw it over the edge, Thorfus quickly descended.

Ronin Follow quickly after. looking down what seems to be a hallway on its end,

doors on both sides staggered all the way down

We see the monkey waiting at one of the lower doors.

We descend after it. lowering the rope we come to an open door , like a platform.

Again we need 40 more feet of rope. Thorfus and Ronin attach the rope.

Thorfus starts to descend, and the water below begins to churn,

Thorfus quickly climbs back up out of reach, then he decides to go for it

tentacles lash out at Thorfus Making him loose his grip from the paralyzing Stings.

Ronin thinks good thing he has that ring.

after a few moments, thorfus doesn’t surface, Ronin decides to go in after him/

sliding half way down the rope then Jumps. aiming his sword Down towards whatever is in the water.

Ronin hits the water Hard, he feels his sword hit the monster, but it seemed to be too hard and scrapes down the side of it.

Holding his breath Ronin trys to get his bearings,

Ronin sees thorfus, and the net.

THE NET he thinks,

just as Ronin moves towards Thorfus. he sees his eyes open.

somethings not right, and then…………

Thorfus attacks using his battery powered sword. Ronin is in shock at what is

happening as Thorfus Cuts Ronin into Peices………………

as Ronin dies his thoughts turn to the Last year, and All the Great adventures he has had……………………………………..
