There is so much to think through that it is difficult to begin telling you of the events that have occurred in the last several days. I have been spending mornings watching Kurai Kabuto's runes, trying to figure out what they mean. I had accumulated 11 pages of runes, clicks, clacks and Buuzzz but had been unable to decipher them.


Just when I was ready to despair Polluelo Malvado appeared in the crowd and said:

" The ha's don't matter. The clicks and clacks tell you to move forward and backward".

She then interpreted some of what she understood Kurai Kabuto to be saying.

She said "when you say 'murder', he says 'one must seek our feeder'

After that she seemed unable or unwilling to tell us anymore. Despite my best intentions I did not have the time to decipher that day as I moved into my new larger house.

The next day I returned to Britain to find out if anyone had deciphered the messages during the night. As I was watching Kurai Kabuto, who was still clicking his messages, a young man in a green shroud ran forward breathlessly. "Please, come in to the sewer, the sewer is open, we can gate in!"

I could do nothing else but follow. I arrived with the others in a cave full of crystal elementals. The danger did not seem overly great until the spawn picked up and we were surrounded. The warriors made good work of cutting them to fragments while I kept getting messages that "object cannot be seen" as I tried to kill the crystal elementals. When I attempted to cast an Energy Vortex I would receive a message saying "this spot is blocked"
I felt like screaming!

Meanwhile the rest of the group had made their way into a larger room full of orcs of all kinds and enormous Orc Brutes. Now I not only had casting problems but I found myself unable to move freely. I decided the only use for me was to cast Greater Heal on the warriors whenever they were loosing health or poisoned. They returned the favor more than a few times. Death was upon me and my chances of survival were slim. Others had escaped from the dungeon and I joined them above ground back by Brit Bank.

As I considered my experience later it occurred to me that perhaps this dungeon was meant to take mages back to a time when their primary role was that of healer in groups. I remembered that I had a green orc mask with magical powers to make me invisible to orcs. It would take some digging, or a trip to the orc caves to find my mask.

I hope the rest of you have a chance to venture down to the sewers. They are foul, but it's a good battle to bring the orc horde under control. They come from everywhere.

Tell me, did any other mages have the same troubles as I or is my Spellbook malfunctioning? and what of the Broken Moongate? Has it lead anywhere yet? Methinks we must continue our attentions to Kurai Kabuto if we are to find Inu and solve the many mysteries that are before us.

The Best of Travels to You!
