Feldor: Traitor(s) Among Us
It is a quiet night Uldin has just finished preparing his spells for the day. The night has been uneventful. It’s a well needed rest for the previous nights events were most harrowing. Flinn and Uldin are on the night’s third watch. Flinn tells Uldin, “I wish to take a look at some of my notes, I will be return shortly.” Uldin nods as Flinn walks around the stall out of his sight.
Uldin hears a sudden scuffle and the light coming from the stalls is gone. Only a strange and evil darkness pours out from whence the light came. Screams of pain are heard from within the darkness. Uldin hears Pebble yelling out to stop Flinn. Bam Bam yells out that Flinn was the cause of this dark magic. Uldin, surprised by the events watches for any movement from the darkness. After a few more screams from the darkness, Uldin Stops a body moving out of the darkness. It is Flinn. Uldin not wishing to hurt his friend attempts to grapple with him. To Uldin’s surprise, Flinn tries to strikes at him. This doesn’t stop Uldin as he slams Flinn to the ground.
More screams come from the darkness as it starts to move out of the stalls. Uldin Soon finds himself and Flinn engulfed by the darkness. He pins Flinn down and can do nothing but ponder how this has come to pass. Suddenly he is stricken with pain. Could this have been the work of Flinn? Or is there another? He pleads with Flinn as to why he was doing all of this. Flinn only replies,” I just want to examine the Amulet.” Soon after Uldin hears a Smack, as if someone was attacking Flinn as he was pinned. It was Lidda, she seemed to see perfectly fine in the darkness. Flinn Struggles trying to free himself but Uldin does not allow it.
As this is going on Lex yells out that the darkness is moving and that it must be on something on someone’s person. Pebbles yells out that he doesn’t notice anything new on his person. With another scream of pain from Pebbles, Uldin and Lidda. Lex asks Pebbles to take a five foot step. As Pebbles does Lex yells out that is must be on Pebbles because the darkness moved as he did. In the meantime Lidda is able to knock Flinn unconscious , as Uldin feels Flinn’s body stop struggling and go limp. Uldin feels Flinn’s body shutter slightly. Lida yells out that a Demon was leaving Flinn’s body. The Demon retreats passed Pebbles, who can do nothing in his current condition to stop it. Lidda then leaves Uldin and Flinn who are now out of the darkness. Lidda helps heal Pebbles as he starts to remove items from his body. Uldin asks if anyone has rope to secure Flinn. Bam Bam, with her large great axe in hand ready to strike down Flinn, brings her rope to Uldin and helps Lex tie Flinn securely.
Pebbles continues to remove clothing as Lidda covers each piece with a blanket. Eventually the darkness is covered by the blanket and Pebbles is left half naked with only the armor he had on under his clothing. Pebbles was able to figure out what was cast upon him and knew that in about 9 minutes the spell should expire.
Once everything settles down, everyone goes about healing those who needs it. Flinn eventually regains consciousness and tell everyone that he had seen everything that was happening but had no control. It seems that the demon possessed him as the Paladin the group fought the night before fell. Uldin was relieved that it truly was not Flinn working against them. The group complete their rest and allowed Flinn to sleep and study his spells before they return to the Castle.
The Group try a door to the south, Lidda searches the area and as she enters she notices the room was similar to another room on this level. This one was full of Spider webs and a Large spider creature appears at the end of the room. It casts a web cover all around Lidda. Her nimble form does not get entangled in this trap and she quickly exits and closes the door. The group decides to leave this room for not and return if needed.
The Head down a set of stairs leading to a hallway Flooded with a dirty murky water. Little notices something suspicious in the water and enters alone to investigate. She believes them to be a trap of some kind. She avoids them at first to searches the rest of the hallway. She finds two sets of stair going down, each with a pair of doors. She finds that the water gets deeper if you go down to the doors. She also finds a pair of doors at the end of the hallway. She decides to try an disable the traps. She spends some trying to locate and identify the traps. After a time she disables them. She leads Uldin, Flinn and Lex to the doors at the end of the hallway, while Pebbles and Bam Bam stay with (the Vampire Bitch) Irena on the stairs. As Lidda opens the door. . .
