Thursday
You chose: Wind Wall
Your path: Bamboo Forest (Wind Wall)
You rolled: 4
You cast a wall of howling wind directed away from yourself, the beast tries to pass through, but is tossed back with each attempt. Cautiously, you backtrack and take an alternate route. The beast's roars can be heard echoing through the maze like corridors from time to time as you sneak through. So focused were you on stealth that when you heard the "pssst!" from behind you, you nearly jump out of your scales at the sound.
"Hey, follow." The green-eyed shadow whispers to you. It fiddles with something, and suddenly there's a small glowing yellow crystal hanging from what you can now see is it's tail. "quick, quick!" it encourages as it scampers down the corridor. You follow the bobbing little light as it goes, making out the silhouette of a fae in the dim glow, whilst keeping your amulet buried in your chest so you don't give off more light. Eventually you reach a doorway and both dart inside. Leaning heavily against the door as it shuts, you slide down, collapsing in a heap there.
"You ok?" The little fae squeaks "Maybe I can help?"
You thank him and note that you're alright, albeit a little lost.
"Oh, I'm Ausket by the way. Nice tah meetcha!" He chirps.
You look the little guy over. He seems to be a very fluffy fae dragon, and appears to be adorned in colorful kite fabrics and various shiny little baubles including a makeshift glow-stone lantern affixed to his tail.
You introduce yourself and thank him.
"Ooh, ooh! since you're here, ya wanna check out the rest of the place, huh?" He pokes you as you both make your way away from the dark corridors. You figure you might as well since he seems to know his way around at the very least. Ausket beams as he takes the lead, pointing out things he found interesting as you go. He guides you up into the main chambers of an old lair, stopping momentarily to pick up a few things, and down a few paths that lead you to the heart of the wind that has been playing through most of this cavern system.
"-- And this one is one of my favorite rooms! Just jump into the wind, and 'Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!', away ya go! just, uh, look out for the rocks."
You look out over the yawning chasm. Howling wind deafens you as you look down, and you notice a few other openings dotting the walls. Looking up you see more openings, but one in particular catches your eye. Above it is a large carving of the wind flight's symbol. You point it out to Ausket.
"Ooh, that one? that'll be tricky, but it's doable... Oh, here! Maybe one of these will help." he lays out 3 items that he'd been hauling around as you had been traveling. He then turns, frames the opening you're aiming for between his claws, nods to himself and takes a running start, leaping into the swirling tempest. "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" You watch as he's sent spiraling around and up the column, and, spectacularly, right into the opening you had pointed out.
Blinking away your disbelief, you assess you options:
1.
try using the gust gatherer.
2.
try using the reedcleft resonance.
3.
try using the rubber ducky.
4.
use magic to try to counteract the wind as you fly up.
5.
try to fly through, I'm sure I'm strong enough to make it through there!
