The Terrible Curse of Waswalen

Returning Home and the two brothers

Sun rose the next morning our party awoke to the humming of the birds and a gentle warm breeze. As let out a yawn and a stretch and sweet scent of freshly picked berries placed in a pile. Just under the base of a tree, they made their camp.  Little purple and gold lights fluttered. As they munched down the berries the party said their goodbyes thanking the pixies for there hospitality. As they are leaving the glove they hear a sound and look back as a rainbow of fluttering shimmering lights flash threw the grove and pixie dust rain down. As the pixie wish our party a fair well the path ahead is quiet and clear as they sense nothing is ahead of them the skies are clear. It’s a beautiful day perfect for travel. You wouldn’t suspect that a terrible curse had befouled the land. After a good 2 hours, our hero’s find them selfs at the base of a mountain there is a pass that leads straight up. It is oddly quiet as they noticed an Empty camp. And horse like footprints but yet no one around Scouting ahead Lionus gives the all-clear as our party makes there way up the mountain. After a good few hours, the party reaches the summit where two brothers look to reaching out Calen knows this as statues of the two brothers welcome people to his homeland. The party decides to rest and since had not eaten since the morning when they had the berries. They munched on what was left of bread and cheese and honey and decided to look around. Besides them lay Rocky Mountain path that’s leads back down the mountain and what you see small camps and fires at the middle and base of the mountains. Calen and Dalga decide to look around and find what appears to be a door under the base of one of the brother's statutes. And strange runes seem to glow seems to be a riddle and the inscription reads. If you wish to pass threw a test of wisdom first you must solve “ what has towns but no houses rivers but no water and city’s but no people” Calen read out loud to the party ... complexed they look apron each other as Alistar goes to speak up but then goes quiet Dalga looks over the inscription. As Calen reads it out aloud again. All in deep thought as time passes slowly... “ hmmmmmm” Dalga mutters under her breath..... “ Oohhhhh a map “ Lionus exclaims as he jumps up and a great rumbling sounds let’s put as the runes glow and the door slides open. “ great thinking, “ Dalga says as patting little halfling on the back almost knocking him flying. “ let’s go in carefully, “ Celen says.  The party looking in as they step into what seems to be a dark room leading into a dark hallway they can nearly make anything... “ I got an idea “ Alistar exclaims as with a flash he cast a spell as dancing light flash out his hands and fly around the room. The party seem to notice a touch and small trail that leads to another trough down the path... 

Reaching up for the torch and Taking his Flint out of his backpack Calen sparks up the grouch lighting it up and places it on the starting of the trail. Then the trail start to blaze as fire runs down inline lighting the touch’s one by one. As lights up the path down a long and whining hallway. Leads deep into the heart of the mountains. “ this must be the safer path the pixie had told us about “ Calen let’s out “ Aye let’s go onward “ says Dalga as she takes the lead and heads down the path. An hour or maybe 2 has passed as the party continued down this path threw the mountain. Alistar whistled tune on the way down Dalga looked out it was a basic cave-like path carved by dwarfs manny years ago. The party seem to reach the end of the stairs and come into a small room and witch they noticed some light coming in. They made themselves in that. Direction and hearing slight rumble the door had opened gust of fresh air come in.  As our party steps out into the light. They find selves at the base of the mountain. On the other side, they see rather large clear felid ahead of them. large mountains in the distance.  The sun was high in the sky and there was a gentle breeze Clean let out a sigh as it felt good to back to his homeland of Ellyria. “ Long as it been since I gazed out on the beauty of Ellyria “ Calen let’s out looking over the lands “ Aye she beauty alright onward towards the city “ Dalga reply’s making haste travelling forward. The party sets out across this large field Calen takes notice of tracks that seem horse-like. Tracks and footprints seem human-like. Then aloud rumbling noise in the distance and as the dirt and rocks began to shakes. Our party quickly takes cover in some long grass nearby   As the rumbling gets closer and the ground shakes. They see a stampeding heard of dark unicorns twisted by Waswallen magic. The group lays low as they pass threw flattening anything in there path. When the coast is clear our party comes out “ It was those mad beasts that killed my wife....” Calen says out of angry. “ Come now we shall stop Waswallen and free the land of his curse soon enough, “ Dalga says to Calen as she looks onward. ... Alistar looking spooked trips over and screams out... this noise seem to draw the attention of a few of unicorns that still passing in the distance... they drawback to find our party...  “ Watch out “ calls Lionus as one the mad beast charge Dalga quickly charged into action stopping the beast from goring Calen... he quickly draws his bow firing an arrow into the beasts head as the other one charges for Alistar who just getting up from his fall... Lionus quickly leaps in onto the beasts back and grabs him by the horn pulls back causing him to ram into a tree stump... Alistar plays a  madding tune that seems to have beast I pain as he stumbles back and Dalga thrust her axes running threw the beast cutting him down... “ Sorry “ exclaims Alistar.. the party shakes there head and 

 continued forward towards the city the come across a small village it seems oddly quiet as no one around all huts and buildings is empty..” Quiet... too quiet “ Dalga says while looking around. They hear a Greek and a c***k as they encounter a group of zombies wandering aimlessly. Coming out from everywhere  “ this village must have to succumb to the curse ... “ Calen lets out .... “ this village must be cleansed “ Dalga says while gripping her axe. The group formulates an attack plain Alistar comes forward and plays a melody on his flute the Zombies seem to be entranced. All March in the one Direction. As Dalga charges forward Alistar plays an inspiring tune that seems to give the party extra spring. Lionus and Calen draw there bow and fire “ one that’s two I bet I can take out more before you, “ say Calen firing his arrows picking off the zombies. Dalga Charging into the hoard of zombies swinging her mighty axe zombies going flying as she cleaves there heads clean off there body. Before charging to the next group. Alistar pulls out his bow shots a zombie before pulling out his bow to shot down one of the zombies before playing a tune to confuse the zombies. “ 6 7 “ shouts Lionus as he is firing into the hoard  “ that makes 8 “ Calen cry’s out not noticing behind him as Lionus quickly draws his daggers and slid into action cutting down the zombie behind him. “ thanks ...”  Calen says stumbling back. Before quickly drawing his bow and firing off a shot at a flying zombie that leaps from the roof of a building. Hitting the zombie between the eyes dropping it in mid-air. “ And that makes us even, “ Calen says while smirking  Lionus disappearing into the shadows and reappearing while slicing threw 3 zombies dropping them where they stood. “ I believe that puts me ahead “ Lionus chuckles “ Don’t go getting cocky now “ Calen replies. They all regroup in the centre of the village as the zombies seem to have grown in number as they coming out of buildings and on the roofs. Towards the centre as Dalga lets out a roar and Alistar plays a tune that seems to re-energise the party. Lionus and Calen take out the zombies are leaping from the buildings and Dalga charges in strikes down zombies one by one. And Alistar plays a tune to entrance the zombies stop them in there tracks. As Lionus slips threw the shadows slicing zombie one after the other “ watch your backs “ yells Calen as he shots down the zombies coming in from the flank. Arrows flying threw heads and Dalga axe swinging and cleaving threw bodies. Alistar melody ringing threw the air. As Dusk draws and the sun sets Lionus looks out as all zombie seem to be down. Look up to Calen “ I call that draw “ Calen smirks and replies “ Aye I think so “
