- Retelling
- With a couple of horses to tow our new carts
Our party departed from dear Rampart
The going was smooth and without event
We shared future plans as we set up our tents
Vale dreamed of portals and leaving this plane
Juniper sought new shores and her origins explained
Fenn felt chaffed by and wished to flee Ramparts walls
Selene would just follow him when Fenn was called
Mugs had once longed for her haunts and her cards
But no longer felt certain they deserved her regard
Lyrad seemed quiet happy in her favored terrain
In fact that seemed the only thing to be on her brain
The group ate Juniberries for their nutrition
And that left us in a satiated condition
Runery helped setup our camp and her tent
And then off to bed the party soon went
And so went our journey for six days and nights
While looming, a tower, grew larger in sight
Not much happened to us that is worth of note
But here are some things that down I had wrote
Mugs had decided to grind up a shard
And we all heard the blast when the attempt failed hard
Rys ate a mana shard to gauge the effect
Which mostly just left his whole mouth quite a wreck
Juniper summoned Phylis, a joyous dryad
But to our conversations, she had little to add
Though to Rys' delight, this flowery friend
Seemed to relish his many haikus to no end
Juniper sacrificed many life roots
As part of her potion crafting pursuits
She also kept practicing her displacer form
And soon it felt to her like a new norm
One night we saw dragons or something bat-like
Heading towards the towers, which gave us a fright
We found some tracks of a south-going bunch
'Twas Algus' group was our later-confirmed hunch
At last we arrived at the large, looming tower
And there we found Motorcar gathering his power
Atop a large column he wove wicked magic
And we found Algus' group met an end that was tragic
We tied up our steeds and parked our two carts
And prepped for battle as we stilled our hearts
We swapped some spells to enhance fighting skills
And Runery told us the Commissar we shan't kill
Will launched an arrow and again her aim was true
Hoj's firebolt went wide and shouted "That's just to warn you"
Juniper and Mugs charged without even a warning
And so we entered battle on this fateful morning
