Reaping at Rivers End - Conclusion Report
General Summary
EPILOGUE
"Arghh" Mortifmers disbelief coming from the knocking over of an inkwell caused by the movements of his mobile tower.
The fountain pen in his hand shimmers as it changes shape into a small drake like creature.
"Should we take a break sire?", the caligraphy drakes queries. Its diminutive size even more pronounced against that of the large dragon (despite Mortimers decrepit condition).
"Perhaps you're right, Telvok." Turning and cusping a rune laden metalic sphere Mortimer utters a few arcane words and willing his animated tower to stop.
"We only have a mile or so to go my leige" The telepathic burst responds. The tower itself a magical construct known as a nomadic tower.
"No, here is just fine. Please reconfigure so we have a roof top view platform."
And with that the tower twists and morphs blocks and timbers rearranging themselves to fit its masters command.
"Are you sure you want to do this Mortimer? Maybe the Proteans cast some sort of spell on you." Telvok queries questioning the change in the Gold Dragons demeanor.
" No magics were used my friend. They got me to see that an ending doesn't nescesarily mean my final journey to the void."
"Ahh here we are." Gazing out upon the valley ahead of them the two drakes taken in a panarma dotted by entrances to numerous burial mounds.
"I'm convinced that if anything can save my life and restore me to my destiny can be found here in the Barrowmaze."
