Close Calls, Long Falls, and Icey Halls

by Kadvius Mørksverd

After searching for the beasts that attacked a caravan near Verpanis, we found ourselves at an old, abandoned fort occupied by Yetis. We challenged these Yetis and found the fight was more than we bargained for as the largest of them released a breath that froze us to the bone. Sarnath, Ethelda, and Obsimath all fell almost immediately as I flew out of the way. I grabbed Ethelda and brought her to the top of a nearby tower to transfer some of my life force to her. A long and difficult battle ensued that ended in most of the yetis lying dead. The big one slammed the ground with his massive feet with his last breath, opening a massive chasm beneath us. The entire fort fell into the chasm along with us. As we fell I grabbed Ethelda to stop her from falling, but I lost concentration as I was doing so, causing us to plummet. I soaked most of the fall for Ethelda and Obsimath did so for Sarnath so we made it down without any causalities.
 
Within the chasm we found a dilapidated chapel hidden off to the side. This was a temple of Alarima, the deity I worship. I took a moment to pray at the altar and she came to me in a vision. Within that vision we struck a bargain to break bonds with the dark force that had forced me into a deal before and I swore loyalty to her now. I would become a force of tranquility, I swore to bring peace to those around me and maintain it within myself. When I opened my she told me to play my sword upon the altar, when I did so it transformed into a blue steel blade that was always cold to the touch. This was U'kuthu, Tranquilities Edge.
