We found some really old looking ruins today, and while Ael and I were out gathering berries, Charlotte and Gael found a trap door that led to a cellar. Everyone was talking a lot about how to best go down there and look for supplies, but it was really boring, so I just started walking down there. Then VIRDAN of all people stopped me and insisted that he go first. While I stood on the steps to let him pass, I noticed that the cask in the back of the cellar (passed a nest of angry looking snakes) had something shiny in it. Virdan decided that he didn't want to bother the snakes, and everyone started talking again. I was about to just jump from the stairs to the cask -- I know I could have made it -- when Gael had the most fun idea yet! He made a magic floating disc in the middle of the cellar for me to jump to like a lily pad, and Ael had sent her magic floating lights down there so I could see better, and Charlotte used her magic to inspire me, and Virdan used his magic to guide me! I have never been so magiked before! It felt great. I didn't have a mirror, but I'm pretty sure I must have been glowing with a magical aurora. I was so excited about all the magic around me that it was maybe a little distracting -- because when I jumped I stumbled a little and nearly didn't make it. Maybe magic is just clumsy on me.
Anyway, I got to the cask safely and inside I found all sorts of great stuff: there were Adamantine arrows like Loc's knife, and a magical quiver for them, and nourishment and refreshment beads we can all share, and some expensive rum from for Ael and Thistle, and magical boots. When I had brought everything back to the group they agreed that I should keep the boots. The boots are so soft and comfortable and don't even make a squeak when I walk in them.
