Notes and Crap (entry sixteen)

by Eligius Yami

Alright, Novia's and the Roses got me to going after another target from the dossiers, this time being the Cu's Fist. Ichihara-Sensei had a hoot about them, let me tell you. Anyways, it seems they were out east, out in the Cu Mountains. We traveled north from the Vigilax to the Tenebriam in one of my favorite ways of transport, convoying with my boy Veldrin Omriwin! And guess what, if you thought we were gonna get ambushed by dune worms, raiders or even a devil like last time... nope! Didn't happen!
 
 
We then made it to Faltis perfectly fine, where we got our in for the Cu's Mountain. This moustachio supremo lad was none other than a Dr. Fimbleton, who was looking for ancient dwarven ruins in the Cu Mountain range. After a couple a drinks and schmoozing that his colleague is inferior to him, he agreed to guide us through the mountain ranges IF he finds the dwarven city with us. Thing is... he says it's a myth, but I'm one to please Novia, considering you have me do the impossible on the daily, who am I to say no to thine holiness?
 
-a few days later....
 
Aaaaaand turns out the Mountainhome is what the dwarven city of myth was called, and of course it was real. It was in a cave underneath a gigantic mountain, going miles underground. I swear... my head hurts writing this due to the pressures I think, as well as my sides from old mythril arrows shot from some dilapidated traps from the walls. Free mythril at the cost of my organs that healed up.... It still damn hurts.
 
The puzzles to get into the damn city was another, it was a wall with a bunch of tablets translated from dwarvish, it translated to some sort of sing song thing that I had no idea about. But this city... turns out they were isolationist, last records they told us of was vampires on the surface (Care to clarify the history of the empire then Novia, there's a fact for you!).
 
So, the king said these Cu's Fist monks, they don't know where they are... they seem like a shit ton of happy go lucky drunkards for the most part, never leaving the caves. They however will help us against them if we scratch their back, by holding back an assault of the Underdark forces. ...turns out that was a lot of them. We faced "duergar", drow, "deep gnomes" in army fashion, Solomon was manning a modified cannon of theirs that he personally upgraded. Boy that packed a punch, even more than my magics.
 
The cannon however... attracted the attention of a purple worm. A trip to the caves or desert is never complete without a worm is it? But damn, it almost killed Rad! It managed to swallow him, but we ended the thing before it digested him. It was burrowing through solid rock like it was a fox diving into snow during the winter. Not only that, it barfed up a ton of gems, didn't know that, pretty kickass. But as promised, the dwarven king gave us some sort of tracker stone used for miners to track our location as we scout the Cu's Fist Monastery when we find it. Now all we have to do is find that... that'll be fun....
 
[added note in]
 
So I had these necklaces made from gems I bought Petra and Maria from Faltis, not very well cut gems (they seemed to be unenthused when I first got them). [I had to steal them back for Gustov, this dwarven gem carver to fix up by going through their room when they weren't looking] (previous sentence crossed out). After that I had them cut into beautiful and unique necklaces, they REALLY seemed to appreciate them. Maria gave me a hug, and Petra, never seen her so blushed before. She even gave me a 10 second head start when I made a joke about the purple worm and my...... anyways, yeah, they liked them.
 
Novia, will keep you posted, and something something sarcasm something something.
