The Castle in the Sky

by Aella Aura

Message to Hunter:
 
Hunter - I am writing this extremely quickly using my air powers in the corner of a room.
 
I awoke to bickering - arguing about how best to get into the castle. Lir decided to consult some of their (not sure of Lir's preferred pronouns) wilderness aquantainences. One the birds did not seem too intelligent; therefore Lir contacted another of the Aves. This crow told us approximately the same information - the castle flies and there was only one way in.
 
We decided to enter the castle. Though, things can never be too easy. We were assaulted by 2 stone golems only because we did not know some sort of key phrase to have them stand down. It was a tough fight which could have ended early, as Lir suddenly remembered a spell she could have used to end the fight.
 
We move on to again see 2 storm giants asking for a phrase to pass. Luckily, Rudolph was able to reach into his memory for a name that might help "Blagothkus." I quickly yelled the name and we were able to pass. The castle rose and launched in some obscure direction at very quick pace. After the fight, we were looking for a spot rest as many of us expended our energy fighting the stone golems.
 
We searched 2 rooms to rest - one filled with sleeping wyverns and one filled with cultists. We snuck back out of those rooms quietly without causing issue. The third time was not the charm here. We came face to face with Rezmir. A fight ensued in which she was quickly bested. But was she? The fight seemed too easy. Though, there was a mask left behind, which Demeru quickly took.
 
Great time for a nice nap, but no.... A huge cloud giant approaches the room. "Now what reason do you have for running through my castle?"
