The Temple in The Swamps

by Antronidas Decker

Today me and Narrakas met three new adventurers in Larunor. Orla, Thorgrim and Kaldh. We found a couple of quests up on the notice board in the town center and decided it be best if we travelled together.
Outside Larunor we encounter Randall and his posse again. We saved him and the cult's children from the cult itself and offered salvation that was gratefully received by the cult's members. The woods a tad more singed after the purge but it was all for the greater good.
Further into the forest we found the village that contained the person we needed to talk for one of our quests, the "mayor" as he entitled himself told us the direction of the temple where we were to search for a family heirloom, an amulet. This swamp village looked like a pile of garbage at best, but i guess it has served it purpose at some time in the past.
After some scrambling through the forest we found a worn down drawbridge that led into the temple. During our traverse Orla lost foothold and fell into the moat surrounding the structure. This awoken some swarms of poisonous snakes, i took a couple of hits and experienced a pain most wrenching, but we all survived in the end.
My new friends proved their worth in combat with great valor, these are heroes i can continue my saga with. Or so i thought, inside we found a couple of chambers. In one of them there was an immense amount of treasures, i wasn't sure about the validity of what we saw, but it sure did not bother Thorgrim and Kaldh. They filled their pockets full with loot not even concerning there might be something awry. I tought they looked a little reduced after they were done looting.
In the second chamber we found a pedestal with a chest on it and a giant spider was lurking in the corner of the roof. After a fiery opening a battle occured with the foul beast. In the corridor towards the third chamber we cleared the four rats that blocked our path, the fight was swift and relentless. This corridor led us into a room with a stone throne containing a ghoul, we reigned holy fire upon from afar and ended his existence before he could reach us. And in the last chamber we met the self announced king of swamp temple. A low-life goblin that thought himself king of the Bullywags in this kingdom. After some minor injuries he fled the scene and we got the amulet.
Back in the city the mayor revealed that he'd lost our cart with ores and that he owes some people in Larunor money, we threatened him into a deal that gave us a new carriage and some gold, along with the enchanted amulet.
Kaldh wished to become the new mayor of this rundown swamptown. It was aweful here, never coming back.
Learned a lot though. This adventure was okay.
