Aldina and Xella Discover the Dark Caverns

   And introducing Aldina and Xella, a compelling duo - Gypsy and Mer - who seem to find and do the impossible in the most humblest of ways. They are often found roaming the lands together, exploring every little nick and cranny. And, yes, they get into a bit of mischief!

Aldina and Xella in the Dark Caverns.

 Aldina Gratly: "Okay, let's go to the castle first."
 Aldina Gratly: "And, then we get into the caverns."
 Xella Steward: "Caverns?"
 Aldina Gratly: "Yes! There are caverns under the castle."
 Aldina Gratly: "I found that spot a long time ago."
 Xella Steward: "Wanna first stop for sticky buns?"
 Xella Steward has some at her place.
Xella Steward: "Sticky buns first?"
Aldina Gratly: "Okies bring them!"

   So the duo stopped at the castle and stocked up on sticky buns. I might mention Xella has made sticky buns a household word in our OOC chat. She always has a smile on her young face and a plate of sticky buns for the offering.

   And they enter the dark caverns under the Elven city of Calenhad!

Xella Steward: "Spooky."
Aldina Gratly : "Okay, do you want to stick together or split up?"
Aldina Gratly:  "I say we stick together."
Xella Steward nods in agreement.
Xella Steward: "You the land cave expert."

Xella Steward: "Oh wow!"
Aldina Gratly: "Okay, don't touch anything."
Xella Steward epps and puts her hands at her side.
Aldina Gratly: "A pirates cave?"
Xella Steward: "Dead end!"

 Xella Steward: "Next cave?"
Aldina Gratly: "Ohhh dragons!"
 Xella Steward eyes widen.
 Xella Steward: "Look silver!"
 Aldina Gratly: "No, it isn't."

 Aldina Gratly: "Wow this is a place... I have not been before ....what is this!?"

 Xella Steward: "Dina, Dina, Dina," she exclaims.
 Aldina Gratly: "Yes?"
 Xella Steward: "There is a fake rock here!"
 Xella Steward: "An illusion."
 Aldina Gratly: "Oh Lord..."
 Xella Steward runs into the darkness.

   I told you!!! There they go finding the lair of the demon and the drowess and WHERE Kathena is shackled. What if they tell? Sounds like the demon needs to work a bit of demon magic and make THEM forget their discovery and QUICK!!!

 Aldina Gratly: "Hmmmm someone lives here."
 Xella Steward nods
 Xella Steward: "Coals still warm!"
 Xella Steward: "Two furs......two someones?"
 Aldina Gratly: "Do you think this a orc cave?"
 Xella Steward: "Orc!?"
 Xella Steward: "Orc are smelly. This place is not smelly."
 Xella Steward: " I wonder who lives here."
Aldina Gratly: "Oh my gods, is that someone?"

 Xella Steward: "Epp! Where?
 Aldina Gratly: "No, it's only a stone."
 Aldina Gratly's heart is pounding.
 Xella Steward lightly hits her shoulder,
 Xella Steward: "You scared me."
 Aldina Gratly: "I scared myself."
 Aldina Gratly tries to catch breath. "Oh my gods, my heart..."

 Aldina Gratly: "Come look at this Xella."
 Xella Steward comes over to her
 Aldina Gratly: "Is this not...?"
 Aldina Gratly: "I see......"
 Xella Steward eyes widen.
 Xella Steward: "I think I see it."
 Xella Steward looks at Dina wide eyed.
 Aldina Gratly: "Okay, now i am scared."
 Xella Steward: "You do remember how to get out of here..........right?"
.
 Xella Steward eyes widen.
 Xella Steward leans on the stalagmite.
 Aldina Gratly: "That just goes back to those sleeping quarters."
 Xella Steward nods,
 Xella Steward: "I feel a bit..........tired all of a sudden." (She had stepped on an energy draining trap.)
 Aldina Gratly: "I will continue."
 Xella Steward: "Okay, ill just rest here a few minutes."
 Aldina Gratly: "If you hear me scream, get out as fast as you can."

 Aldina Gratly whispers,  "Oh,  it is cold in here."
 Aldina Gratly "Oh my! Dragons!"
 Xella Steward blinks, waking up, not aware she was asleep.
 Aldina Gratly: "Come, Xella! Hurry!"
 Xella Steward: "EPP!"
 Aldina Gratly: "Xella, get up and come."
Aldina Gratly  "Come, Xella! Lets get out of here."

   And the mischievous pair escaped the dark caverns not aware they had found the lair of the Demon and the Drowess. The Demon had cast an illusion on the Gypsy so they did not see her. BUT, he knows they found the lair and he is not happy at all. It is time the Demon paid a visit to the troublesome two.
