Dolcral's Forge

Seeing Elessar step out, Ahmok got edgy and stepped out right after him. Both get escorted to the trollish encampment. With the tension time was as if it had slowed down. A minute was as if an hour had passed. After 15 minutes or so, what seemed an eternity, we see Ahmok and Elessar coming back. A sigh of relief leaves my spine as they both come unharmed. As soon as they regained their breath all of us started questioning what happened. Elessar tells us that we will have to venture in Dolcral’s forge, the one I had found earlier, and from it recover three discs. Apparently these discs are used to forge legendary weapons. We are to recover and handover the discs in order to get the books.

As son as he says so we quickly head to the forge and start studying the door so as to open it After about four hours we find out that to open the door we have to turn the cogwheels and form the sentence “This door has been closed to keep what’s within sealed forever”. We opted to rest as we were all tired now that we knew the combination we could easily go in the day after.

I went in first totally enchanted by the awesomeness of the place. As soon as I go in the first couple of meters darkness engulfs me and I had o light a torch. Venturing further in crushed bones where crumbling under our feet the result of a battle done long before. Whilst watching the different passageways and rooms we all notice the different traps there have once been now all activated.

As we venture still on a large door closes our way. At a closer inspection though we see a crack on the upper part, that enabled us to pass through. We continue heading forth and come to junction which we recognize being the road that led to the closed door found earlier. We opt to go and open the door. So we do but in doing so we make a lot of noise. After we opened it we opt to continue on and so we do.

Down the corridor odd noises started to be heard as if chains where being dragged. Silhouettes of humans started to be seen moving slowly towards us. When near we see that they are not humans but constructs made up of a jumble of different weapons. Two of them engage me in combat. Pieces if weapons start to scatter on the floor when the creatures are hit and sparks flew with the clashing of the weapons. Concentrating on the battle, I spin round my hammer and hit the creature on its bare chest and send it scattering to pieces on the floor. Almost simultaneously Ajisha shoots and hits the other construct in an eye socket crumbling him to the ground as well.

Jarl went down on the floor and with fear in his eyes tells us that these are definitely horror constructs. We opt to go back and close the door once again so as no one to leave this place. When venturing further in we find three rooms what might have been the leader chambers. We continue on and headed to the other corridors. One of the corridors led to what might have been a presentation chamber of some sort. An altar was clearly seen at the lower end of the room. On two opposite sides we see six weapon constructs three painted black and three red. All fighting against each other, as soon as they see us however they stop, turn and head towards us menacing. They manage to pin me not allowing me to retreat. Blows where flying from every angle, as three of the constructs on me! I managed to hold on and dispatch two of them. Ajisha’s keen eye also dropped down two as her arrows hit critical places of the constructs’ body. At last we managed to dispatch them. At a high cost though as I am hurt badly.
