We began our perillous journey on the path heading southwest of Homare moongate, down a worn, dusty path. The snow was still thick on the ground, giving the area a bright glow.
Onwards Covian heroes!Twas quite scenic, but we'd have no time to admire it's beauty on this trip. Our destination, according to the map piece found in the Dojo a few evenings ago, was a long abandoned mine, crawling with members of a strange cult of some sort....
They obviously didn't care for visitors, for no sooner had we started our journey, we were assaulted by some of these cultish warriors! Nothing our band of hardy guardsmen couldn't handle though, and we were soon pressing on...
After a brief pep talk on how we were to handle ourselves inside, we entered....
A couple of sentries posted at the door spotted us immediatly, and attacked at once! We stood firm, and soon had them eating dirt.
As we proceeded deeper still, these cultists started using dirty tricks, even a few of them disguising themselves as harmless birds!
Bird my foot! *Stamps*Not ones to be easily fooled, we slayed the bugger, let that be a lesson to them!
The sheer amount of these bastards was astounding, with not even a second passing where we wern't assaulted from all sides! Covian training, and a healthy dose of swagger saw us through, and we continued our search....
The carnage!Suddenly, something glinting in the corner of one of the crevices caught watchman Eves eye, and i ordered her to stow it in her pack, for we were in no position to examine it where we were! With our search successful, we retreated slowly and steadily, the full force of the evil buggers on our tails! A few times they did attempt to halt us with nasty spells that made it impossible to walk, but to no avail. We managed a steady retreat and made our way home, where we examined our prize...
Mysterious indeed....Over 40,000 gold coins were gathered, distributed between the attending guardsmen, and by avatar, they earned it! Our mission a resounding success, I dismissed the Guardsmen, saluting them proudly. An excellent job all round folks, keep up the fine work.
