The heroes equipped themselves in the greatest magical items the world has to offer.

Sarnen, the awesome, showed the group what happens when he fires his gun. They were all inspired and curious.

They load up on muskrats and head to the mine.

Prudenza opens the boards and lets Apollo go first. The crew cloes the boards, with great skill, after they enter. On the way down the passage Apollo sneaks and checks out the passages. They eventually came to a cave in. Apollo checked it out finding that it was in fact a cave in of some kind. Prudenza orders Apollo to start clearing. Apollo and the sexiest frog start digging out the cave-in. They immediately start by picking the wrong rock and Mable saves them from making a mistake. With three might stone throws, the strongest frog ever clears the cave in. Or at least makes a small hole.

Prudenza gets through the hole and starts checking out the mushroom. Apollo starts checking out the passages and the sexy frog shadows him trying to help either group. Linette starts down a tunnel of her own.

Whilst exploring the mushroom Prudenza gets attacked by a shroom that grew tentacles and got all touchy-feely. The group runs back to help, Sarnen, the steady handed, and Apollo quickly take one down. Prudenza sends her spider minions against the big mushroom she blew up earlier. Lynette sets another mushroom on fire. One mushroom slaps Prudenza whose flesh doesn’t respond well to poison on the tentacle. Another one slaps Lynette and another hits Apollo as he goes by. Lynette tries to touch the mushroom and gets slapped for her trouble. Lynette isn’t looking too good. The mushroom that Apollo went up to whiped wildly at him, but only connects with one of his four tentacles. The battle rages with Lynette being hit twice by a mushroom. The fighting ensued some more and at the end of it, Sarnen shoots a shroom that Apollo was charging, and the spiders that were on it attacked Apollo.

After the battle Prudenza eventually gets the strength back in her legs and tells Apollo to abandon some of his equipment to carry hers.

Sarnen, the sexy, went to the town hall to talk with Graydon. He asked about the kind of work this new job offer would entail and was insured no overtly evil acts would be necessarily. He then went to the Food Gatherers HQ to as usual. As he arrived in the food gatherers he noticed that some of the food gatherers were acting like they were superior or that they were in a brotherhood of secrecy from the events that took place. He also observed if someone was going to betray the secret, in which there was no indication that they would.

Meanwhile, Mable drugged her husband’s food in order to make him go to sleep. Mable’s husband was really happy to be near Mable. He also proposed to Mable to take the children out of school for the day to spend time with the Family. This was caused by the fact that Mable’s husband id believe and learned that life was too short. Mable convinces the Husband that she doesn’t think that taking the children out of school is not the best course of action. Furthermore, Mable convinces her Husband to leave being a mine guard and instead choose to become a miner.

On the other side of Town, Prudenziawas in the process of her investigation. She decided to turn herself in a magical costume of an old man and proceeded to go to bars to do an investigation. She did not unconver much information of the investation for the individual she knew as Graydon Var. She eventually went to the Courthouse.

At the Courthouse Prudencia saw Sarnen. They had a sort conversation asking about an individual known as Graydon. Saren did not have much information on Graydon.

Meanwhile, Marble Husband went to work and noticed that there was a sign for a cave in in the mines. People around town where surprised that he was alive and was not in the cave in. Some people wearing black leather came to see Jon, Marble Husband.

Marble started following the individuals that were wearing black and talking to Jon. Marble tried to follow with stealth however, she hit the mine cart and made noise, but the individuals ignored her. Individuals wearing black leather noticed Mable following them and lead Mable back to her home.

At the Courthouse, Graydon Varwas trying to construct a team known as SWORD. He tried to sell the idea to Saren, however he wanted to take the time to think about it.

He then requested the old man to show up to his door and he noticed that it was Prudenzia. He knew that Prudenzia was looking for information about him, however she was not able to find any information about him. Graydon tried to pitch the sword idea to Prudenzia where she accepted the idea of joining. He also mentioned that his name in public is John La Combe She also recommended Mable and Lynnete to join the group. Both of them joined the group.

The mission that Sword was assigned is to go to the Eastern Area of the mines which Mable knows that they are off limit. There is also a Monk that could have joined, Prudenzia din’t want to but she was conviced otherwise where his death would have been an acceptable “loss”.

Prudenzia and Lynnete went to visit Apollo in jail. There they proposed the idea that he would be free if he joined sword under the supervision and orders of Prudenzia. Apollo felt compelled as a Soldier to take the mission and follow orders.

Before, they left to the mines, they recruited Saren to join the mission and also stopped to get equipment, some of them magical before leaving.

(Characters get equipment equal to 10,500 Gold.)

Pru and Lynette are escorted by the guard from the mines and sent to clean up and be healed, then interrogated. They stick to Pru’s general story of hearing a noise and thinking it was a cave in, then going to check on Mable.

Pru’s bag was searched while she cleaned up, and was confronted with the evidence that she was lying.

Sarnen joins the other food gatherers, and is instructed not to tell anyone of the situation.

Mable convinces her husband to just have a quiet dinner at home and that she needs to go shopping, but instead runs for Lynette’s house. She spends a good amount of time at Lynette’s, avoiding her husband. On her way home, she runs into a woman who believes all the mine guard to be dead in a a cave-in.

Meanwhile, back in the courthouse, Apollo is sitting in his room. Eventually the door opens an admits the man in black, Rayon Varr. He is a senior executive of City/Sea operations. Since it’s a rule of the food gatherers that Apollo can only talk to his superior officer, Rayon fetches such. They ask for and are given the location of the Basilisk head. Xi-ling, Apollo’s master, also shows up, and informs him that he must take a vow of silence as a condition for his release. They also inform Sarnen of the situation and allow him to talk to Apollo. Apollo thanks Sarnen for his service in the fight.

With a final blow the beast fell. The group, tired and beating looked at each other. Virgil said he had to go check on his friend (Sarnen, the sexy frog) and left.

Apollo raised his sword to start dissecting the beast when Pru stopped him with a shout “What are you doing, the beast is mine!”

She started dissecting the basilisk and Apollo went looking for survivors with Mable. They ran into some miners who asked about Mable and her husband. Mable decided she should head home before anything else came up, Apollo went with her to the mine entry.

Mable headed home and noticed she was being followed by a man. She eventually confronted him and he said he was part of the mine security crew and had to escort her home. She tried to shake him but to no avail. She eventually got home and the guard left. Her husband was already there worrying about her. He talked about his renewed love for her and he’ll never be as apathetic as before. She was thrilled cough at this notion.

Meanwhile back at the cave entrance, Apollo is approached buy guards dress in all black, very organized. The leader ask Apollo some questions and Apollo started dodging them and eventually ran back in the cave to “check on” the basilisk. He got back to Pru and Lynette and told them what was going on, they decided the dissecting was over now and took random trophies/parts like the head and a claw. Then Pru and Lynette retreated into the cave and Apollo went back to the entrance.

The head guard noticed Apollo and the backpack (with the head) and started asking questions, again. Apollo avoided them and again ran back into the cave, this time to hide the head. He came back and showed the guards the body. The captain, rather annoyed at this point, asked about the missing parts and Apollo dodged as well as he could with his 17 DEX. Eventually the guard captain arrested him and sent him back to jail.

About this time Sarnen, that sexy frog everyone knows and loves, wakes up and talks with Virgil about what happened and decided to go check things out. Virgil came with, but when they noticed the amount of guards Virgil hanged back. Sarnen, he’s one bad mother, talked to the guard who tried to give him the cover story (mine collapse), but Sarnen, aaah yeah, pointed out his bow and the guard took him to be debriefed.

When last we left our heroes, Apollo was guarding the mine entrance as Sarnen and Prudenzia went to find help from Pru’s mysterious friend…

Sarnen was badly injured; uninterested in the dubious concoction Pru suggested, he decided to seek out his friend, Virgil, in the center of the city. Before he dashed off Pru pointed out the home of her friend, Mable, so he could find them after his errand. Sarnen ran to Virgil’s place and explained the scenario: A giant lizard was in the mines! As Sarnen recovered, Virgil went to fight the monster in his place.

Mable opened her door to a frantic Pru, who once more needed her guidance in the mines. Mable agreed to go, and worried about the absence of her husband. Mable gathered her trusty helmet, her headlight, and her Peatree. [Peatree is Mable’s ethereal muskrat. It is a small and transparent critter in a cage, and is essential for working in the mine. Although the mine is generally a safe place to work, the ethereal muskrats act as an early warning system: when they turn solid, the mine is no longer safe. Mable wasn’t sure what they warned about, only that solidity resulted in evacuation.] Mable and Pru waited 20 minutes for Sarnen, but then decided the situation was too dire for delay. Mable’s husband, a guard, could conceivably be headed for the mine…

Apollo gathered some brush and twigs in an effort to block off the entrance to the mine. He surveyed his work, and felt confident that no one would enter now. That task taken care of, Apollo decided to run some errands of his own so that he could better face the dread basilisk. Apollo, in need of healing, went to find Lynette, his rescuer of long ago, and to look for mirrors, knives, and rope. Lynette was alarmed at his injuries, but could offer no aid. She heard the news of the monster, and knew she was needed at the mines. As Apollo went to finish his shopping, Lynette decided to investigate.

Mable and Pru arrived at the mine entrance and were surprised to see that Apollo had vanished. They searched the ground for tracks and determined that several people had pushed aside the barrier and entered the mines. The pair initially decide to wait for strength in numbers, but their plans are dashed when Mable hears screaming from the mines. Mable enters the mines at a run, and Pru follows. Mable is horrified to find the petrified form of one of her friends, and another friend severally injured. Once more Mable’s keen ears hear screaming, but this time it is from the cave entrance; she makes out the voice of Virgil. Pru shouts back to him, and since they have worked together in the past, he joins them in the mine. They can do nothing to help Emily’s terrified friend except carry him back to the mine entrance and hide him under an overturned mine cart. Lynette arrives at this point, and is as distraught as Mable to see the fate of her townspeople. The foursome once more enter the mine, this time to slay the beast.

Following the directions of the miner, they travel west and down into the mine at a run. Mable takes a sharp turn and is immediately petrified by the basilisk. Her allies swallow their feelings and fight! Virgil throws glitterdust into the eyes of the beast, and notices a film over its eyes: he believes it is no longer capable of petrification, and it stumbles blindly. Lynette attacks, as Pru drinks a potion. Pru bombs the beast. Virgil covers it in grease, and Lynette shoots fire out of her hands to torch it. The basilisk is set aflame by their clever combination. The fight continues in the cave, with magic and bombs flying, and the foul breath of the basilisk sickens our heroes.

Apollo finishes his shopping and heads to his monastery for healing. Once he is recovered, he returns to the cave. He runs as fast as he can to where he can hear the sounds of battle.

Lynette furiously attacks the basilisk, but her companions hide and heal themselves. With only one target left, the basilisk cuts into her with his claws. Lynette loses consciousness. Suddenly, Apollo leaps into the fray. He attacks the barely upright basilisk, and slays him. Apollo apologizes for the delay.

As Apollo and Virgil bring Lynette back to consciousness, Pru bleeds the basilisk dry, collecting all of the blood she can before more is spilled onto the ground. She and Lynette coat Mable with the blood, which reverses the petrification. Pru gives Mable the rest of the blood, enough to save three more of her townspeople. The sad knowledge that so many more — at least 11 — were petrified hangs in the air. Pru tells Apollo off for leaving his post, and tells Mable that it’s his fault her people are dead. Apollo insists this is untrue.

Mable makes everyone promise not to tell anyone that she was in the mines. She doesn’t want her husband to know about it, and she doesn’t want anyone in the town to talk about her. They all agree to respect her wishes.

Sarnen Real woke up on a regular day in Elsberg. The day seemed brighter than normal; it appeared in the sea that it was going to be a “hot” day, which meant that the closest sea was in a fire plane. Saren went to the local coffee shop and bought a cup of coffee, the owner did not know how he could tolerate a cup of coffee on a warm day “must be the cold blood” the owner stated.

Sarnen proceeded to his workplace where he checks the list to see if he was going to be hunting, or more likely, training today. The list stated that because of the wall of fire there would only be training, the sexiest frog in the area proceeded to do a practice round on archery. He noticed that his aim was true and then purposefully started to miss to not draw attention into himself.

A few minutes later the sea started shifting and the fire was being replaced by stone. After that the stone started being replaced by some kind of woods. The food gatherers went into order. The food gathers organized and Saren was placed in squad 16. The food gatherers started heading to the edge of the sea.

The squads placed themselves into position and Sarnen broke the formation and threw a rock into the sea, he noticed that there was no sudden changes. The commander of the squad noticed that Saren was out of line and he went back into the line.

In the distance the group notices something in the background. A goat like animal came out of the woods, Saren’s squad started moving in when sudden a giant, many-legged lizard came out. Sammy (I believe that was his name) started to turn into stone almost immediately. Most of the squad started to run, except for Sarnen. In an attempt to rescue Sammy Sarnen yelled at him and the other two to run. After they didn’t respond Sarnen took a arrow with a string and shot Sammy in the arm and started dragging him away from the lizard. The attempt was futile. Sarnen then proceeded to run to the Commander of the operation.

One of the squad leaders was the military instructor of the food gatherer. The food gatherers were running away disorganized. Ryan “Apollo” Silverleaf tried to reorganized them, however his low leadership ability did not help much as was only able to get half a dozen soldiers to file rank. Then Apollo proceeded to calmly walk and face the giant lizard.

Apollo tried to look it dead in the eye and almost turned into stone. Meanwhile, Sarnen just got chills for looking in it in the eye.

On the way up Sarnen meet with Apollo and both tried to stop the lizard. Sarnen was skillful with the bow making multiple connections with the beast. Apollo tried to climb on top of the beast and stab it with his sword. After a short combat, both individuals were unable stop the beat.

The food gatherers managed to make a couple of good shot and one amazing shot from an individual in the celebration he look the lizard dead in the eye and turned into stone. The line collapse and the food gatherers started to run away.

Meanwhile, while all of this occurring Prudenzia Florin was in the middle of the city. She heard the individuals running way hysterically from a beast. Curious about the beat, she headed straight into the danger. Not wanting to miss anything she noticed the beast eating a food gatherer, a sexy frog shooting at the beast, and some soliders running away. One of the soldiers said “I’m sorry I have a family” and threw his bow tripping his comrade. Sarnen saw this and said under his breath “That’s strrrrrike one Willie”. Furthermore, she noticed a man with a long sword on top of the beat trying to punch his neck.

Prudenzia with her dazzling intellect diagnosed the creature as a basilisk and started to use her spell against it. Meanwhile, Sarnen tried figuring out why the crazy lady though the giant lizard was a basilisk. In the middle of the fight Sarnen was able to dodge the connecting ropes from the creature, while Prudenzia and Apollo got tangled.

Seeing Prudenzia being dragged threw the city Content Not Found: Saren shot the rope wrapped around her leg freeing her. Apollo took a while longer to get free and was dragged a little while longer before finally untangling himself. The chase of the beast started. Prudenzia using her intelligence was able to figure out where the beast was headed. Meanwhile, Sarnen was afraid of losing the beast so he climbed onto the rooftops to follow it easier. Sarnen was also yelling bloody murder warning the locals to get out of the beast’s way. Apollo was trying to use his speed to try and catch it but then he figured he was heading the wrong direction.

Sarnen yelled that the beast was heading into the mines. Quickly Apollo took the quickest route to the mines and arrived before the creature. Prudenzia was almost there. All 3 members tried to stop the creature before it entered the mines, however it got into the mines.

Apollo wanted to follow it but Prudenzia though it was better to wait, reorganize, and recruit help to navigate the mines. She knew that basilisk can see in the dark and is obvious that humans and sexy frogs can’t. Prudenzia went to get her friend to help guide the group into the mines, Sarnen went to go pick up some personal effects, and Apollo agreed to stay and guard the mine to prevent people from accidentally running into the basilisk.
