That
night the air is thick with anticipation and energy. Sparruu dreams
of a sacred temple, a giant serpent, and a coming fireball from the
sky. Frothgar dreams of mighty Frimm battling snakes and worms and of
a giant hammer. Gul’Daryh homes in on the magical aura of the lake
itself, a convergence of elemental forces seems to be at its heart.
And Argus, hungry, discovers an invisible assassin poisoning the
food. Poor old Edda lies dead after tasting her own gravy.
The
assassin is tracked to the treeline where the tracks vanish. Elf
magic? Elves are known to step through the trees like stepping
through doors.
Bjorn,
the merchant, overhears the conversing heroes and offers his help.
Back at his store they learn that many items, not just gloves, tend
to become “magical” in the village. And not always in a good way.
He demonstrates a simple pick that vibrates with raw energy. He tells
of dancing spoons and floating shovels. And the man, sick it seems,
falls dead before the heroes.
What
evil is wafting from this village like a foul stench?
Later
the team goes to Blart’s abode to discuss the items they left with
him but the old wizard is gone. His wolf, Snowlope, drops a sack of
their items on the ground and says his master has gone. The sack
contains most of the things they left, sans the goddess figure and
fancy sword. A note in the bag indicates that the Shrine of Worms is
located at the bottom of the lake.
The
dwarf Silverchain, who has been watching this unfold, steps up to
offer her assistance, having a reason to desire the preservation of
the goddess shrine she believes to be located nearby…specifically
on the island at the lake’s center. She produces a small book
which, using the magic goggles acquired in the labyrinth, Quilliam is
able to read. It is a journal detailing the ritual to be enacted in
order to awaken the evil of the Shrine of Worms…and it involves the
slitting of dwarf throats!
