Chapter 17

     The next morning, we went to visit Dyson for any useful information regarding the elves and horseman. During our way to his tower, we passed three stones in the center of the village carved with an unknown language. Ryotine was the only one who could read it. She decided to stay behind to analyze the meaning of the carvings while we continued to visit Dyson.

     After chatting with Dyson, it seems that he too doesn't know the reason behind these attacks. He then gave us a look of the map surrounding Ossington. That's the most he could do for us. At least we have some idea where to look for now. We discussed briefly and chose to visit the silence keepers first as it is the closest to Ossington. Ryotine reunited with us shortly and told us about the carvings. It's a spell that transform small animals to human. Is that the reason why there are no animals around Ossington? Are all the villagers a creation of the spell?!

     Anyway, the Silence Keepers was a boring place. It has five standing stones with a flat round stone fallen in between. After Faeron and Ryotine touched the stone, they seemed to remembered something. We then proceeded to the great barrow. At the great barrow's west entrance, we found a Druidic carvings which reads, "Miastar and Saithnar, the last defenders." This great barrow must be a tomb for them. We entered it and found a secret door which leads deeper into the barrow.

     We found ourselves in a series of circular passageways. Through some thinking and courage, we were able to pass a few traps with minimal damage and finally encountered an earth elemental creature followed by an air elemental creature. At one point we got separated by a trap door, only me and Rohan passed the trap door. We continued walking to look for a way to undo the trap. After a while, we undid the trap and regrouped with the rest. As we reach closer to the end of the circular passageways, the temperature gradually increased. At the end of the passageways, we found a room with fire elemental creature in it and a staircase that leads down. Just how big is this barrow?
