Aug 22, Year of the Tusk, Myth Drannor, Jarial's Boulder, 7:00 PM

This morning, we went through the Door of the Living. Upon entering, we were insantly attacked by Orcs. Well, at least it wasn't *shudder* zombies. We went further, until the path divided. We took the east-ish path, which revealed the ruins of a great underground city. We were in the Great Hall, or at least what used to be the Great Hall. There was a creepy feeling about that place. I can't describe the strange creepy feeling in that hall. Well, actually, I can if you've read Lord of the Rings. Because that place reminded me of the book's description of the Mines of Moria...creepy....
Well, anyways, we went down a narrow side path, where we were attacked by a couple of skeletons. I thought this was supposed to be the Door of the LIVING! Well, Kalia taught them a lesson in pain, and we moved on. We found a 'village square' type thing. Also, about eight or nine Orcs found US. It was a very fierce battle. But I could not describe most of it as one of the Orcs hit me with a sword. Then everything went black. The next thing I knew, I was lying in the middle of the village square. All three of my companions were looking at me with concern. I got up, looked around. There were no Orcs. I don't know exactly what happened, but my guess is that I died and Kalia revived me. I told them my guess. What I found out: I was mostly correct, except Kalia wasn't the one who saved my life. It was my big brother, Chichiri. (Doesn't he have better things to do? Why is HE the only one who saves my life? Maybe my friend isn't as friendly as I think)
Anyways, we went through a side door. There were no Orcs in the room (thank goodness). It was a small room, and its only purpose seemed to be to lead into the next room. We went into the next room. There was a rock. With a person in it.
The person saw us and said, "Stop, and ponder this riddle: A quest for love ends with me, yet I am made endlessly, if I drop, I say my name, If I touch rock, freedom gain (A/N: That riddle is actuallly in the game! In fact, the story is based off of the game I played*I never solved the riddle, but I think I know the answer* *Yes, I did name my characters 'Samora', 'Kalia', 'Chichiri', and 'Ivan'*)
We found out a lot more stuff. THe answer to the riddle was the only thing that could free Jarial (that was the person's name). Apparently his girlfriend got mad at him 100 years ago and trapped him in the boulder, and before she could release him, she accidentally got herself killed (I can see why. What with so many Orcs and undead thingiemabobbers, it's hard NOT to get killed).
"Jarial," I said, "I think I know the answer."
"You do?" he replied in amazement.
"Yes," I called back, "A ring. When you are looking for your true love, once you find them and get married, you have a wedding ring to bind your love together. 'A quest for love ends with me'. A ring is a circle, so it has no beginning, no end.
'Yet I am made endlessly'. If a ring falls to the ground, it makes a ringing noise. 'If I drop, I say my name'. And, if that is the answer to the riddle, if it touches the boulder, you will be free. 'If I touch rock, freedom gain'. But it must be a certain ring. A special ring."
"Of course," he said, "The wedding ring! I was engaged to her, we were going to get married....but she took it with her."
"And she's dead," I said, "Well, most tteasure is picked up and kept by the two major Orc tribes around here, both of which are a major pain in the butt."
"Two major Orc tribes?" said Chichiri, "Sammi, what are you talking about?"
"Remember those Orcs past Nottle's wagon? THe ones who told us about 'Zud' and 'Mol'?" I said, "I'll bet my bottom dollar that both of their hideouts are in these ruins. And also, When we were in the Great Hall, I heard Orcs' voices to the north. I heard a little of what they were saying, and from what I heard, I think 'Zud' is to the north of here."
Well, after that, we started getting ready to camp for the night. Personally, I don't think this is a very good place to camp because Jarial keeps singing 'I know a Song that gets on everybody's nerves' (I wonder how he knows that? That song wasn't around 100 years ago!). Oh, well, if I'm lucky, I might get a little sleep.
