Chapter 6: The Shiverpeaks to Droknar's Forge
After a long day's journey past the Barbarian vill and Cold Mountain, Manticore stumbled upon a familiar site, like a mirage, the portal. "wat does that portal lead to?" asked Manticore "we dont see a portal anywhere" replied Cmeister "but i do!" but the mirage faded.. "hmm...its gone, maybe a mirage" said Manticore. they kept walking along thru the druid town of Traverly and a long,exausting run to the other side of White-Wolf Mountain to Catherby, and thru Camelot to the north. They saw a village of viking-like people and asked for directions, "where is Thunderhead Keep?" asked Manticore "heh! there is no Thunderhead Keep!" yelled the cheiftan "we heard a rumor that, that place is the invisible sacred city of the dwarves!" "thanks.." said Cmeister "but i think its in the caves of the Shiverpeaks" said the cheiftan. the gang traveled the steep slopes of the Shiverpeaks when they found a wall. "now wat? theres no way around" complained Avilame "shut yo shit hole, Avilame. we will find a way to break thru the walls" said Stigs "break it up u 2! all we need is to find a hidden door, if there is 1, and try to open it" said Cmeister. they were feeling the wall when Cmeister came across a nudge, like a key hole. "any1 have te key?" "wat key?" asked Manticore "the key to this lock" said Cmeister "o lemmi get out some notes i took from a lesson in school about how to open doors, ah! it says "Until moonshine, a key to the lock will be the door will not shine, but reflects off of the lake."" "wat does that mean?" asked Stigs "it means we have to wait til nightfall and wait for a key to spawn somewher while the door will appear as a reflection in the lake down there" said manticore "but how do we open the door w/ the key? "asked Avilame "we just go down to the lake and we put the key in the reflection's lock, but we need to have some1 wait at the door to open to hold it, cuz it will only open for a short time before the key disappears" said Cmeister "oh, lets get to it then" so they waited til nightfall, and ate full moon rose in the horizon while the key spawned next to the lake, Cmeister,Stigs,Spikey, and Avilame waited for the door to open while manticore was about to put the lock in the the moon turned into the Lunar Eclipse and Manticore was shaking "MANTICORE HURRY!" yelled C "im...trying!" Manticore stuck the key in the lock and tried to run up to the door while the gang was holding it open. luckily they all got in, in time before the door closed. Manticore was exausted and felt that very same shock that he felt during the last eclipse. Cmeister tried to make Manticore stand up but he passed out "something happened!" yelled C "like he just got knocked out from the eclipse!" "OW DAMN THAT FUCKIN HURT!idk how he shocked me!" yelled Avilame. a group of dwarves, that were carrying battle axes, scuttled to the seen w/ first aid while the other dwarves said "who r u an here?" "our friend just passed out, we r here to see some crafters in Thunderhead Keep 4 a trial that The Seeker gave our friend here" said Cmeister "hmm..we will help ur friend, we r also friends of The Seeker but such a task wud mean hes not who he is." said 1 of the dwarves "btw im Cmeister, this is Stigs,Avilame, and Spikey, and our friend, that just went cold on the floor, is Manticore" said C "come we will take u to Thunderhead Keep, u will b greeted there by our ruler, King Albert Stein." the dwarves dragged Manticore and brought the gang to the market square, the other dwarves took him to the hospital wing. while the gang was searching for the armor crafters. "hey i'll run u to Droknar's Forge if ur seeking the greatest armor crafters in Runescape!" said a runner (some1 who takes a group to a certain place for money) "sure! but can we wait til tommorow, cuz our friend is in the hospital and we cant leave w/o him?" said C "sure!but gimmi 500g first hand so i can pack yall's camping equipment and food" so C gives the runner the money and schedules the trip to Droknar's Forge for next day Manticore had recovered from the shock and the gang set off to Droknar's day and night the gang was so exausted they asked the runner to set up camp where and rest did and Manticore had a dream that the armor crafter wud give a task to find a wizend old creature somewhere in the forbbidened caves to infuse and bless the armor w/ all kinds of runes (in guild wars, runes r bonuses that boosts armor w/ they packed the equipment they continued the journey and finally got to Droknar's saw the humongous marketplace they have ever seen when they saw the famous armor crafter. "HEY HEY! i was wondering if u have elite platemail armor for The Seeker's 4th task?" said Manticore "i..am..old, must i constuct that bit of armor that requires so much materials and infusion from the great sorcerer of the Shiverpeaks?if u must, for the cursed one, i will.i will need the equipment to make it." said the old dwarf "wat kind of materials?and where can i find em?" asked Manticore "u must get 4 cut diamonds,200 steel ingots, and 50 obsidian shards, from Absoulute, the great one is in the Forbbiden Cave across the icy river. It is a long travel young one, but beware of the cursed one, he will betray u w/o a doubt" " happens if i go into the cave?and who is the cursed 1?" asked Manticore "the cursed one, i cannot tell, u must find for urself, but u have been speaking to him since Elvarg, the now, dead dragon of enter the Forbbiden Cave will result in death by King Albert Stein, but if u manage to escape the dictator's hands i will grant u the armor and infuse it w/ the runes that Absoulute will give u" said the old dwarf " pretty...hard but i think i can handle it" said Manticore "lets get going Manticore, we cannot waiste any time, we must find Absoulute, the great sorcerer of the Shiverpeaks, and escape the king's army before its too late!" said C. "to the Forbbiden Cave we go!" said Avilame
