"You sure this is the path that leads to Amgarrak?" I asked. There was a sort of low hanging odd mist going around the place. Snug and Jerrik were right behind.
"I'm sure Paragon, this is the way to lead us into Amgarrak. After this point my brother did not contact me again." Jerrik sighed. I patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry. We'll find him. Your brother is as tough as the Stone. Let's go!" I led our small group toward the odd mist when I heard that familiar whisper in the back of my head. Darkspawn. Out came a group of shrieks from the shadows, their measly daggers were no match for my armor. I let out a growl and punted one straight back into the darkness. Snug rammed another and slammed his horn against the last one.
"Look, the mist is shifting." Jerrik said. Sure enough, the mist moved to open another path.
"I have a feeling whatever is down here, it's trying to lead us to it." I reasoned.
"That is not a good thing." Jerrik said.
"It never is." I said. We followed the path the mist was leading us through. We found a steel golem in the middle of two statues of paragons.
"A golem?" I wondered.
"This looks like one of Caradin's golems…but it seems to be modified. If this is here, then I know we are getting closer to Amgarrak. Those that were in Amgarrak must have experimented on these existing golems. Maybe they were able to find the secret to building them." Jerrik described.
"Let's see if the Ancestors saved their records then." I said.
"Do you think we'll be able to find the control rod to this one?" Jerrik asked.
"One way to find out." I said, getting out of the small cavern. When I noticed, the mist shifted again. Jerrik and I gave each other a glance before continuing on. I saw something in the distance before we were ambushed by more shrieks. I slammed into one with my hammer. The other two got on top of snug before he started to buck. They dropped down before Jerrik came up and slashed their throats with his daggers.
The last one tried dragging itself away before I smashed in its chest cavity with my hammer. It splooshed. I chuckled.
"Ah nothing like squishing the life out of darkspawn." I said. I went forward near the fires and saw a control rod on the table. It was almost as if someone had placed it there to find it.
"Is that the control rod for the golem? Let's go see if it works." Jerrik asked. We went back through the path and went to the golem that was standing there. I took the control rod and tapped it on the golem. It came to life.
"Well slap my arse and call me Sally! It works!" I laughed.
"Good, this will help us." Jerrik said. We came out and the last path opened. As we went through the carved hallway, I sense darkspawn and shrieks came running toward us. I heard a thump in the air and their glowed blue and disappeared.
"What the sod was that?" I wondered, that tingling feeling in the back of my head still there but I couldn't see any darkspawn around us.
"What was that? Where did they go Paragon?" Jerrik asked. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Can't give you an answer there. I saw them for a split second and I can still feel them but they're not here. Ah those blighted creatures can get themselves killed, let's go." I said, leading the way. We went through the carved hall before I saw someone running, another thump going out, more blue.
"I'm not sure what we're seeing and it's making me feel uncomfortable." Jerrik said.
"Ah I knew I should've sent a letter to Talen. That priss would know more about this magic hooey." We continued on and I heard the skittering of a deepstalker. I took out my hammer but the small group just ran away from everything.
"The deepstalkers are running away. This bodes ill." Jerrik said.
"Don't be getting cold feet Dace. We've only just begun." I chuckled. We went and continued toward Amgarrak before I saw a veil tear. An arcane horror and a revenant were standing together. I smirked darkly.
"About time we had some fun around here!" I shouted. I felt the revenants pulled and allowed it to do so. It brought me to them. I whammed my hammer on the side of the head of the revenant. The Arcane horror tried to fling a spirit spell but it only tickled thanks to the added enchantments of my armor. I did a mighty swing and threw it from the platform. It landed near the rest. I stood a blow from the revenant and did a pommel strike on its chest.
I swung my hammer against and got it on the side. It staggered but I was unrelenting, going blow for blow against the demon. Then I slammed the head of the hammer on its legs, causing it to go down. I smashed its face and I saw the Arcane Horror was dealt with on the ground. After they were both done for the count, I felt something brush past me. The tear in the veil was gone.
"Did you feel that? It was like something brushing past me." Jerrik said.
"Something is messing with something they shouldn't be messing with." I growled. I started to get that gut feeling again. There was something wrong in Amgarrak but I didn't know what. I started to regret not bringing in the priss. He would probably know what was going on.
There was no time to go back. We are here and I can't abandon Brogan.
Time to nut up or shut up.
You gotta love Derek and his attitude!
