Tilia’s Field Notes: Subterranean Adventures

After my most recent entry, we spent a night recovering before returning to what I shall call the “Rainbow Room” below the glowing elven caves. This time, Travis was able to talk his way into easily retrieving the colored liquids that had so fascinated Wynlynn, aside from one.

There was an intense clash with a pair of elementals — water and fire — in which my spells proved quite helpful. Apparently the logic of wielding the opposing element against each creature was effective.

After all of that, Travis was able to unlock a way into yet another sub-level, an enormous space with a temple and more robots like him. Of course, further conflict arose and we fled. Val actually beat me to the punch in retreating! I was proud of my companions for recognizing that we were very likely to fare poorly against the machine men.

I’ve faltered in keeping up my field notes lately, however, as there has been little opportunity to observe natural history and my mind has been occupied with other concerns. We pass quickly through the forests without time to see the plants and animals. Trying to examine the nature of my strange tribe is its own challenge, as what we hear of everyone’s story has pieces missing from it.
