We continue on and see lights glowing in the wall. We reach a point, and the horses ask us to scout ahead. We reach an open room and see magic crystal elementals. We eventually manage to defeat it, and my wraps get covered in ruby dust. We see the tunnel start healing up. Vorest and Vondal also look a little more at ease. We heal up and continue.After a bit, we reach a circular arch like the entrance was, but there doesn't seem to be an exit, which could be a problem. There seems to be something written on the wall, which Vandederp says he recognizes. He figures out the puzzle and mutters "dead portal opening begin" in draconic. I translate for Vondal and Vorest. A portal opens. We head through.
It is very bright and there appears to be vegetation about the clearing where the portal is. I feel light. The horses are uncomfortable, and Vondal points out the clouds. Vandederp and Vorest and the rest of the horses follow and Vandederp looks at the portal and thinks. He then starts saying what he said inside, and the portal closes. He mutters a few other things, but stops after a pause.
Vorest's sending stone speaks up and she tells us that Albert says we should "head for Amruthar, find Druuk the Orc. Scars on neck, one tusk. May help you but approach cautiously." She answers yes.
Another portal opens and a very magic skeleton comes through. He starts questioning us. We tell him how we got there and demands we open the portal for him. He does confirm that we are in Thay. Then he attacks us because we won't open the portal, and he is interested in my chalices - which I had said was a glass until Vandederp corrected me. Our brains are very confused and things are confusing. And the world seems to tilt. The world balances out. We can't seem to hurt him, but he can certainly hurt us. Vondal grapples him to the ground, and that stops him from casting spells. I try to stun him and I thought I got him a couple times. It seems to be one of the almost useful things in this fight. He vanishes and we went after him after he appears.
He announces that he is leaving and we can join him in Amruthar, and he will be better prepared. He teleports and tries to leave through a portal. Vorest and Vondal try to stop him and he says "we'll meet again" and crumpled to dust. We enter the trees and find the edge of the island. We can see floating islands everywhere. I wonder how we get down. There is land, like a thousand feet below.
