25th of Eleint, 1492 (Morning) This is going to be a short one today The party wakes up to find their sister, Neristina, has disappeared just as quietly as she had appeared not a few days prior. The party wakes up groggy and confused about her whereabouts, but figure if she found them before, she'll be able to find them again. They have a mission to accomplish and they can figure out what happened with her later. For the time being, they gather themselves up and load up the cart, taking their two captives with them back to the mines. The party made it back to the mines by dusk, They keep the cart hidden away with Don-Jon and the zombie orcs keeping watch over the captives to deal with the wererats. Within, they are once more escorted to the den by the guards, but not before being insulted by Briar who didn't realize after using the term 'bitches' that they were female. None the less, they brought them back to the leader. The party attempted to give diplomacy a chance with these wererats, despite the unease they felt with these creatures and their naturally scheming looks. As expected, diplomacy would break down as they never had any intentions of leaving or seeing the party again expecting the orcs to take care of them. Briar quickly acting he brings his hands up with flames forming in them, causing the group of people nearby to shape change and take the form of bulky male wererats, leaping to attack the party with the leader, giant rats nearby, and the guards that came as soon as they heard the clashing. The party was quickly surrounded as each one of the members had to dodge and block short swords and bite attacks from these beasts. Despite their best efforts, Kia couldn't fight off the force of the bites and she felt a strange change within her body. None the less, she and the rest of the party fought on. Briar giving the phrase "Orc bell" which everyone quickly realized what that meant, and rushed to the hallway to minimize the damage as he cast Thunderwave. With one mighty thunderclap, Briar once again cleared the room of fighters, many of them getting crushed by the force while others were bashed into the cave walls. Two of the furthest wererats from Briar barely survived and they quickly attempted to retreat, seeing they were now horribly outnumbered and outmatched by this party. With a few quick throws of psycho-knives, they finished dispatching this den of wererats. While Naisys goes to retrieve Don-Jon, letting him know it's safe and the wererats were dealt with, Kia and Briar start to explore the mines to make sure there were no more wererats and to see what items of interest were about. They came to an opening at the other end of the mountainside, seeing a number of earthy mounds circling the nearby bushes, each with a pickaxe standing at the heads of each, marking the graves of fallen dwarves. Sullen, the two head back to search the mines further, but were suddenly jumped by this large monstrosity of a worm. Naisys and Don-Jon heard the noise, from the den and they rush to see what had happened. Though as soon as they arrived, they found the creature dead, burned from the inside out. This is where the session paused 25th of Eleint, 1492 (Sunset)
