[color:"#00cccc"]I knocked on the door.... nothing, I knocked again..... nothing.
seems abandoned, so I might as well check it out
I opened the door and let the sunlight show me the interior of the cabin: cobwebs all over the place but it was very tidy. I seems to have been abandoned long time ago, but the person who lived here was very tidy I went inside and looked around a bit, nothing much to see.... except....
There was a dim light coming from under the bed. I pushed the bed aside and found a hatch. I opened the hatch and saw a stair leading into some kind of cellar. where is this light coming from I thought to myself. I went downstairs with a club I found in the cabin in my hands..
"Heloooo..!!!", no answer. A faint noise came from the far end of the cellar and the light down here was geneterated in transparent round things hanging every 50cm. I went further down the hall and found the room where the noise was coming from. It was a machine of some kind and the wires on which the transparent bulbs hang seem to go into that machine... STRANGE.
The next room contained a large table with lots of technical drawings on it. I decided to take them along; if someone can make this kind of machine, these might come in handy for Jurak's sled
I put them in my bag and went along, back upstairs since there was no more to be found down here. In the cabin I went through all the drawers and closets and found 1 note, apparently the inhabitant left for his wife, it seemed she never got it:
"Dear Lobella,
I've got to go, Lord Aganeth needs my services (he seemed very interested in my work, especially the 'power-generator') and you know it's best not to keep him waiting since the village 'Trogik' just before his caste is 3 days of walking South-West from here, over the land and then into the mountains, climbing very steep for the last day
I shall be back in 15 days
Love
Turinus"
this note was dated 9 months ago.
"hmm, South-West eey, thank you Turinus, I think I'll go and see how we can get to Trogik" I said to mysef. I had to do this last bit of scouting because 500m further away there was a steep ravine with a very wild river and I haven't seen a bridge over it so far. Although.... I could go look for a bridge the night we're sleeping here, that way I can go back to the group now because maybe they were getting worried
I left back for the village at a slower pace, so I wouldn't exhaust myself. I'll be there in 3 hours, so We'll have 4 more hours to get ready then [/color]
