BACK TO GHOSTGATE
"No." I replied, "We need to head back to Ghostgate. You and I both need rest, and I need to fix a few things." "What things?" she asked. "Well, we're both running out of arrows." I said. "Your armor and weapons need to be repaired, and what needs to be 'fixed' is the fact that several of these creatures seem to be able to paralyze me. How many 'cure paralyze' potions do we have left." We checked - only 2 left. Definately not enough to make this journey again. Just the journey to the first Dwemer stronghold here to find Sunder had used most of them. |
I saw this one coming, and put up a Wall of Fire spell. Even with that much power, it managed to break through at the last moment of it's life, and my bound longsword finished it off. |
I would need a different plan of action. |
Finally, in the distance, through the dust and ash, I could see the dim outline of Ghostgate. It was nearly midnight, and we were both very glad to get out of here. |
We just stood there for a few moments, enjoying the lack of ashstorm, and being able to see the stars in the sky for the first time in two days. |
I had Laurenna give me her armor and equipment and told her to get some rest. |
"This bow is pretty badly beat up." he mentioned. "Been shooting at lots of stuff, I'd imagine." "You'd imagine correctly." I replied. |
The next morning, I laid Laurenna's equipment out for her. "Wait for me here." I said. "I'll use a scroll to return to Solstheim Castle. I have much work to do in the lab." I told her to go get something to eat and take it easy until I returned. |
