(Internet still down, still using my iPhone 2S to update. The updates to the player/monster list are at the mercy of the AT&T service technician now.)

Felix dashes down the hall ahead of the group. He and Oliver run for a short distance before coming to an area where there once was a wooden roof. The beams had long ago rotted away and the stone walls gave way to an expansive view of the sky above. At the far end of the room he sees the wolf disappear into a tiny hole beneath the wall. The rest of the group, (unless someone decides to take the other path) appears a minute later. Upon catching their breath the group notices that this room was once a cathedral. Shards of stained glass can be seen glimmering underneath empty window frames. An alter to one of the many Godesses stands on the left side of the room. One of two angelic statues has somehow been broken over the many years. This room is quiet, silent actually. Even the wind is still. The divine hum of a holy site can be heard if one was to listen intently to the silence. There are two exits from the room, the one you entered through, and what was once the main doors.

Felix, excited to scout the area and find more monsters to befriend, hurries along through the main doors! Caution is for people without maces.

He calls to Zomara as they enter the room. "The pup went through a hole in the wall! That way!" He points towards the last known location of their former foe.

"I wouldn't bother, it's just an ordinary wolf, nothing monstery about it that I can see."

Flabort and Moe investigate the main doors, and then proceed through.

(6) The alter belongs to a female Goddess. It is holy in origin and seems to contain some amount of residual power. Without knowledge of which Goddess it belongs too, you can't really do much with it. Upon closer inspection you find a book which seems almost completely undamaged by the elements. It's cover is white leather and it has straps to keep it shut. It has no title on the cover.

Zomara grabs his slime and throws it at the hole.
"Munch, try to find the wolf pup. Don't attack it, though."
After that, he follows Felix.
"Mel is our friend, promise?"
He said as he pulled back out the meet. Before calling out to the scared creature.

"Flare, keep watch." Beirus states before cautiously opening the book and beginning to read through the first few pages to get an idea of the subject matter. He wonders if it might hold some secret to infusing Flare with the power of the altar, or perhaps knowledge of magic.

"Alright alright! Wonder if there's treasure in the next rooms..."

Felix leaves the ruined church to explore beyond their double doors!

Berius opens the book and after reading for a few seconds says the word "Yes" loud enough for his friends to hear him. Immediately an icy wind fills the room. Frost gathers on the walls and those still inside are depraved of all body heat. A glowing cyan tendril flows forth from the book in Berius's hands. It slowly stretches and twists in Flare's direaction. After a few agonizing moments of icy winds howling through the abandoned church, the tendril reaches Flare. Flare, now writhing to escape the icy grasp which has taken ahold, floats upwards to meet the tendril. Its spiritual energies flow into its mouth as it opens it to release a flame breath. There is a burst of cyan light and Flare drops to the ground. Berius rushes to his friend through the biting winds. The scales across Flare's chest have turned a a bright cyan and are glowing with a rapidly fading light. Flare doesn't seem to be breathing. He definitely isn't breathing! After a few moments of sheer panic Flare's eyes fly open and he opens his mouth. You feel as if gravity has suddenly and forcefully been redirected towards Flare. Those still standing are knocked down by the force of the suction. Flare sucked in the howling icy wind! The maelstrom that was ravaging you seconds ago disappeared into flare's small mouth!

Flare gains the anti-breath ability!

Those inside collect themselves and notice that the humming of the room has stopped. The book has returned to normal except that all of its writing has disappeared.

Those outside the temple heard the massive storm that just occupied that space, but have new issues to deal with. They have stumbled directly into a goblin village! Not only that, but the goblins knew they were coming and they're almost surrounded, save for the doors they just exited through. There are 15 snow goblins, one of which seems to be a shaman of sorts. They don't attack yet, but sudden moves seem like a very very bad idea.

From what you can gather, snow goblins stand two and a half feet tall, are light grey with white hair, use primitive weaponry, and really don't like intruders.

((ugh, this moves way too fast.))
Felicia closes her eyes for a moment, muttering something under her breath.
She remains still.

Felix, of course, will not be dissuaded by such things like logic and danger. Instead, he smiles to the leader, Oliver hiding behind him.

"Ah! Sorry about that, friend! We seem to have taken a wrong turn and wound up in your village! Don't mind us, we'll be out of your hair in just a moment... Unless, of course, some of you want to come with us?" He offers, smiling with a calming aura about him. He wouldn't mind a new companion... Especially if it was the Shaman. But he had a feeling a fight was going to break out soon, so for now he'd stall for time or recruit what he could.

Zomara just remained quiet. Nothing he could do, and Munch was going after the wolf, so he was on his own.

This wasn't good. not good at all. The Overseer started to back up slowly and motioned you to do the same. He obviously knew something you didn't because you all should be able to take these goblins, especially with his help. At that moment you saw it too. At first it seemed like a cloud-bank had drifted in front of the sun, but then there was great downward gusts of wind. A chill filled the air as all heat in the area was sapped away. The entire area suddenly shook and rocks fell down the mountain to your left. You looked up and you saw it. A giant winged basilisk had landed on the mountain in front of you. It was bigger than any monster you had ever seen. Its wide shoulders, muscly tail, and devastating maw filled you with a sense of dread. This was not a monster you could take.

The great beast let out a booming roar and snow and and wind filled the sky. It has began snowing heavily! The goblins fell over themselves to escape. Their huts and possessions abandoned, they ran for any cover they could find.

Alright lady's, its time to go. That bitch is ruining my training exercise, but we have to know how to choose are battles. And I choose life! At that moment Hestol reached into his pocket and took out a fistfull of tiny metal wings. He stuck one on each of you, and after a moment, you shot directly up into the air! The warp wings lifted you and your monster high into the air before turning and flying you towards the Guild Hall. As Flabbort ascended the great beast leaned forward and snapped at him with its great maw. His warpwing dodged as the airspace it was in just a second ago is swallowed by teeth larger than Flabbort himself.

I'll meet you all back at the Guild Hall! Overseer Hestol shouted into the wind as you rose upwards. He then turned towards the direction Munch went and set out to find the adventuring slime.



End of Mission 1.

Leonardo observed the little wolf running away it isn't even worth the effort of catching it, it's too young..  . he thinks. Apparently however the others had others ideas because they stated chasing it. No nedd to do the same anyway. You have been vey good Auror, you are an excellent monster he said, fondling the bird. Then he started roaming around, keeping an eye on the others to be sure not to find himself isolated. However, safety in numbers turned out not to be the best options, when they suddenly found themselves surrounded by goblins. that is not good. . And things got even worse when a freaking Basilisk apperared. While he was absolutely terrified, he couldn' t help  but to be amazed at the sight of this marvelous beast.It was beutiful. he was so amazed that the arrival of Hestol caught him off guard. He suddenly felt lifted up, and before he could even think, he was back at the guild, Auror a his side.
