**************
Entropy returned not long later, with another member of the Progeny in tow, Arc Darkhelm, an axedwarf of the westlands.
They'd been scouting out our next target, a titaness named Eletha Tightnessbraids the Yearling of Dwellings, who resided in a cave called Hateshadows the Shrieks of Worth.
Fortunately, they reported that the titan was alone there, apart from some normal cave beasts.
Aliwe advised us that this Titaness had been busy causing mayhem, and was setting up cults to the Soulsmith in various places. Where a cancer grows, it must be removed. Eletha was set to be removed.
We headed to the cave in question only to find Eletha outside.
She reeled off an impressive list of murders, and, in good grace, we let her finish her little speech.
Then we launched our assault. This time, I am pleased to say, we came away without any deaths, apart from that of the titaness, of course.
Both Entropy and Arc had their legs broken, but the Titaness swiftly succumbed to pain as I twisted my blade in her flesh. The others continued their assault, mortally wounding the monster in several locations.
Eventually the monster bled out. Just another casualty in the war against the Soulsmith.
We returned to Aliwe, taking some time as our wounded could not move very quickly. By the time we returned, he already had another task for us.
In the north lay a cave named Wastemines the White Evenness. There, he told us, dwelled a gray dragon named Etog Gorgemined the Earthen Wealth.
You may wonder, why were we to destroy a gray dragon.
I asked that too.
Aliwe told us that this dragon had struck down Iritha Conventclasps, the Searing Canyons, one of the Avatars, over 1300 years ago, and had never been punished for the crime. He had also slain countless other creatures."
The monster dwelled there with its brother, so we had two of the beasts to contend with. Unfortunately its brother was responsible for the slaughter of seven Avatars, so we did wonder how we were going to contend with something that powerful.
