Captains Log - *Trip to The Caves*
"I had a meeting with Iggy, and after I was to make it to the bug pit to train Ash. I never made it though. Waiting for Iggys shop to clear up before our meet, The Castanets and I went on a walk with Torren. Up in the caves, there were some Spider Bots mining away at the roof and walls of the cave. Seeing rocks beginning to fall, we decided to try and stop the bots and investigate. Turns out they know Sign Language. We asked who they worked for, why they were gathering materials and gems, and many other things. They're not the talkative sort though, and we ended up having to fight. They can shoot explosions, and walk on walls. Everyone did their best and fought well. Unfortunately, they detonate when they perish, and I found myself caught in the blast of one of them. Torren and Hilda brought me back to stability and we fought together to finish off the creatures. We took the bots that could be salvaged so that someone may rip them apart and discover how they work. I got dragged to the hospital after that. I'm sure burnt up, and Ash says I shouldn't move for about three days. I should be back up and fighting for Underhaven again soon.
"Oh yeah, I've been to an 'Island'. Once upon an old voyage my crew and I were shipwrecked on an Isle of Mushrooms. There, beasts were. Living Mushrooms. My crew and I took cover! We watched the beasts and learned of their hunger. I alone was brave enough to push forward and try to tame the creature. I sliced off a portion of mushroom growing on the island floor and offered it to the Mushroom Monster. As it ate from my hand, I sensed it's raw power. The beast could take out a thousand ships if it waned to. It brought me to its lair, and offered to let me keep one of their own."
"Okay Finn, Levi is cute but let's work on our honesty."
"My Leviathan will shake the world! I'm gonna let em ride around on my hat today for enrichment."
Finn is found spinning a weave to some strangers, all of whom doubt his words.
"It was quite the tale I tell you. A group of adventurers and myself were sent into the dark pit where bodies are decomposed and eaten away by death dealing worm-y bugs. The goal? To find the missing body of a goblin fellah who had fallen tragically below. We split into two groups and went down the shaft. There, thousands of thousands of disgusting creatures skittered around, waiting for a moment to take our lives. We split into two search parties and I took one of the torches to keep the creatures at bay. The other group went left, and we went right. Sneaking about the darkness to find the skeleton. From bone pile to bone pile, we searched, slowly losing hope until.. it happened. Our groups met up, and above us was a disgusting sac of some kind of flesh and pus, within- the goblin man was resting. As much as a skeleton could. Addy flew up, and cut the partially digested friend free. We all mourned the loss of a local from Underhaven. We made our way back to the surface, and the body was taken away. Hopefully to be revived."
As the group clears, Finn seems disappointed at not having been believed. Having actually told the truth. For once.
