Al'Kabor took a deep breath
and the energy that was
gathered from the sheer rage
of the mighty wizard
dissipated. "Fool! Continue."
Dagda turned a worried gaze
upon the wizard, her hand
slowly moving to her sword,
just in case. 

Dabner fidgeted nervously,
shuffling his feet and
page 1
wringing his gnomish hands.
"Wow Al, you're really mad
about this aren't you."

Ignoring the last few
stressful moments completely
Ognit said, "Ehem, yes. So
anyway, I found that if I
infused that Hatch thing
that's attached to the wall
with just the tiniest bit of
magical energy it would act
page 2
like a transformer and
release HUGE amounts of
power!"

Al'Kabor clenched both of
his fists and relaxed them
once again. "For your
information gnome, that Hatch
'thing' you speak of was put
in place to protect the Wall
of Living Stone and to keep
it alive and healthy!"
page 3

Al'Kabor continued, "The
Heretics damaged the wall of
Living Stone by trying to do
the very same experiments!
After they damaged it they
put the Hatch in place to
keep the wall alive and
strong. The Hatch and the
Wall of Living Stone prevent
the creatures that inhabit
the Plane of Underfoot from
page 4
entering the world ever
again. Your meddling has
obviously weakened both."

Ognit nodded and said, "Well
yes, of course. My
experiments were going really
well and I managed to get an
amazing power output on my
last attempt. That's when
things turned badly."

page 5
Al'Kabor put the back of his
hand to his forehead and
asked in a tired voice, "So
you damaged the Living Stone,
weakened the Hatch and
suddenly you were surrounded
by denizens of the underfoot
breaking loose and running
pell-mell to the surface
correct?"

"Well, that's about right,"
page 6
Ognit answered.

"No doubt those creatures
were all waiting with baited
breath for the moment the
wall would be weakened
sufficiently allowing for
their escape again. I'm sure
they were alerted the moment
you've begun this madness,"
the wizard hypothesized.

page 7
Dabner raised his hand. The
diminutive cleric of Brell
Serillis said, "Ognit, tell
him about that Dartain guy.
He seemed pretty nice, except
for that bit about draining
our life force and stuff."

Al'Kabor turned a murderous
glare upon the gnome, "Gods
strike me dead now!" His
voice dripping with sarcasm
page 8
and spite he ordered, "Yes
Ognit, please tell me about
Dartain!"

A rather large crowd of
people had gathered around
the group and were listening
intently to the discussion.
One person in particular,
another Erudite, seemed very
interested in what was being
discussed. So interested in
page 9
fact, that he was writing
furiously in a small booklet
apparently recording every
word that was said.

Ognit said nervously, "Yes,
well, this Dartain fellow
was an Erudite, like you."

Noticing the anger of
Al'Kabor building again upon
the comparison, Ognit
page 10
corrected himself. "No! I
take that back! He was
nothing like you actually.
Not like you, uhh, he was
kind of spooky though. Not
like you're not scary
yourself."

Ognit stopped and
stammered, "Umm. I didn't
mean that like it sounded.
Let me start over. Ok, so
page 11
this Dartain guy was an
Erudite." Al'Kabor took
in breath as the name
was repeated and his teeth
ground audibly.

Ognit laughed nervously and
then said, "Yes. So he said
he was trapped for a long
time in the Plane of
Underfoot but he seemed
really happy to finally be
page 12
out of there. On the bright
side, he told me that The
Living Wall would heal itself
in time. And he said that The
Hatch was still functioning
properly. So everything
should be ok." 

Ognit smiled, "You see, no
harm done! A few days and
everything should be back to
normal!"
