Chapter 6

Torjen checked the quest board near the town master's house. There was a new quest surveying the old hill mansion overlooking the town. It had only been a few years since the town was reestablished. This town was University City centuries ago before the beast hordes razed it to the ground. To his side there were a few others checking also. An old human greybeard with two young petite dwarf girls. "Granpa let's choose the old mansion we'll just look around and come back." One girl said. Torjen thought they were too young to be actual adventurers. "First outside our courtyard you must call me Master Grey. Second we need to register you two with the guild then we will return to see about this quest." Master Grey then led them to the inn.

Torjen pulled the mansion quest down and returned to the Adventurers Guild Inn.

Clutching a sword in one hand and his waistband in the other the dark elf backed out of the washroom. Tentacles were surging out of the toilet. "His intestines came out. " laughed Flynn. Stor more seriously moved into position to attack the creature as the dark elf stabbed his sword into the tentacles. Almost instantaneously the sword began to rust. With moments it it was pitted and useless. Stor called on the power of his deity to smite the creature. "Flame o-" Stor began before getting jostled by Flynn.

Notching and shooting arrow after arrow the dark elf slowly gave ground. Flynn drunkenly strode past eyes wild hefting his old dirty battle axe. He made to cleave a tentacle as he heard Stor yell "Flame On" from behind.

Three tentacles shot forward and gripped the bow and quivers causing all the metal parts to instantly corrode. Tentacles flowed into quivers flowing over copper arrowheads. Flynn swung head in an overhanded chop. Stor's flaming hammer crushed into the creatures skull leaving behind a stench burning rubber. As several tentacles were severed the creature fled back into the toilet.

Flynn began preparations to climb into the toilet.

Jenny Baker ran from the back kitchen to dump a pot of blood and guts into the toilet. "Sorry I forgot to feed it this morning" she apologized. "The Guild will replace all your lost gear. Just take this voucher to Jor Jor Outfitters nearby. Ask for the manager Josh he's a friend of the Guild and will set you right. "
