(M-IC) Quest for the Restoration

[GodlyD&D]

Jaydeen shot a couple of arrows at where the last rotmonster, pieced with many arrows, to disappear had been, just put back into the area of the moonbeam. The arrows both hit the ground there, and fell on their sides then. Jaydeen said, "They did not just become invisible!"

Arapegol said, "I did not have them teleported anywhere else. I would not have any good place to teleport them to."

Gasha said, "So they actually teleport themselves, then."

Iperanton said, "That would not explain it either. We were cutting off tentacles from them before, and then when they did not prevail, they would just move quickly away, without teleporting anywhere."

Galvishar said, "Yet they are not at all there! They must have moved from teleportation."

Arapegol said, "So it is not teleportation from what I can do, or what they can do even when tentacles are cut off, it must be teleportation from somewhere else, or, someone else. But who?"

[GodlyD&D]

They all looked out from the top of that lookout construction with one guard there too. Iperanton said, "Arapegol, it seemed to you that the vision I spoke of suggests that there is a wizard with a station he uses in the Primal Forest, where he has a gate made to bring in these rotmonster beings from somewhere else. It seems to me now that the rotmonsters could be teleported back to where they came from. They are certainly not around anywhere within sight in all that country we see from here. The wizard you think is bringing them here could do that. But why would he? It does nothing for his motive to bring them here. Someone or some things is teleporting them back, though I can't tell who or what."

Galvishar said, "It has not occurred with any rotmonsters we encountered and even fought, except with these ones, with a moonbeam cast on them, and being shot with arrows and being teleported back into the cone of the moonbeam when they move out to escape it. It is like that is a threshold, while tentacles being chopped off was not, that they would be teleported."

Arapegol said, "If any of them are going to be teleported out to where they come from, with that being done, that is what we should do with all the rest that we encounter! And there are many of them, which we have been seeing. Even more can be seen coming this way now!"

[GodlyD&D]

The others with Arapegol at the top on the lookout construction with the guard stationed there saw the half dozen strangler rotmonsters still coming that were now getting near to the gate, and agreed with him. They planned to again for Arapegol to have these ones teleported into the moonbeam that Gasha had cast, and Jaydeen would shoot arrows still at those escaping from that while Arapegol would keep using the teleportation to return those ones into the area of the moonbeam.

If this was going to result in the rotmonsters disappearing from there, they could be sure this was an effective way to get rid of the rotmonsters that had been invading this country. They would still have to stop what was allowing them to come into their world.

And in a couple of moments, the rotmonsters were close to the gates, and were avoiding the area of the moonbeam that they were apparently seeing, going around it right to the gate.

[GodlyD&D]

The tentacled strangler rotmonsters had come to the gate and had started pounding on it, as Arapegol said aloud to Jaydeen, "Shoot at these still, and I will be using teleportation to put each of them into the area of the cast moonbeam."

Jaydeen did not wait further but put in arrow after arrow to still shoot at these newly arrived monsters. Arapegol then was waving the orb while using his triggering voice to cast the power of teleportation on each of those. Soon they were each within the moonbeam area and moving to come out from there.

[GodlyD&D]

It took rather longer, for reasons that Arapegol and those with him, fighting for defending that city Quadick from the rotmonsters attacking, did not understand, with more teleporting and arrows used, for getting these newer rotmonsters there to disappear from there with the strange teleportation that did not seem to leave them in that world. But those rotmonsters were finally gone, with the same methods used.

Arapegol said to the guard with them on the lookout construction, "The gate must be opened up now. There are no rotmonsters coming this way just now, while all that did come to the gate are removed. We here are going out with our urban camels where we will use the same strategy, which we found is effective, for removing more rotmonsters we find, and we will search for the one who is making the way for these alien beings to come into our world, which must be in the area of the Primal Forest."

The guard said, "I see. I will call for help and have the gate opened for you to go out. But after you are all out the gate will be closed again, as it needs to be through this crisis."

[GodlyD&D]

While the guard was busy, Arapegol turned to Gasha now back to her half giant self, and said, "If you have other useful abilities that can help against the rotmonsters, it would be good now for you to tell us about those. I will still use the teleportation while Jaydeen uses arrows and the bow I provided to him."

In a little while the guard came with another, and between them they worked to get that strong gate open.

[GodlyD&D]

Gasha told Arapegol, as they and those with them came down the steps of the watchtower to where the urban camels left to them waited, that there was only the ability to cast acid to be thrown, or cast a maelstrom, besides the shape-shifting into a beast that she could do.

There was the urban camel for Arapegol, the urban camel for Iperanton, and the urban camel for Jaydeen, while though he tried assuring that urban camel he was the same rider, he was needing Nasa the elfin rider that the urban camel recognized to mount on to ride first and have Jaydeen permitted to ride along with her. This left Galvishar and Gasha, the half giant, without mounts, but Gasha was still able to shape-shift into that beast form, the same huge wolf, which could run fast. The gate was then open for them, and they rode out for the mission to deal with the alien rotmonsters, and then the gate was closed behind them.

[GodlyD&D]

While those who would deal with the invasive strangler rotmonsters were going out from Quadick against them, Klara was already in the inn to which Garvendag had followed where she could stay in a comfortable room. The deputy had come and handed award money to her, as he had already to Lucion and Trysina, for the quest they had aided which accomplished restoring all the changed individuals to how they had been before. He had wanted to award the others, but they went up on the lookout construction at that time, and when he went back again, they had just left and the gate was closed right after them. The guard there told the deputy seeing he had been coming up, "Those ones daring to go out there say they will deal with all those monster creatures out there which are a threat."

The deputy said, "If they do return successful with that, they will each be abundantly more rewarded."

Klara worked her little blade through the small dried fruit with a face depicted on it. She said, mainly to herself, "This should get their attention, and they will have someone come for me."

The cleaning maid said, "The gate is closed, no one comes into this city now."

Klara said, "Oh, I forgot you were here. They really won't open it for anyone?"

[GodlyD&D]

The cleaning maid said, "No ma'am. There are monsters out there now which are a real threat. We are an isolated city and will remain so unless there really are the heroes who will defeat them and get rid of those monsters."

Klara said, "Oh! This really is not my home, anywhere in this city. It would have been better if I did not have to come back here from that long journey for the restoration. But that had to happen, leaving me now stuck here, maybe until all the coins I have with the reward given is all gone."

"Yes, I heard something about those who wanted to go out and be those heroes that would deal with the monsters and get rid of them all. If they are going out to do that, I do hope they really have great power they can use against the monsters, it needs such great power to do that."

[GodlyD&D]

Klara said, "They really better accomplish getting rid of the monsters so the gate would be open, and I would not be staying stuck here. Why, what if they can't? They do not even have the power I have! It would be hopeless for me then!"

The cleaning maid said, "You have a more power to work against the monsters out there than those who would be heroes do? But you stay here instead and fret that they might not accomplish that, because they don't have power that you do?"

"Well! You are saying it in a way that makes it sound like something bad."

"What do you think then?"
