Game Thread: Alara

Your spear strikes straight through the hollow and it turns to ash as you absorb it's soul. The remaining hollow continues to swing ineffectually.

Your strike is true, the hollow strikes back catching you off balance.

The hollow is still standing and lunges for you but you easily dodge around it.

Your strike finishes the hollow of and you absorb its soul.As you cast your eye around you, there are still hollows about but you would likely need to depart the path to attract their attention. The path winds up from here, towards the entrance to the valley where the sheer cliffs press in close to the path.

The path becomes stairs as you leave the valley. Clouds part and for a brief moment the sun shines upon you. At the in trance to the valley is a stone circle. Some of the stones still stand but most have been slowed to fall. There is a knight sitting on one of these toppled stones he notices your arrival but quickly returns his attention to a small black object in his hands.

From here you can see much of the surrounding country side. a huge stone fortress dominates the otherwise barren landscape.

The knight sounds quite despondent, he doesn't look up from the black sprite in his hands. I am Gallek of Thander, and I am disappointed. I was kind of hoping you were a hollow hehe...

You know the strange thing is I can't remember. Really I'm just waiting for my time to join those down there, hehe. he indicates to the way you have come up.

Expecting? It happens to all of us eventually. I am just done fighting it, waiting for it to come.

Well it would help things along hehe.

He indicated to a path that heads down a slop, hooking around and out of sight. That path leads to the coast, there's a small village there, we there was one. he indicates to a steep path that heads up the mound. Theres a burial mound up there somewhere, though I've never seen it. he indicates to a fourth path And that path leads to the firekeep.
