They climbed down one after another into the dark well. The smell of dirt and water was resonating from the bottom of the well.
"Ziegs, are we almost there?" Cry asked while climbing down.
"We're here now. But it looks like we'll have to walk through water." Ziegs cautioned
They all climbed down and stood in the well water. The water went up to everyone's knees, except Cry (it went to his mid-shin)
"Cold, cold, cold!" Jund hissed as he stepped in the cool water.
"Deal with it, nerd." Snake taunted.
Jund slugged Snake on the arm. Scott realized what a mistake he make once Snake turned around and did the same punch to his arm. He was physically stronger than him.
But he wasn't better at magic than him. So he thought of a good spell to use on Snake. Just as they got on the bank of sand and dirt next to where the well's water supply was Jund turned Snake into a sheep. Surprisingly as a sheep Snake still had his bandanna on him.
Snake gave a "b-a-a-a." Ask he transformed."Jund! Why did you- b-a-a- do this to me?" Snake demanded. He was still able to talk despite being transformed into a sheep.
The others couldn't help but laugh
"Dude this is awesome!" Russ exclaimed while fist bumping Jund.
"Thanks, man!" Jund thanked Russ
Cry was laughing uncontrollably the entire time.
"I say he makes quite a good looking sheep. He's got some nice wool on him." Ziegs said before bursting into a laugh.
"Oh, come on!" Snake said angrily "Change me b-a-a-a-a-ck."
"No, I don't think I will." Jund said "you called me a nerd."
"Well, you should change him back if we have to fight." Cheyenne pointed out "I don't think he would be a good archer if he has hooves."
"Yeah." Cry said while drying off his tears from laughing too hard. "I agree, you should change him back just to be safe."
"Aw man." Jund said. "Fine...."
With a flick of his wrist he transformed Snake back into his normal elf body.
"Thanks." Snake said hostility
"No problem." Jund grinned.They all spotted a cave and headed into it. It was very dark so Russ carried a torch (the same one Cry used in the first cave that they still had.)
There wasn't really much in the cave, it was all just trails cut into stone that was underground.
But there was something odd. A faint echoey sound bounced off of the cave walls.
"Did you hear that?" Russ asked.
"Hear what?" Cry asked.
"Yeah, I heard it too." Snake said.
Bouncing off the walls was what sounded like a man's angered yell. It grew louder and louder as they got closer. It was still hard to make out because it echoed.
They saw a light glowing from a room where they could clearly hear what the man was saying.
"One more time and I'll make sure you won't walk again! You hear me!"
"Yes! Yes! I'm sorry!" Whimpered a frightened woman's voice.
Russ turned to the group and whispered "okay, we have to go in there!"
"Agreed. The voice sounds familiar." Ziegs whispered.
They charged in, weapons drawn. Ziegs held out a rapier that none of the group had seen before.
What they saw was a horrific scene.The room was made of stone, like the rest of the cave, and it was lit with multiple candles. There was blood smeared all over the floor and walls. And in the middle of the room stood a man, who appeared in his fourties, standing over a girl cowering on the floor with her hands and feet bound. She looked about 20 and she was beaten and bruised. Her hair was messy and her face was covered with tears. Cry, Russ, and the others new that this was trouble.
"What do you think you're doing with that girl!" Cry yelled out to the middle-aged man.
The man looked up and smiled.
"G-guys. I know him," Ziegs said, horrified.
"He's the mayor of Jawelle! Mike Quimby! And that girl lives in town... I think her name is Stella."
The mayor's smile grew wider
"Ah, yes. Hello Ziegs. Pleasant meeting you here." Mayor Quimby bowed for the adventurers.
"H-help. Please..." Stella spoke up.
"I didn't tell you to speak!" The mayor shouted with fury before he kicked her.
Cheyenne gasped. Cry and Russ gaped. Jund and Snake both looked enraged.
But Ziegs was the one to be the most effected. It was her own mayor that was doing this!
"You'd better damn stop Mayor or I will smash your face in!" Russ yelled, his natural lawfulness made him threaten Quimby.
"I don't think I will. In fact. I think I'll kill all of you and add you to my collection! Even you Ziegs!"
