Sports

Continuing forward, we wandered through a lot of halls, when Cade stopped in front of a wall. He patted it for a while, then it slid into the ceiling. There were some boxes on the other side, but they didn't smell like anything. The wall closed again, but it opened a few seconds later. Perhaps it was another game! I went back outside, since I remembered that I was supposed to find lizardmen, and there was one in the back of the group. Maybe he was hiding a snake. Unfortunately, according to Zoostick this lizardman didn't speak people talk. Instead he just hissed and spat a lot. Zoostick understood it though. Apparently the lizardman just wanted to know where I got the necklace, and that Slisth, along with the others, were dead. Promptly, we realized that it was our turn to play, so Zoostick and I tried to find the right place to hit on the wall. The lizardman banged on the wall and it opened! Maybe he'll tell me how he did that.

Cade was standing at another door, and he was shoving little metal sticks into the lock. He seems to play this game a lot. I asked Zoostick about the smoke-door game, and he said it wasn't a game, and that a "trap" had caused everything. It didn't seem like a very good trap anyway, since you can't eat whatever's caught if it's going to get burned.

And also playing with the boxes, by opening them in funny ways, was another short person, Gribble or something. Anyway, earlier he kept saying he wasn't tasty so I had asked Zoostick if this was why we needed "holy" relish. He said they were looking for a holy relic, not relish. Cade said a holy relic was a very special item. He still didn't say why we needed it though!

Continuing on, Cade kept playing with locks (how come we don't get to play?) and we eventually stopped in a room with a desk. The draka picked up a ring that shot fire, and it burned the book a little bit. We found another room a little bit later, that had some glass bottles, I asked the draka for them and filled them with water (and made rain on Silens!) Zoostick took the bottles.

We left after that, and came to another more interesting room. There were a couple nice blankets on the walls, and lots of colorful tiles on the ground. Cade advanced, jumping around in a funny way. I'll have to ask him how this game works too! Unfortunately, he seemed to be playing badly, since he kept saying bad things and falling down. He looked a little drained from his falls so I used a spell to restore what I could. I should have had another ready, but I didn't. He had taken the blanket from the far wall, and was wearing it. It looked really nice, and it had shaped itself into a good piece of breastplate. Since Cade was having trouble walking, Zoostick and I helped him back to the room where I made it rain, and I fixed the book a little. Then the short lizards went to rest.
