Editing Stranded in fantasy (section)

==Journal Entry 233==

It took half a day to get there.  We rented Bikes, it was cheaper than horses and faster then walking.  I'm sure we looked ridiculous.  So we managed to find this dungeon.  Sure enough, I'm picking up minds inside.  So we go in cautiously.  Jason takes the lead, doing his thing.  Bugbears.  Holy shit.  I've only seen one or two and at a distance.  They're feral.  There's about 20 or so inside scattered all throughout the place.  Jason takes out the front two sentries before they even know what's going on.  After that, all hell breaks loose.  One that Jason didn't see yells out an alarm.  Alex starts throwing around magic like a madman, lightning, fire, color sprays.  The bugbears come running with bows and axes, blades and the like.  Avery decides that they're evil enough and lights up like a holy beacon and goes in swinging.  I'm nearly blinded by what's going on but I do my best at fucking up their archers minds and making them shoot each other.  Jason's apparently got no trouble seeing with that ruby eye of his and he gets in there.  They pull a retreat and we advance slowly, me pointing out their ambushes, Jason clearing their traps.  The whole place smells like wet dog and sulfur.  After we're done, we start picking through the place.  Some coinage, a few pieces of gear that's worth keeping.  In the back we find what looks like a big glowing vase sitting on an altar next to some tombs.  Avery states that it's evil.  Well none of us are going to touch it.  We start looking for something we can use as tongs when there's a sudden bang and one of the tombs slides open and a fucking Lich walks out.  He looks at us, he looks at the massacred bugbears, looks at the vase thing, then looks back to us.  We're having a stare down, not a word is said.  He then quietly grabs his Vase, steps back and teleports out.  Thank god.  I didn't want to deal with a fucking Lich and I guess he didn't want to deal with us.  Anyways, we made it back to town around nightfall, collected our reward and went back to Raina's place and got some rest.
