It was after the performances of the Maiden’s Fancy when our friend, Tamriel, came out of the back stage dressing room with something clutched in her hand. Making a bee-line for the bar, she turned revealed the small, carved, ratongan locket to Ikmacheck, brother of Nikatell.
Ikmacheck gasped and said that it was given to Santinea as a gift some time ago.. these words drew the attention of all who cared for Santinea’s well being and a small crowd gathered. Magical inspection shown little traces of where it had come from, nor the whereabouts of our missing friend.
Just then, Uurson’s eyes glazed as a mental cry for help faintly invaded his senses. He heard sounds of pounding and echoes, as if in a cave.. Explaining his vision, we broke up into teams.
The last place we know Santinea was.. Butcherblock Mountains. Uurson and Aloucia made their way to the Dwarven city of Kaladim, while Jethal and Tamriel sprinted off for Klak’anon before calling over the guild coms for Tilaru to search the Fallen Gate.
Though Uurson and Aloucia searched and scoured the kobalt infested mines, not a trace was found. Tilaru’s efforts were the same. No trace of our little gnome.
Jethal and Tamriel fought their way through the clockworks, searching for any trace.. when the came across the Dam, deep within the caverns of Klak’anon.. and there, a tiny toy doll with “Santinea” inscribed into the foot. Jethal recognized it as one of Santi’s childhood toys, that she had kept in her house. Before anything more could be said. Ambush!
Jethal and Tamriel found themselves suddenly surrounded by clockworks, large and small, circling them.. the whirling gears and puffs of smoke clogging their senses. After a fierce battle, broken carnage of bent metal and pools of oil soiled the ground. Tamriel slumped to the ground, a silver spike through her shoulder. Jethal got them out and back to the Legion Forest, where he bound Tamriels wound.
