1358 - The Year of Shadows

Eleasias (August) 6

    I told him "I haven't even started yet."
     Domo pulls his swords and said, looking at Sinlon. "Sinlon, sit down in the corner until I get to your punishment."
     Sinlon did as he was told.
     I just watched.
     Domo said "Do you think I wouldn't have control of my own minions?"
     I looked back at Domo. "Well, let's get this over with." We charged each other. I sliced at Domo, but only cut air. At the same time, getting sliced in the arm.
     Domo laughed and said "The good thing about this weapon is, they can take care of Lycanthropes as well as mortals."
     I said "You're not quite immortal. You can be killed."
     Domo said "Not by the likes of you." and he charged at me.
     I flipped over him and kicked him to the ground, as I landed. "Don't be so sure." I swung my sword, cutting Domo's arm off at the elbow.
     Domo yells in pain.
     Sinlon comes to his senses. "What happened?"
     I said "He had you under his control. Now let's go."
     Sinlon got up and said "Ok, the next room is the armory. You should be able to find your weapons and armor in there."
     I knelt down beside Domo, and grabbed his swords off the ground. I'll trade you."
     Domo passed out.

     We enter the armory and I retrieved my rapiers and armor, but left my long swords. We left the guild through another secret passage, leading us directly outside of the city.
     Three wererats come out of the sewer, from where we escaped from. I said "We're not out of this yet."
     Sinlon jumped one of the wererats, taking him to the ground.
     I twisted and cut one in the chest.
     The wererat swung at me, but only got my clothes.
     The third one knocked me to the ground, and I was about to be killed by the two. I couldn't move my arms to get my swords to kill the thing. Then the one that was holding my arms down, fell over. Then I swung my sword, cutting the head off the other one.
     Sinlon was taking care of his.
     I got up and saw a pudgy man wearing a robe, and carrying a crossbow.
     The wererat that fell over was getting back up, but only long enough to find my sword in his heart.
     Sinlon came over to me after finishing his enemy.
     The man with the crossbow came over too.
     Sinlon changed back into a halfling.
     The man said "You two ok?"
     I said "Fine, thanks for your help. Who are you?"
     The man said "I'm Jinol Maltin." Jinol turns to Sinlon. "I told you not to come here."
     Sinlon said "I know, but if I didn't, I wouldn't have found Dilan here."
     Jinol looks back at me. �Nice meeting you Dilan."
     I said "You too. So I guess you two know each other."
     Sinlon said "Yes, we travel together."
     I said "Do you two want to join me on my travels?"
     Sinlon said "Sure, where are we headed?"
     I said "To Shadowdale."
     Jinol said "This should be fun."

    We all traveled to Shadowdale. When we got there, we met up with Elminster. He greeted us "How have you been, Dilan?"
     I said "I'm fine, Milo and Kes got married, and Kes is pregnant."
     El smiled "I know, I got a message. And who are yer friends?"
     I said "This is Sinlon and Jinol, they helped me escape the thief�s guild in Calimport."
     Elminster shakes their hands.
