Durham's Log and Sketches of Klackons

 (written by Joel, concerning the recent delve into the Klackon Spire and earning his character Durham 100 xp per level)

Voyage into the 6th House

Our party gathered at Cothan-under-star, formed from a call to adventure by the Survivors of the Tel. Sesel gave some backstory and intelligence on the 6th House, informing us why it is feared among the other Klackon and what dangers the Survivors had encountered in their previous adventures.

We gathered out supplies for our expedition and set out through the gates of the fisherman. We arrived at the Great Spire and were greeted with much apprehension. To be fair I don't know how well I would receive nine armed individuals at my doorstep. Luckily we saw a familiar face in Zac-atchet.

"Ah, the pests from the basement are back" he said.

"Ah, Bartholomew, you have returned--and with company!"

We explained why we came and we were escorted to see the Princess of the fifth house and her court. We asked if they would allow us entry into the sixth house. They were dismissive, thinking us incapable of dealing with the dangers of the sixth house. So I gave a stirring speech, telling them our strength was greater than the sum of our parts. And that we were a cleansing light come to cast away the shadow that holds the sixth house. My speech was accepted by a massive clicking that came from the Klackon court.

The princess allowed us entry on conditions that we bring them any sixth house research to be destroyed, while any other spoils we could claim as our own.

We entered the sixth house and found a great many treasures as well as dangers. We encounter worm like parasites that took possession of the Klackon body but consumed the head. We also fought oversized beetle-wasp like insects. The treasures were too numerous to count, so I shall talk of the one that intrigued me the most, which would be the Barkodai codex and metal ingots. I have done research into the Barkodia, so it is nice to find writing and resources made by them to hopefully further my research.

However, the battle with the parasites was a struggle. Their acid spray is something I should think of a way to counter. I also shall seek martial training at the Kantor to improve my tactics in battle.
