Suddenly, Al'Kabor found his
feet had sunk into the ground
a good foot or so and he was
unable to walk. Surrounding
him on four sides were small
creatures that appeared to be
made of earth itself. They
grabbed at his robes and
began pummeling him with
their fists of rock and dirt.
Without even thinking,
| blinded by the sheer audacity
of these creatures to even
dare assault the mighty
Al'Kabor and dirty his best
robe, he begun to summon
forth the magical energy to
unleash his wrath upon these
creatures. The small
elementals, standing no
taller then the shortest
halfling, were each blasted
to bits by the sheer power of
|
|
the energy released in all
directions by the mighty
wizard. Clods of dirt and
pebbles flying through the
air were the only evidence
that the creatures were even
there a moment before.
"Why are these elementals all
over the place?" He pulled
his feet free from the ground
and walked over to a cleric
| of Rodcet Nife who was
tending to another victim of
the elemental attack who
faired far worse then the
wizard. He asked, "You!
Cleric! Did these elementals
rise from the ground or did
somebody summon all of
these?"
The cleric finished
bandaging the wounded
|

traveler and said hurriedly,
"Sir, I have no idea. Excuse
me, many are hurt or in peril
from this attack. I must take
my leave."
Al'Kabor shouted to no one
in particular, "Bah! I'd
gather more information from
a wall then I would from you
people!" He continued to walk
up the stone path. Here and
| there earth elementals were
assaulting folks outside the
city in the hills of Qeynos.
The Jagged Pine Treefolk
from Surefall Glade were on
full alert. The rangers and
druids that called the glade
home were doing their best
to stem the tide of the
elemental invasion.
Wandering the hills, Al'Kabor
|
|
walked about blasting any
elemental he came across to
kingdom come. He did this not
in defense of the hills nor
for any sort of loyalty to
the fine city of Qeynos but
more in retaliation for his
days of lost work and as
therapy for the general
feeling of rage and
displeasure he was
experiencing. Today was
| not a good day at all and
it was about to get much
worse.
