Rock Out

Rock Creatures are a real thing (obviously). They are not born in the traditional sense, instead they are usually an earth spirit or sprite that inhabits a piece of ground for a long enough time that the ground itself becomes a manifestation of them.  This can lead to some awkward issues (say when you are building a house or part of a city and happen to discover that ground you are trying to break is indeed a semi living creature). They tend to be fairly peaceful creatures, even when disturbed they will most of the time just leave and go find somewhere else to sit (I don't understand it either, I mean why exist if only to sit in one place forever? But such is the nature of earth spirits, I tried to ask Valrym about it once and he gave me a dirty look). They are also usually simple minded, which means you can convince them of things that most people would not believe.  That would have been my normal tact with this angry creature, if I wasn't covered in the remains of his fellows and reaking of fire and death (I mean its not like I could just try and say "Wasn't me, this other guy was here" well I could say that but even I'm not that stupid nor is the rock creature).

So what I did was take up my sword and dare the thing to come at me. Because when in the face of something that is death incumbent, best to meet the damn thing head on. The rock creature (which towered over me to the point of almost scraping the ceiling) for its part had the same philosophy.  The creature swung one if its huge rock club arms at me and I darted to the side, and then climbed up the arm and on top of the head to escape out the small hole above me (I said face the danger head on, not die like an idiot).  I heard the creature howling beneath me, but I was free and life was good for me (why not necromance it you ask? BECAUSE ITS NOT ALIVE YOU IDIOT... sorry, because its not alive technically).

Free from my potential cave tomb I ran away from the hole as fast as I could in a direction not currently the one I was in. Which is where I ran into Nidget and his partner Andre.  Yep I ran into my future employee in a cave fleeing a rock monster, isn't it weird how things work out.  And by work out I mean piss me off to no end.

But that collision and meeting will have to wait till tomorrow, very busy day today, lot of weird stuff happened in town and I sadly got involved with some of it (and once again its Nidget's fault).  So next entry little journal!
