Valrym's Gambit

"I can only send one of you in there, its not like this is a normal thing to do." Trezlan was lying on the top of the bar, no other customers were in the Tavern, though it was around noon, most people don't start drinking that early.

"Can I say that I'm the worst person for this job?" I didn't want to do what Valrym was suggesting because well I'm a coward, and the very idea of going into Trezlan's mind to free him from his problem was terrifying.

"I was about to suggest you do it since this is probably all your fault." Captain Therod promised Valrym she would not arrest him for illegal magic, it wasn't a great promise but it was better than anything else we had going for us.

"I too think you should do it Nidget, if anything you are a master of getting into places you should not be, think of this as the ultimate place you should not be." Andre is always super helpful, and by helpful I mean an absolute dick at the moment you need it least.

"Well its decided then."

"Wait no it wasn't, these two assholes threw me under the cart and now you say its decided?"

"Works for me." All of them in unison. I almost wanted to run away, but I figured they'd just catch me and tie me to a chair or something. I sighed heavily to show my displeasure and then allowed Valrym to start his weird brain magic, well I thought it would be a ritual, but one moment I was standing next to Trezlan and the next I was in what appeared to be a cave filled with dead bodies.  I was still myself from a cursory glance (thank the gods for small favors) and I was armed though if that would help me remained to be seen.

"RRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" Trezlan half naked and crazy eyed came sprinting by me, I was about to ask why he was running when I turned to face the direction he came from and saw a wall of bodies steadily advancing down the cave.  I'd like to say this was the most disturbing thing I saw in Trezlan's mind, but alas, it was the start of the crazy, not the end of it.
