The sunspoke stretches its little arms and wriggles its little
|
|
fingers. It sighs happily, luxuriating in the extra fuel. It burns
|
|
twice as bright, shooting a hot jet of bright yellow flame up into
|
|
the parachute. The sunspoke starts to glow a molten red, and you
|
|
start to rise faster.
|
|
|
|
As you rise up over the peak, you can finally spot the Runesocesius.
|
|
The grand hotel is draped over the top of the mountain, clinging to
|
|
it like a dragon resting on its hoard.
|
|
|
|
The "cyberplasms" as Confidence called them have docked to the side
|
|
of a tower on the other side of the peak from you. They have shot a
|
|
large hole in the side of the tower, and you can see them now
|
|
starting to zipline into the building. A thick plume of black smoke
|
|
billows out of the side of the tower, carrying pages and pages of
|
|
loose paper into the air with it. They rain down like snow. The tower
|
|
must house an extensive library.
|
|
|
|
You cautiously pull back a corner of the bloody blankets, jeweled
|
|
dagger raised and ready to strike. You reveal a small bloody furry
|
|
blob. You see two big round eyes, a short-snouted face, and enormous
|
|
pointed ears. It quickly looks away from you, chirps pathetically,
|
|
and trembles as it cowers in place. You have found a frightened
|
|
hemogoblin stowaway!
