Chapter 16

Freshly Heated Chicken Noodle Soup

The Dea Latis approached the large white cloud from above. As they drew closer, a structure previously hidden in the cloud became visible. Situated at the end of a large platform, it was presumably meant to give airships a place to land.

“Mister Malarkey, be thar any way fer this ship to land on yon island?” asked Captain K’her.

“No, captain. This vessel was built for the sea. It has no landing gear. We could tie it to a post to stop it from drifting while you’re away.”

“Arr, do that, then.”

Tasha said, “My fast leveling ability will only aid the first six people who party with me. Who’s coming?”

Ari cleared his throat. “Pan and I will come. Captain K’her wants to come as well.”

Pollyanna addressed Pan. “I’ll sit this one out. Please dismiss me and resummon me later if needed.” She turned to Tasha. “Make sure to practice those exercises.”

Pan nodded and dismissed Pollyanna, who vanished into a cloud of ethereal mist.

“I’ll come, too,” said Kegan. “As much as the captain and I don’t get along, I could use the extra experience.”

Tasha counted to five using her fingers. “That’s five. Anyone else?”

Kazezu landed nearby and approached the dungeon entrance. His body was twice as wide as the doorway. It doesn’t look like I’ll be able to fit. I miss being small enough to fit through doors.

Slimon and Hermes spoke up at the same time. They faced one another in a game of rock-paper-scissors, which lasted several rounds, to determine who’d go. Slimon formed the shape of scissors at the end of his tentacle, but Hermes had chosen paper by holding out an open palm.

“Pfffpt!” Slimon victoriously declared.

“Fine,” Hermes grumbled. “You win. I’ll just stay here and guard the airship.”

Mister Malarkey said, “I’ll send several gnomes to harvest treasure chests and return with them to the ship. We’ll sell them later.”

A ladder was lowered from the Dea Latis which allowed the away party to descend to the platform. Once they’d reached the bottom, a chain was lowered. The captain locked it to one of the nearby posts.

The structure looked like it was made of white marble, and it led downward into the cloud itself. They opened a large iron doorway to an even larger room with several NPCs. A single doorway led down to the inner dungeon.
