Twelfth session of The Abyss: Inside of the ruins of the dessert.
------------------------------------------
After reaching the oasus and stocking on potions and weapons, the team goes to the Ruins of Zao. It looks like a big underground dungeon, ful of bats, monster staues and some troll-like monsters. There a lot of pots and amphoras that are there just to decorate, and I spent quite some time trying to break them with Mieu's power to see what was inside. Must be those Zelda reflexes. Not a very complicated dungeon, so I take advantage of it and grind a lot. Mieu finds some kind of power that allows him to destroy rocks, so that's nice. Once I feel I have enough experience, I continue to the deepest part of the dungeon. There, Sync, Largo and Asch are doing something with Ion. The team ask the generals to give them Ion back, they say no, and they fight. Sync and Largo vs our protagonists, Asch is too lazy to join the fray. The battle is quite difficult despite my grinding, lucky that I was stocking healing items before the battle. After I defeat them, Asch calls his companions pathetics because of their defeat (then why didn't you join the fight?). They offer the team a deal, in exchange for leaving the generals go, they give them Ion back. If they don't accept, they blow up the ruins and everyone dies. Our protagonists accept the deal, and they exit the ruins. Largo seems to know natalia from somewhere, but for now there's not that much info. Once out, Ion thanks them for their help, and ell them he's been forced to do something fonon-related for them.
Once they exit the Zao Ruins, the team goes to Chesedonia to take a boat there. But suddenly, Luke starts to have one of those psycho headaches, and it seems like he's going to attack the team! Luckily he passes out. What the Hell, Luke IS being possessed, we need a exorcist! Will we find one next time?
