Chapter 1
Written by Matthew Sinn AKA Sinbad the Mountain
Sea Tale/Mysterious Object
Thinking hard here I started giving my orders. Men, if by some slim chance. That the mysterious object the Jinn’s fears. Is somewhere hidden inside of this abandon palace. Then we’ve got to find it. For we may never get another chance at this. Understanding this the crewmen began urgently searching around. Yet we were running out of rooms to search. Which was bad, while also hearing a strange sound. Coming from what seem to be a staircase leading somewhere below. Who readied ourselves as a large number of Forbidden Ones came rushing this way. An all of us quickly forced into a fight.

Sea Tale/Burning Stairs
Acting quickly here, Edward an I began slashing at the Forbidden Ones. While also setting them on fire with our torches. Causing many of them to start burning away at the scene. While the rest of the crew stayed back for their own safety. As it wasn’t long before the flames burned out and the black slime monsters beaten. That we slowly headed downstairs. But also looked around the right hand corner. Where there were no signs of anymore Forbidden Ones. Yet something didn’t feel right. As if we were being lured into a clever trap.

Sea Tale/Obvious
With it being completely pitch black further ahead here. Edward began speaking to me. Captain, I don’t think we should go this way. For although I know stopping these Forbidden Ones is important. But this could easily be a trap. I reply. While I do agree. We also can’t let even a single one of them escape. For if the Jinn somehow learns we’re here. Then there’s no telling what he might do. Considering what happened the last time we encountered him. Knowing I was sadly right. Edward soon spoke with a worried expression. Very well captain. But let’s stay alert an be ready for anything.

Sea Tale/Shadows Eyes
Slowly walking forward with our torches ready. Watching for even the slightest movement of the Forbidden Ones. Yet so far we haven’t scene anything. Who were still moving forward an the crew staying close. When we all heard something an before we knew it. This large stone slab came out of the left wall an sealed off the hallway behind us. Which was very bad and quickly got worse. When the Forbidden Ones rushed out to attack us from both sides. An since it was too dangerous to use our torches. When this close to them. Forcing us to rely on only our swords, daggers and axes too.

Sea Tale/Sealed Trap
Fighting as hard as we could here. We held back the Forbidden Ones the best we could. Slashing, chopping and killing as many of them as we could. While also pushing forward down the dark hallway. Unsure of how many more traps were in here. But also didn’t have a choice. As we defeated the enemy forces before us. With me asking Azizi. Can you use your curse to create a way out? He replied. Although I could turn do this captain. It’ll take a while to chop our way out. An even so. The Forbidden Ones can attack us at any time. That or might trigger another hidden trap.

Sea Tale/One Path
Knowing this was bad, I spoke. Then we’ve got no choice men. But to find another way out of here. Knowing I was right. Even if it means going deeper into enemy territory. We pushed forward while also looking for more wall drawings. That might give us a clue. On what that mysterious object might be. When we all heard something moving an before we knew it. Edward was attacked by one of the Forbidden Ones. With what looked like a couple of sword blades sticking out of it’s body. While swinging a two handed sword at him as well. Who was blocking as more of these slimy monsters start appearing and then attacking us again.

Sea Tale/Divided
Forcing Edward into one of the nearby rooms. I was about to rush in and help him out. When the doorway before me suddenly vanished before my eyes. Who couldn’t believe it. As the Forbidden Ones began forcing other members of my crew into other nearby rooms. Which also started to disappear and me quickly giving orders. Hold your ground crewmen. An don’t let them force you into one of the rooms. They understand as they kept fighting and Azizi quickly speaking to me. After slaying one of the monsters before us. Captain, I think theirs some sort of spell down here. Which I think was to help keep the Forbidden Ones from easily escaping. This explained why so many of us just suddenly vanished. But not where they’ve gone.

Sea Tale/Magical Maze
As we were wondering this while fighting off the attacking Forbidden Ones. My first mate Edward was still clashing against the armed Forbidden One before him. As he managed to slice it’s left hand off and then swung his swords hard. Slicing it’s head clean off, before slashing the rest of it. Causing the slime monster to melt before his eyes and then looked outside the doorway. Who could clearly see he was no longer within the same hallway. But in fact inside what looked like an underground cavern. Which made Edward spoke to himself with a very troubled expression. This isn’t good.

Sea Tale/Scorpion Slayer
Looking around the cavern here. Edward couldn’t see anyone as he began calling out. Hello! Is anyone out here?! As he started searching around. When he was quickly being attacked by Forbidden Ones who seem to have parts of what looked like those of giant scorpions apart of their bodies. Who noticed Edward an quickly thrust their scorpion stingers at him. Who dodged while also avoiding some of their pinchers too. As he used his two swords to slash them all apart.Before searching for us.

Sea Tale/Lost Men
Meanwhile, it was back up in the hallway where many of us got separated. Azizi, the small group of crewmen an I were all searching high an low. Who were trying to find the others. But weren’t having much luck here. Yet we kept trying while fighting through these Forbidden Ones. While also calling out. Edward! Crewmen! Where are you?! With nobody answering back. As we kept looking while also growing tired. From all the fighting we’ve been doing. Knowing if we don’t find a way to rest soon. Then getting out of here is going to be a big problem.
