Mintwallin
Do you remember the Ancient Temple north of Thais, where I was almost killed by a Demon Skeleton? I went back there with my friends Jack Bonecrusher and Wilfred of Mayhem. This time we were fully prepared, and ready for the worst. So we walked trough tunnels, deeper and deeper... I felt the weight of the earth above me almost pressing on my shoulders, as I don't like to walk in narrow tunnels deep underground. Strange enough, at a place where we expected nothing else than some lurking undeads, we ran into an outpost of minotaurs. Quickly we eliminated them, wondering why they would hang out there. Soon we discovered why... A little deeper underground, the tunnels seemed to be more cultivated, and more often used. The walls were smoother there, and on the floor we found some traces of more intense use by civilized creatures. Then suddenly we stood there surprised, in front of a huge... CITY WALL! Deep down underground, there is a complete city, populated by minotaurs. Minotaurs, that became very clear, they didn't give us much time to look at their town. As we stood there in awe of the enormous city wall and the impressive gate,
some of their biggest guards decided to charge our small team. They stormed over the bridge, and right behind them came some archers that fired bolts in our global direction. It did not scare us, we were excited to see the city... So we killed the guards and walked careful trough the gate in order to explore the town. It was really amazing. Inside, there were shops, houses, a blacksmith, barracks, even a small park, in fact everything that we could possibly expect in a human town.
We did not see many minotaurs inside, maybe they were all hiding after we killed their guards so easy. Anyway, when we entered some more buildings, we found a human prisoner in a tower. The poor man had a long beard, he was there obviously for a long time, kidnapped by the minotaurs. We tried to talk with him, but he did respond normal. Like, when we asked him where we maybe could find the key of his prison, he just giggled about a riddle. Of course we wanted to take him out and with us, so we entered the main building, which we avoided earlier. It was heavily guarded. But now we had a goal, finding the key to that prison. No mercy. Not much to tell about it, first we slaughtered every minotaur that was stupid enough not to flee. At last, we were alone with an older minotaur, and we decided to spare his life. We asked his name, but he refused all cooperation. But we found a letter and found out that he was king Markwin of the minotaurs... Wilfred used some of his more advanced techniques to make him more cooperative (involving a rusty cleaver, a rope and two chairs), and the King told us the key should be somewhere in the cellars,
where all his old stuff was moved after his latest clean-up. So we went there and searched everywhere for the key, until we found it. We went back to the prison, and with the key we were able to open the prison. We took the strange man with us, but once down he started to behave very weird. First, he started to run trough a huge field of wheat, ruining it all. We didn't care much, after all we killed most of the poulation of this city. But it was strange. Then he started to shout at us in a language we didn't know. He runned trough the town to the place where we killed some archers earlier, equipped himself with a crossbow and bolts and started to aim at us. We glanced a moment at eachother and decided that it was enough. We put him in the prison again and delivered the key at the King, and left the city. On a sign we saw the name: Mintwallin. Maybe we are the only living people that know about it, and saw this legendary city with our own eyes.
