The Bottomburn force enters the war room only to discover that 'M' has fled the scene. Lytra sensing that it was another trap went first into the war room as she sees a localized map of Bottomburn, Lake Deepbottom and the rest of the region. Lytra looks at the note more closely as Tymekeeper gives it to her.
"GONE FISHING ? The story hangs in balance and he goes FISHING,, Arrrrrrrr! It makes me boiling mad! Someone better restrain me before I smash something!"
"Take it easy Lytra, don't worry. You got to keep it together."
"I think that we all agree on this one Lytra, nothing can be gained with losing our cool. Besides we still have to look for Danidar and Morgan."
"Yes, you're right, but think that Danidar and Morgan might rejoin us on their own. If I'm not mistaken, they can use the same procedure we used to cross the cavern and get back here."
"Remember what we said about that Torner. Anyway when we last looked at the map there was supposed to be another exit one leading down to some sort of holding area and a secret exit leading to Lake Deepbottom. If 'M' had indeed gone fishing as his note said then he would've used the secret exit."
"I found the sercet exit, let's go! If we can get to Lake Deepbottom then perhaps we can get 'M' ."
"Are you coming Lytra? "
"I'll catch up with you. Anyway someone needs to stay behind to tell Morgan and Danidar what we've found and I've volunteer."
"You're right, good luck Lytra."
The party left through the secret exit. Now only Lytra remained in the war room as she searches she discover documents and a journal of some kind. She also finds evidence that 'M' has prisoners in holding cells. She reads the journal entry.
Gathering all the info she can the war room she makes her way down to the holding area. When she gets there she sees the holding cells are full of Violet Elf preist. Finding a 'M' shaped key on a hook she releases them.
" That ought to put a damper on 'M's timetable "
She also notices two strangly familer forms laying on the bottom of one of the cells in the far back. As she got closer she notices they are Morgan and Danadar.
"We thought we lost you for good! Did 'M' capture you also ? "
"It take's more than a dragon to keep us down. Acutally we fell to the bottom of the cavern and right threw a trap door that put us here. Say where's everyone else?"
"They went to Lake Deepbottom to go after 'M'. I remained behind for when you returned and to help you get back."
"We're all set then. lets go to find the others."
"I can teleport us there.....LYTE TELEPORT!"
With that the group appeared on the shore of Lake Deepbottom as Lytra spots Torner and the others persuing 'M'.
