Oh f***, "wait Gale!" I shout, running in after her.

Any room left to join?
Cant believe I missed this

Eric turns around as Gale desperatly shouts "watch out"
but its to late.
the man grabs eric and mutters under his breath
"ilikepie ilikepie to another world we'll fly"
then a black spot opens in midair and the man and eric get sucked in

MISSION 1:
SAVE ERIC

i heard the shout i looked up and see birds flying up starteld by the shout i get up and start running my axe held up high the taught going in my head is 'trouble' and just by that thaught i run even faster i raise my axe ready to strike
i can anly guess it is someone who i travel with that is in danger i arrive at the spot where the shout was from and i drop my axe i only see the Gnome and Gale ( i turn to Gale and introduce me i am atlervetok the minotaur and who are you? did that Gnome scare you my dear Gale?? and i wait for the response of Gale while i turn around and look threatening to the Gnome,ready to charge and slash my axe into the Gnomes head on the moment the elf says yes.i am growling dangerously to the Gnome wich race is worse an orc or a Gnome i don't know wich i hate most (remember the fact we never met)

*drops axe and rudlly takes the map,looks at it*im looking at the map very carefully i try to figure it out but all i see is badly drawn lines and circles (why do they think it's a map)oh wel ill give him the map back and take a deep breath and say no i can't figure it out but all i know is that we have to find our friend back and capture his kidnapper when we do give me and my axe 5 minutes with him he will talk!!!
*turns to the Gnome and bows deeply*im sorry i just hate your race i can't help it but i will get along with you to save our friend
your race killed my best friend in an assasination on a party just after we won the war with the dwarves

OK havent recieved a reply from ilikepieyum so Im just going to join

Having observed the intruders long enough to be sure that although accompanied by an unmannered minotaur they were not of an evil alignment, Skalathrax stepped from the shadows. An undead warlock, cloaked in robes and lamellar of fuligin, the colour darker than black so black the folds, and in the darkness himself as well, seemed to be nonexistent, he spoke:
"I couldnt help but overhear, mainly because I was debating killing the elf and taking her cloak, but I understand you have a map? I have been crawling this dungeon for some time, the map may provide some insight on the loot rooms. Or at least the exit."
As the startled intruders wheeled round in surprise, he made a placating gesture, both hands palms opened outwards to show he meant no harm, and said "Of course I no longer wish to kill the elf. It is the farthest thought from my mind. The map please?"

well, a lots happened

you look at the map and you realize it must be his way of teleporting...
where the circles are he can teleport to another connected circle!
you realize the map is unimportant, until you drop it on the ground and read the message on the back!!!!

Hidden away in the darkest corners
this is the land of the mourners
you live to die and die alive
if one dies another survives

Some kind of riddle?

Hint: lots of hidden meanings
