The Expedition in 16th Hall

The journey have began when the six of us: myself,Khalis,Elisbeth,Tagos,Eireden and Reiven journeyed towards Moria from Imladris.It was a long journey as we traveled through the lands of Eregion and south Troll Shaws.The wind was blowing gently as we stared at the grand Wall of Moria built on the mountain itself.The dwarves were greedy that they didn't stoped from digging and that is how the unleashed Durin's Bane. That thought passed through my mind several times but it didn't spread dread to my mind only intrest in finding what is Durin's Bane....What could it be? I wondered...but not even my imagination could spawn what dwarves were describing....Fire and shadow...two words of dread...

We entered Moria carefully as the gate opened when the moon was out of the clouds.The breeze of death was haunting those forgotten halls. We traveled through The Great Delving. Fallen bridges and orcs were present in this first hall of Moria. We passed through blood and steel as endless orcs felt under the warbands wrath. Many goblins and orcs made camps in this halls but we burnt the ones we met but none stood a chance against us. As we passed The Great Delving. We camped at the gates that led us to Zelem-melek. It was a night I will never forget...or atleast call it a night as the dark gloom of Moria was overwhelming this forgotten halls....Not even my feet could relax as the yells and sounds of orcs were heard from far...but only from far...dum....dum....dum....dum...the sounds were hiting the walls...a long night it was...and not even any of us slept...

The next ''morning'' we chosed to continue our roads. Even now when i remember i am still amazed at the greediness and crafts that the dwarves could do.This halls with crystals..and the height of it. I regret i didn't saw them when they were still under Durin's leadership. We traveled through Zelem-melek pretty safe. No orcs or goblins were patroling there. We reached Nud Melek and started going south through some great halls. Many orcs and goblins were there but they were no problem for us. Deadly and tactical to describe our fellowship manouvers. We moved swiftly and entered the 16th hall. We started killing orcs that were ordinary. After going lower in those halls something unimaginable has occured. Orcs but not ordinary orcs..poisoned bodies with red skin and glowing mushrooms on them. It must be the poison we were sent to to be the one to blame for this abominations...I thought...but what kind of poison or creatures we will find?...

We traveled further as the disease were more and more. We reached a room with a wheel and two pools with bright green water in it. I took a sample of that water in a vial. It was clearly poisoned. I rotated the wheel and then a sound appeared a door was trieing to get opened but we realised that we need to rotate another wheel to do it. Reiven found the other room and then i rotated the wheel. The walls were almost hidden under the tick mutation. We killed almost all the orcs and one of their commander. We then went deeper and deeper...The smell and my senses felt that we are nearly at the end. As we were running we finally arrived at a creature that wasn't looking so friendly but we decided to atack it so he won't atack us. It was a hard fight but hope didn't left us. The creature was summoning big mushrooms that were having some strange effect upon us. Tagos dealt with them as his swift bow sent arrows to them. We defeated him with the might of our fellowship. Deadly and tactical as I said. No orc could stand against our might. We took some samples of the mushroom and then left as a door was leading us out...The expedition was over and succesfully...Who knows what lies in the future for us now? but we know that no orc can stand against our might....
