@Tiger you as next as Virgil has decided to skip his turn.
@Virgil as you already know, you are the next writer!
@Hyde you are next!
“Glad to hear it,” Rainbow said with a smile, “we should-” but before he could finish his thought, the green thing was interrupted by the sight of something flying towards them. It was Flower and he was carrying the central crystal! It was smaller than Caleb expected. The gull then flew up and dropped the brown gem, breaking it in the process.
“…well, that makes things easier,” Rainbow stated matter-of-factly, “let’s get out of here.” “Yeah,” Caleb agreed. As they both understood it, the crystal was the only thing that kept the spiders awake, so now they would just sleep and starve to death. As the two were talking, Flower flew to Caleb’s sword, grabbed it, and flew to the boy. Dropping the sword, the bird perched itself on Caleb’s shoulder.
The kid smiled, happy to have his blade back, and petted Flower. “Thank you,” Caleb said with a smile, picking up his sword as he walked out of the chamber with Ribbon and Rainbow.
After a little bit of silence as the group walked through the jungle, Rainbow asked “soooo...kid, there’s something I’ve meant to ask you this whole time. Why exactly are you out in the middle of the ocean by yourself?”
“Well, my village is very sick. A ton of people came down with a disease and I can’t let them die, so I left to find a cure.”
Rainbow recoiled, apparently afraid of catching the sickness. “Oh relax,” Caleb lightly chided, “if I had it, my eyes would be solid black and I’d be in no condition to do much. Anyway, our kingdom’s doctors are busy healing soldiers from the front lines, so they just quarantined Eagletown and hoped for the best. The Elder Eagle said not to go, but I had to. I’m not letting them die!” This last part, he loudly declared with determination that startled his green companion.
Rainbow took a moment to take that in, thinking. Then he finally responded with “I’ve been alive many years and have never heard of that. Really, do you even know where you’re going?”
“Not really,” Caleb sheepishly responded, “I just figured I’d find someone out west who would know what to do.”
“Ugh, why am I not surprised,” Rainbow replied with scorn. But he reflected, adding “but this does give me an idea. I never met the guy, but the crew mentioned having a skeleton doctor back home that they’d go to when they were sick. The Captain said he was the best in the city, and I’d trust him with my life. I need to go back there anyway to give Ribbon back to John’s wife, so maybe if we go to Thorn City this doctor can get you your cure?”
“Skeleton?” Caleb asked with a tone of concern.
“Yeah, he’s undead,” Rainbow said, “but don’t worry, kid, the Captain said that Roger’s one of the nicest guys he’s ever met.”
Caleb considered it as they walked. A plan was better than no plan, Ribbon did need to go home, plus Rainbow had saved his life. And if this didn’t work, there were probably other people there who could help him. “Sounds like a plan!” Caleb said with a smile.
Rainbow smiled back at the boy. “Great! Well, here’s our ride,” the green thing stated as they walked up to a wooden sloop. This boat had enough room for a dozen dwarfs plus their god. Thankfully, it was small enough to be piloted by a boy and his green friend, and the process of getting it into the ocean was surprisingly easy. They had built the thing on logs on top of a hill, so with some pushing the boat was in the ocean. What was even more pleasant was that the ship had plenty of supplies; food, water, tools, and even maps that weren’t used for impromptu ship repairs. This part of the trip would hopefully be more comfortable than the last one was.

Rainbow watched and listened to (the ear wasn’t just for show) Caleb act as the bear messenger with a combination of satisfaction and annoyance. Of course Caleb would almost mess this up over something as simple as a door. Maybe it was stupid to count on a 12 year old to kill almost a dozen cultists. But Rainbow had made this plan, so he knew he should see it through to the end.
“Stay here, Ribbon” the small green...thing whispered to the dog, then he cloaked himself invisible with illusion magic and followed Caleb inside the temple.

Karrass did indeed lead Caleb to the Hall of Sacrifice. It was a barren yet distinct place, with various wood carvings of bears and murals of bears made out of fish bones. In the center was a pit stained red and filled with decidedly human skeletons. Near there was a wooden pulpit and a golden throne large enough for...well, a bear; surrounding it all were wooden pews, like in a church.
“Karrass is honored to invite you to sit on our glorious throne, O’ Mighty One,” he said with a bow, “Karrass will now gather the others, as to hear your glorious wisdom.”
“Thank you, loyal cub, but please leave your dagger outside the sacrifice hall. Today is a day of rest, after all” Caleb requested at he sat down.
“Yes, of course, O’ All Knowing One!” the dwarf stated with a bow, then scurried to find and gather the other dwarves. It wasn’t subtle. Caleb heard him yell “Come to Karass, true believers! The Mighty One’s Messenger has answered Karrass and wishes to speak to you all! Follow Karrass or the Almighty Bear will smite you!” What the boy heard next was presumably dwarven muttering, followed by certainly understandable praises of the Bear and his messenger as they sat in the pews. The elderly lady who had almost tricked Caleb was the last to arrive; unlike the other 10 dwarves who were there, she looked more confused than estatic.
Karrass rushed back to the stage, noticeably without the dagger. “O’ Mighty One, Karrass has gathered all 11 members of your sacred sloth! Please give us your commands so we may fulfill your every whim.” At this, the dwarf bowed and sat in a nearby pew.
“Okay, Caleb,” the boy thought, “they’re all here. Time to get this over with...but should I? Is this ri-“
The elderly dwarf lady walked up to the pulpit and interrupted these thoughts, saying with a bow “O’ All Knowing One, before we hear your wisdom, would you lead us in prayer?” She seemed to be closely examining the messenger as she said this.
Caleb got up, walking towards the lady in his messenger form. He saw Ms. Ardia in her eyes. She had been like a mother to him, the only parent he had ever known, and these dwarves would use that bond to kill him? And how many others had died because of this deception? He realized now that he had to be brave and he had to be strong, or others after him would die as well. He knew what he had to do.
Just like he had practiced at home, Calvin swung his sword, aiming for the dwarven lady’s neck. And like the training dummy back home, the lady’s head came clean off of her body and fell onto the ground.
Unlike back home, Caleb’s illusion had worn off, revealing the 12 year old boy who had somehow managed to escape them the day before. Gasps were heard. “Seize him!” Karrass yelled, his face almost as red as the blood stains on the ground at the embarrassment of letting this interloper enter their church and slay their priest. Caleb took a defensive stance, ready for whatever the dwarves would do next.
“Nope!” was what he heard next, followed by dwarven screams from the pews. Rainbow was now following his part of the plan; waiting until Caleb got their attention, then stabbing cultists with a knife in the ankles to cripple them. There were some advantages to being small, after all. In all the confusion, the boy was able to fatally slash Karrass with his blade.
Caleb and Rainbow were doing good so far, but it was still two against nine. The fight wasn’t over yet.
