Story 11 (Balthier goes bowling)

Balthier, outside the cave, enters nimbly, pausing to wonder if that bush was moving.  In front of him are 3 doors, the north one shattered all over, the east one filled with some sort of clay, and the west one closed.  Entering the west door, he is greeted by a northern, and western door, a southern crystallized door, and a wirefly, stuck to the ceiling.  There is very loud buzzing coming from the crystal door, and some scraping and buzzing from the west.  Upon examination of the wirefly, it seems to be asleep.  Balthier sneaks up behind the wirefly, but not before he takes his shoes off as to not wake the beast.  A deft hatchet swing cuts the fly clean in two.  He takes the corpse of the machine, and heads through the northern door.  Inside are a few small skeletons, partially dissolved away on top of a rather large patch of grass.  Balthier throws a nearby rock at a skeleton, which falls apart into dust.  He then throws a rock at the grass, which lands.  There is a faint hiss.  Turning on his heals, he is out the door as fast as his feet can move him.  The buzzing noise has stopped from the west room, and the scraping has turned to rustling.  Balthier head through the west door, only to be surprised by two creatures, instantly identified as Xill.(http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG259b.jpg)  Both are carrying spears.  One has a flask, and is wearing glasses.  They look at Balthier as if they do not know whether to attack or to continue looting.  An awkward pause passes between the three entities.  Balthier puts the bucket on his head, beats it with the flat part of his axe, and yells at the top of his lungs in an attempt to intimidate them.  He looks like an idiot.  The Xill begin to laugh, and come over to Balthier.  The one with the glasses calls himself Bill.  His glasses allow him to find and identify telekinetic energy.  The other one, Dill, explains that Bill is a big dork and you shouldn't listen to his hokey pokey crap.  Bill asks how Balthier got here.  Dill explains that they don't remember how they got here, last they knew their craft was having problems with a telekinetic energy flux coming from this planet.  They have been trying to find their ship and the source of the energy for several weeks.  Balthier begins to explain to the demons about his situation, before he gets uninterrupted by Dill saying that they are not "Demons" but simply "Enlightened Helians" or to put in simple terms, the opposite of fallen angels, stripped of their powers, and sent to a mundane world.  Balthier is led back to the room with the crystal door.  They have been trying to crack this open for a few days, but this is the main entrance to the wirefly hive, and is heavily reinforced.  Balthier inspects the crystal door, and finds a few cracks that have sealed over with a thick resin, making the door stronger still.
