Something Amiss

The priest hadn’t seen anything like it in his life. It didn’t look as terrifying as the gargantuan reptilian in the other room but something inside him told him it wasn’t a creature to be easily overcome. “Halav rewards the brave, not the foolish. Time to depart Feldard.”
Once again, they were able to narrowly escape [...]

Behold Terror

Hasan backed away from the door and moved to follow Feldard. But the whole “dragon” episode continued to bother him. Catching up with Saeth, he murmered in Elvish, “I know your Miklos seems to know things about this place that my clan did not. But a dragon? We might not know some things, but tales [...]

Moving to the Other Door

In answer to Hasan’s question the dwarf fixed the elf with a dead serious look. “A dragon.” Feldard eyed the now barred door and turned to head back out into the hall. A door would be a mere hindrance to a dragon should it decide to come after them for disturbing it. It was time [...]

Back Out of the Room!!

The dwarf who had heard tales of dragons from his forefathers stopped dead tracks at the sight of the dragon. The fear that coursed through his veins was chilling and Feldard literally pissed himself. The spout of flame was all that was needed to urge the dwarf into frantic movement. “Back out of the room!”
“Ye [...]

Dragonbreath

Maruc followed Feldard in around to the left again. He positioned himself next to the door and waited for Feldard to open it.
Feldard grumbled as he moved into the hall and went to the door on the left. He repeated the same procedure moving off to the right side listening at the door, while letting [...]

To The Left

“Left seems as good as any direction to me,” said Nicolai quietly, as he caught up to the others. “Found this stone amongst the rubble, that looks interesting,” he shows a green stone from his pocket, “but anything else will be well buried under that.”
“Ahh, a beautiful piece. Given time, I could determine if it [...]

Down the Hallway

 

Hasan said, “I gather the tradition is to go left when there’s a fork in the road. Well, I’d go where there’s sun, but down here, left is as good as anything.”
“Aye, left is good.” said the priest as he shone the lantern down the passageway. “Lets go.” Maruc fell into step next the Feldard. [...]

3 Exits

Looking upward at the devastation, Miklos was surprised to note that the ceiling hadn’t completely collapsed. It was quite obvious that the fire had done the worse damage undermining the beams and bringing the central structure in on itself. He wandered over to the beams still supporting the hundreds of tons of rubble above them. [...]

The Halls of Grandeur

“Well that explains that, better safe than sorry eh?” Miklos grinned as he turned on his heals and strode back down the tunnel. Back in the chamber of the doors he stood to one side to allow the others to continue with their attempt on the portal.
“Where does that leave us?” mused Saeth from the [...]

More Dwarven Grumbling

“Hmm…here’s a twist. Should we go in the front door, or go through the secret door, that may or may not take us where we want to go. In this case, I’d say stealth is worth more than speed, so I would willingly take this way, indirect though it may be. But I do not [...]
