Opening The Coffin

When the book said nothing more in response to his flipping of pages, Feldard slammed the tome shut with a muttered dwarven curse. “What a waste of paper. It’d be better off used to wipe my…” The dwarfs words continued on in dwarven for a bit. For those understanding his cussing, keeping a straight face [...]

Ye Stupid Book!

Saeth smiled delightedly at the poem, it’s words echoing in the back of her brain, though its meaning confused her a bit. Her musing on that meaning took a similar form.
“So must we find this mystical rock,
thereby the witch-prison eternally lock?
Or is it youth’s virtue that seals the cell,
and by bringing one such we renew [...]

The Book of Years

Glad of the extra light Nicolai approached the first unopened coffin to see if he could wedge it shut.
Maruc kept a steely eye on the coffins not slackening his grip on his Halavist symbol.
Feldard paused his approach as the book on the stand rose and he stared at it warily from a distance, suspecting a [...]

Four Coffins

At seeing the three closed and intact coffins and then the fourth opened, the dwarf paused a moment, subconsciously scanning the corners of the room for a figure hidden in the dark shadows where the lamp and torch light did not yet reach. “The Three Sisters and your founder,“… I presume” the dwarf commented to [...]

Tomb Of Souls

“The room beyond is large. I see something at the far end but can’t make it out,” the dwarf informed the others. “I don’t see any living thing in my range. It should be safe enough.”
He pushed open door and stepped into the room, giving space for others to follow. The large shapes at the [...]

Turning The Key

The dwarf, seeing the keyhole, searched his somewhat fallible memory, his stubby fingers burying deep into his beard as scratched his chin. “Anybody find any keys recently?”
“A key, you say?” Hasan withdrew the key he had collected from the vault below and passed it forward to the dwarf. “I found this downstairs.”
Nicolai spent a few [...]

Keyhole in the Temple

Nicolai nodded in agreement at Feldard’s assertion. Then bend his skills to opening the portal.
Miklos turned to his cleric friend. “Why go to so much trouble for artful concealment?”
Maruc’s hand rested on his flail. “Let us hope we don’t regret our discovery.” he grinned as waited for Nicolai to finish.
Feldard stood back, letting the rogue [...]

Chop Chop Chop

At the rogue’s silence, yet seeing the man pause and pay close attention to the sound his tapping was making, the dwarf tromped forward impatiently. “What is it, Nicolai? What do you hear?”
“Its probably nothing.” he replied. “Batons nailed into the wall, paneling nailed to the batons. It creates a gap. But then again…”. He [...]

Tap Tap Tap

“Hmm, that’s odd. Now why would dwarven engineers slope the ground here? Makes no sense…” Feldard scritched at his beard, pondering the slope. It didn’t seem to be related to the towers collapse and it was gentle enough to hardly be noticeable by humans or elves. A secret passage perhaps? or a trap? The dwarf [...]
