[i]The police let you through the gate, and inside you find all the normal occupants of a graveyard. Headstones, crosses, tombs and flowers dot the grassy field around you. The main office sits at the end of the short road before you, and it looks deserted but undisturbed. With your keen scent you smell fresh blood from somewhere on the far side of the cemetery.[/i]
-
Blaze immediately starts to sprint to the smell.
-
[i]The smell leads you to a grove of trees planted in a corner of the cemetery. A grave has been dug up here, partially hidden from the main office, and the new hole descends at least a hundred feet down into a room lit by flickering torchlight. A rope has been tied around one of the trees and reaches to the bottom of the hole. The blood comes from below, and it's very fresh.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Well at least there’s a rope [/spoiler] Blaze slowly starts to climb down.
-
[spoiler]How else are they gonna go up and down lolth[/spoiler] [i]As you enter the hole you hear scuffling from behind you, like dirt being scraped away.[/i]
-
Blaze looks in that direction. “C’mon. Who’s there?”
-
[i]A skeletal hand pulls itself free from the dirt, followed by, you guessed it, a skeletal head. The undead alchemist hurls a blob of acid at you as it rises from the grave![/i]
-
Blaze tries to hop away and throws a shadow knife at the head. “Ah! Skeleton!”
-
[i]You evade the blob, and it eats away at the grass where it lands. The knife hits, breaking some bone, but the skeleton doesn't seem too upset about it. It retaliates with a trio of darts made of force energy that hit you for minor damage![/i] [spoiler]Love magic missile, damage is meh but it's so cool[/spoiler]
-
Blaze stumbles back and gasps. “Oh..ow! You stupid bonehead!” He summons a shadow axe, and charges at the skeleton, aiming to take its head off.
-
[spoiler]Vat is zis? Blaze using his shadows powers?[/spoiler] [i]The axe cleaves through its head, and the skeleton crumbles into a pile of bones.[/i]
-
[spoiler]yeah yeah, he does it from time to time.[/spoiler] He lets out a sigh of relief, and looks around. “Thank..goodness.”
-
[i]With the skeleton guard dismissed, the cemetery is peaceful once more. Faint chanting comes from the bottom of the hole.[/i]
-
Blaze sighs, and tries to sneakily climb down the side, instead of down the rope. [spoiler]Sticky gloves, baby![/spoiler]
-
[i]As you descend down the side of the hole, roughly halfway down you feel the dirt give way and you stumble into a cozy little pocket dug into the side. Two tents and a few sleeping bags have been set up in here, as well as some backpacks and food supplies.[/i]
-
Blaze smells for anyone nearby.
-
[i]The camp is empty, but it smells like a few people have lived here for some time.[/i]
-
Blaze starts to poke around!
-
[i]There isn’t much besides the bare necessities, but he does find a small green potion under a pillow. [/i]
-
He pockets it, and heads back to the rope down
-
[i]The rope holds up, and he’s able to safely descend into a cold stone room. A pile of dirt sits at his feet, and a torch on the wall illuminates the area. To his right is a door, and his left a flight of stairs. [/i]
-
Blaze shivers, and heads for the stairs.
-
[i]Down the stairs he finds another rectangular stone room. No torch lights this area, not a problem for him, and in the middle he sees a coffin torn open. On the discarded lid he notices a knight's crest, now scratched and defaced. The coffin itself is empty except for some linens and cloth for a body to rest on inside. Chanting faintly echoes from somewhere in the complex. Another flight of stairs down sits on the other side of the room from him. The floor headed that way seems well worn and scraped up.[/i]
-
Blaze sneaks down this next set of stairs.
-
[i]He descends, and enters into a large T-shaped room(from the top right of the letter), with another entrance across from him. It's made of the same stone as the other areas, and a pair of large columns support the roof above. At the end of the chamber(the bottom of the T) a green circular portal has been opened. A tall elven figure stands before it reading from a tome, and on the ground next to her is a skeleton in a suit of armor now covered in vines. On his chestplate is a knight's crest, the same as the coffin from before.[/i] "Pest, what gives you the gall to crawl down here?"
