The Shadowrealm

We set off into the darkness. Arli seemed uneasy about the dark, but it wasn't really that scary. She could hear creatures soon. I tried reaching out with my mind to them, and I could sense them! Lots of little scared creatures just on the periphery of what my mind could reach. I pressed deeper into one of their minds and saw a figure. Dark and tall and scary.
 
I don't know why we just walked into that very ominous ring of pillars, but we went right for it. Big creepy things showed up. Arli said they were blights later, whatever that is. Vine people dead, we ran away.
 
On my watch, I swear I saw a ghost. Then, we walked right into a room with lots of them! They all seemed to be looking at this one really big ghost.
 
Finally, we walked into a room that seemed like it must be the base of the tower. I felt so sure that the scrolls were up the stairs. It was definitely that way. It had to be.
 
There was a scary figure in one of the rooms, but the draw to go upstairs was so strong we just left it.
 
Then the big room. Just fucking full of gold. So. much. gold. And it was all fake. Arli seemed to sense something was up. She yelled- Balanoth!
