Forever Flame

by SIMA LEES

We opened the door to a room wher a large square pool lay infront of us. I felt an overwhelming pull but was able to shake it. Thrall is not the strongest willed of us and we covered his eye with blinfold to get him through the room. Cousin braylin entered the room to search and he noticed large scortch marks on the wall. Kharos determeined it was a spell result o remove the murial on the wall. Carter entered the room but was driven with fear from the place. I tried to stop him and eventually he came to his senses.
 
Thrall stubbon as usual entered the room and was effected by the strage magical effect shouthing about killing and being decrepted and running away. After returning to us and coming to his senses, Thrall removed his loin cloth to cover his eye as not to feel the effects. Eventually we were able to open a portcullis on the far end of the room by returning to the room with the wheel with chains and turning it.
 
Entering the new room large swarms of bats flocked Braylin. It was a mass of flying rodent bodies all around us. I lit a torch to use to drive them back but they took off past me chasing Braylin and Carter. I took up a defensive position beneath the portcullis. Smartly Carter sealed them inside another room and we were able to make it through with mainly minor bumps and bruises.
 
We made are way down a short twisty hallway and came upon a room with a bridge over a chasm and tow stone staues on the far end. Braylin went ahead and suddenly the staues shot at him knocking off the overpass into the pit below. i lowered a rope into the abyss and Mulleur removed his armor and climbed down the rope to aide braylin. I retireved the rope and knotted it to help them climb out. When they finally retunred to the surface we made our way past the trapped statues and came across some large brass doors.
 
With the doors open we could see a large sarchophagus with a single torch above and the shadowy outline of a women shrivled up and appearing to be sleeping on the floor. Was this Rolldare's sister Demure?
 
A booming voice warned us of our imminenet doom and a large skelletal Knight appreaerd before us. I tired to explain are quest, but he had no interest in our needs and began his assualt. i moved into the room and was quickly surrounded by a small army of skeletons. Thrall rushed in and hit the leader wit a solid blow and Kharos called upon the power of the old gods and in a flash the skeltons were reppelled. Braylin thre a clump of glue that held the undead knight in place and thrall landed a final blow.
