Session 60

DM Notes: Arya split off from the group to follow Ali through the portal. Remained in Warlsbury to speak with Mother Iris, Altik, and Captain Gilminar.

Beneath the rock, there are steps that spiral down
Deeper and deeper they twist in the gloom.
All the while, creaks and groans rattle throughout its halls
Murmurs whispering of impending doom.


Beneath the rock, there are tunnels haunted by what they have seen
Bound hands reach out towards the light.
Still hoping that this nightmare will soon come to an end
They pray for the end of the night.


Beneath the rock, there are footsteps that echo around twists and turns
Rhythmical reflections of those trapped within.
Accompanied only by the chorus of shattered shields
And the bodies of those they call kin.


Beneath the rock, there are bright eyes that watch every angle
Blind to nothing in its dark hold.
There are few that can stand against him in defiance
Who will not rest until he lays cold.


Beneath the rock, there are champions stood tall and victorious
Breaking the shackles of the lost.
Carried across the back of the strangers, they finally reach the day
Their nightmare over, but at what cost.


But he is still out there, deep beneath the rock.
