[QUOTE="talien, post: 3006306, member: 3285"] [b]Death in Freeport - Part 10: Cave of the Degenerates[/b] Kham struggled behind everyone else, dragging two chests as he walked. They made a horrible screeching noise with each step. “If we ever had any hope of the element of surprise, it’s long gone now,” said Dril ruefully. “Well,” said Vlad, admiring his new shield, “the shield is nice.” It had an image of a serpent upon it, with arrows flying towards it. They were in a large, irregular cavern. It was different from the other rooms in that it was both older and more primitive. The cave was scattered with bones, refuse, and filth. The lapping of a dark pool echoed from one corner. “That leads to the ocean,” said Ilmarė. “It has a current.” “You know, all this water makes me have to pee.” Kham wiped his forehead. “Can we go now?” “No,” said Ilmarė. She walked up to a part of the cavern wall and pressed on it. “The ssanu must be eliminated. Every last one.” The wall popped open into a much larger room lit by blazing torches. They had reached the heart of the Pit. It was a large chamber flanked with pillars. Each pillar had a giant stone snake coiled around it and the motif continued on frescoes along the walls and floor. The room was large enough to house another structure, a grandiose hall, within it. Kham dropped both of the chests. He turned to look at Dril. “They’ve been here for awhile, huh?” Dril nodded, muted by the spectacle. The craftsmanship involved would have taken decades. “Well,” said Kham, “we may as well see if anyone’s home.” He drew two of his pistols and jogged up the steps to the front of the hall. Dril and Vlad followed close behind. Kham peered around the corner into the room. An altar of black basalt stood at the far end of the hall and a strange yellow symbol was inscribed on the wall behind it. There was a statue of a tentacled horror in front of it. Two figures in robes lurked behind the far pillars, loaded crossbows at the ready. Behind the pillar stood a small man wearing red and black robes with a full hood. A skull-shaped mask covered his face. “You are the firth outthiders to ever reach the Temple of the Unthpeakable One,” said the unmistakable voice. “Your achievement detherveth congratulationth. It ith altho your doom!” “Is that who I think it is?” asked Vlad. “Althares help us,” said Kham. “It’s Milos.” [/QUOTE]
