[QUOTE="talien, post: 4064393, member: 3285"] [b]Madness in Freeport - Part 14: Sseth’s Prison[/b] Peering through the portal, Kham could see a room completely bare but for the Valossan writing covering every square inch of wall, in many different styles and sizes. “Looks like a prison,” he said over his shoulder. A voice called out from the gloom. “Enter Foolsss! Help you Ssseth can. Yesss! You may be the onesss.” The same voice responded. “NO! Ssseth isss not sssure.” “Yesss!” came the voice again. “In you mussst come!” “Is that thing rhyming?” asked Vlad. Kham struggled with the door. Then he stepped back and made a welcoming gesture to Vlad. Vlad obliged him by bashing the door open with a swift kick. The room beyond the sealed stone door was crescent shaped and completely bare of any furnishings. A voice called them from the back of the room, “to Ssseth you mussst come, young onesss. Ssseth alone can help you. Need you do the Venom of the Ssserpent. Have it Ssseth does.” “But no!” the same voice said. “Give it to them Ssseth will not!” Ilmarė rubbed her temples. “They’ve all gone mad.” “Who is he arguing with?” asked Vlad. “Himself,” said Kham. “Yesss!” said Ssseth. “You mussst!” “No!” “Yesss! Yess, give it to you Ssseth sssshall. Only if they anssswer the riddle. Yesss! Only if they anssswer the riddle.” “No!” “Yessss! Anssswer it they mussst!” “I hate to interrupt this conversation,” said Kham. “But do you by chance know where the Venom of the Serpent is?” Sseth responded with a riddle: “I create life and also nourisssh it. I contain life and the future for sssome. I am firssst, although some sssay I came lassst. I am fragile, yet ssstrong enough to hold preciousss cargo. What am I?” “An egg,” said Ilmarė without hesitation. “You ssanu are dumber than a bag of rocks, I swear.” “Very good,” said Ssseth. “You will find the Venom of the Ssserpent in the tail of the ssstatue of Yig on thisss floor.” “Great,” said Kham. “Don’t let us interrupt your conversation.” He closed the door again behind him. “I told you the riddle wasss too easssy!” [/QUOTE]
