[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6170980, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “04 INTERNAL PLAY” SEGMENT 69 “UNDERSHARN” ZARANTYR 26, 989 “Listen Play- I don’t care if your family and the royal family are best friends- When I tell you something- you LISTEN.” Snarls the Dark lantern trainer. “Sigh… okay okay.” Says the rookie Lantern John Play. “This job is easy, thus why you get to tag along, but the area is dangerous. Behind this door is a set of stairs that leads below the towers, below Sharn. It even goes below the Cogs. This area is called Undersharn for obvious reasons. It is full of hidden passageways, rooms and places dangerous to the unknowing.” Continues the veteran lantern code-named Render. “Who built these? What is their use?” asks the young Play trying to be a good attentive student. “Most of these were built by people before we built Sharn. Some say it was the goblins that built them. As Sharn was built, sections of their old city were buried or hidden. Over time people found them and the tunnels that connected them. Modern age criminals and the unholy rollers use them to work in secret.” “Unholy….” Questions Play thinking about a new student in his surveillance class named Jasmine. “Cults boy. Don’t you read the Sharn Inquisitive? Evil folk worshipping demons, devils and other unnatural creatures. These people are scarier than the Thrane or Karrnathi forces. They thrive down here. The darkness, seclusion and mystery of the place. They thrive.” “So I assume there are undead here also.” “Vampires. Many vampires hide here by day.” They reach the bottom of the stairs and Render raises a hand and makes a hard fist. The signal to shut up and get ready. Render moves away and there is a faint muffled grunt in the darkness. He then steps out into the limits of the darkvision spell and they go further down. Deeper into Undersharn. Play steps over the body of a human dressed in black clothes and holding a crossbow. Play senses Render’s change in attitude. Then he hears it. Chanting. Play tries to understand it. But between the echo and being a strange language he cannot. Quietly they move down a corridor and see dim flickering light ahead of them. “Who-“ Play begins. Render hisses at him to signal his need to be silent. They pass one last corner and see it all. Render grows concerned. Before them is a large open chamber. Eight people dressed in black robes raise and drop their out stretched arms while chanting. In the center are a fire and woman barely dressed and a man holding a red glowing sword. “Cultist?” suggests Play “Back up?” adds Play. “No time, to save her we have to act. This is what I want you to do rookie.” He begins. [/QUOTE]
