[QUOTE="Le Noir Faineant, post: 3539488, member: 30898"] [B][I]Later that night...[/I][/B][I] You have searched the dungeon for more tracks of that horrorful monstrosities the giant constantly keeps babbling about, but found nothing but the dead snakeman and the dead guard. With the ghosts having left, and all other tunnels leading to dead ends, this strange, otherworldly dungeon seems deserted. Could it be that whatever curse was tormenting the dwellers of this place left with this wild hunt of ghosts exisiting into the cold air of the night? After a while, you decide that all that remains to is just to leave and maybe alarm the priests of a nearby temple that the grave of an old king has been desecrated. As you make your way back through the dark tunnels, you feel indeed as if a dark cloud had been lifted from your hearts. It is, however, the giant, who removes your feeling of this venture into the deoths of the erath being just unnecessary and a failure, as he walks over to a bleak wall, and opens a secret drawer from the stone there which you hadn't noticed earlier. "Snake stored blinking things there" is what he says as he pulls out to big bags of - no, not gold, but, as you are overjoyed to realize, gemstones as clean and pure as you have never seen them before. Bowing before your group, he lays the bags down before you and says only: "Take." You hands will tremble as you realize that these jewels are worth enough to buy out an entire city, or your own small kingdom, if you desire it. Certainly, the times when you had to starve or take up simple mercenary jobs like this one are definitely over! A while later, high-hearted to have got out of this alive, and still baffled about the amount of your unexpected reward, you exit the last dark, cold tunnel and return to the surface. The cold mist and the ice are gone now, and a the leaves of the trees that surround the ghastly portrait of the fallen king are wet from the morning dew. As you look down the beautiful valley of Tegel that opens before you into the morning dawn, your mind starts to wander again, and, leaving the Cairn of the Skelton King behind, every new step brings you nearer to what possibly may become another, new adventure...[/I] [IMG]http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs4/i/2004/219/8/a/Dawn_on_the_Vumba.jpg[/IMG] [size=6][b]The End.[/b][/size] [/QUOTE]
