The group opens the center door and cautiously makes their way ahead. Fog flows like a river from the eastern end of the tunnel, covering the floor of the long passage. The damp walls are rough and scored, unlike the finer construction elsewhere.
Halfway down the passage, Jarrith is caught by surprise as the stone floor begins to give way under him. His quick reflexes, however, save him from a tumble into the darkness as marble slide opens. Whomever built the passage did not want trespassers—or anyone escaping from the other end.
Eventually, after a few hundred feet, the passage ends at a heavy stone door. Jarrith sees no means of trapping it, but his push is not enough to open it. It takes Ashlyn and Khensu working in tandem to finally push it open, making some bit of noise as it does so. A stealthy approach is certainly spoiled.
Beyond is the catacombs.
Buried deep beneath the keep of Ravenloft, an arched ceiling here sags over squat crypts. The thick fog clings to the floor and cobwebs hang limp in the musty air. The darkness almost seems to crawl along the ceiling.
Somewhere within lies the tomb of the fallen prince where the sunsword may be awoken and perhaps other rituals performed.[sblock=Ashlyn, Jarrith]Faint sounds that cannot be distinguished may be heard from the east.[/sblock][sblock=OOC]The catacombs stretch mostly east and south; you are at their northern end.[/sblock]
