[QUOTE="Eccles, post: 3103301, member: 5675"] The local boatman was quickly paid (and offered the last of our beer) to row us across the lake, so keen were we to get started, and it was very soon that we stood listening to the strange whistling of the breeze blowing out of the dark cave-mouth. Inside, the whistling condensed to the same spooky whispering noise which we remembered from visiting the cave as children, trying to dare one another to enter beyond the merest lip of the cavern. This time, as grown men, fuelled by the weapons at our belts and the alcohol warming our bellies, we were ready to step further inside. In a few short paces, we were past the first chamber, names scratched on the walls by generations long forgotten fell behind us. Almost immediately we entered a corridor which was almost entirely untouched, marked as unusual only by the black glass of a broken mirror to our left. We stopped to scrutinise this, listen to the almost voice-like qualities of the wind as it rushed past us, and to sniff the air and recognise the smell of damp fur. The mirror was marked with a glyph which I recognised from the epic tale “Icosiel’s Urn”, which in turn gave made me realise that the other marks around the edge of the mirror were other Wind Dukes; the original makers of the legendary “Rod of 7 Parts”. Meanwhile, Morgan paused to listen to the wind, swearing blind that is was singing to him in Auran, although the only words he could make out were “hopeless… sacrilege… enemies…” – hardly an auspicious start to our dungeon delving! Further down the tunnel, we realised that it was not as dark as could be expected – there was an eery green twinkling of light, which we began to edge towards again, moving into a large well-painted chamber. We all clustered around a raised dais, inspecting the first throne we had ever seen before, before we heard the clicking of talons on stone, and turned to see three large, damp, shaggy wolves coming out from behind a pile of rubble, snarling at us. The fight was short and bloody. Arrows flew, hammer and bastard sword flashed, and dark miasmatic energies lanced at the enemies. The weaker 2 wolves were swiftly brought low, whilst the third (under the baleful influence of Morgan’s spell of terror) ran and cowered in one corner. The group clustered around it, and the snarling, snapping beast was slain. Searching the now bloodstained wolf-lair revealed a few coins and a strange item – an indigo gem-like lantern. We moved on down the steps towards the green glow, chill seeping into our bones as the alcohol slowly wore off. Wolves had tried to kill us; this was serious, and we were real adventurers now!
