[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5568818, member: 16069"] You emerge in to a chamber, a massive chamber- perhaps the largest chamber you have ever seen. You've only been travelling for perhaps six hours, a short day. The Gaffer moves swiftly to establish his camp- this time in a blind cavern out of the way- hidden from the main route. This done he ushers you a little forward in to the huge cavern and points, adding "stick to the wall... it's straight ahead. I will camp here- for ten days, and then..." He leaves the rest unsaid. And that's it, save perhaps for a shy acknowledgement, the Gaffer looks suddenly melancholy, and shuffles back the way you came, until he is gone from sight, and you are- for the first time- truly alone. You head forward, cautiously, following the left-hand wall until your lights begin to catch and shimmer on something smooth and flat- more water ahead, but what's this- the remains of some sort of building, a gatehouse of sorts. Suddenly you stop. A noise, odd because save for the sounds of your passing, and the eerie natural noises of the caverns you have not heard any other sounds in the last two-and-a-half days. It's chanting- Dwarven chanting- a dirge of some kind, although the sound is terribly muffled, montone- if there are words in there then they are hidden, strangled, choked. More cautious still you edge forward, a great lake- impassable to the side of the gatehouse, which you can now see is a ruin. You edge closer still, the sound grows louder, although if anything less clearer- now just a low drone. You edge closer... The sound is coming from within the gatehouse itself, you're certain. Closer... Until. [/QUOTE]
