[QUOTE="Mathew_Freeman, post: 4467423, member: 1846"] [b]"Let Reason's force drive terror into your heart!"[/b] Peering around the corner, Aran Thule sees in to the next room. It is a large natural-looking cavern, lit by some sort of softly-glowing moss and rugged in appearance. There is an exit on the far side of the room, a small corridor leading away. To one side, an alcove holds a closed door in the shape of a fearsome demonic face. As the party move carefully into the cavern, they see more clearly. Around the wall is writing that Des and Theron both recognise as being that of Bael Turath, the fallen Tiefling Empire that collapsed in battle against the Dragonborn. The writing indicates that this was once some sort of tomb, although the origninal inhabitants can only be guessed at now. Aran Thule and Cass move forwards to investigate the door, quickly noticing that the glowing eyes of the face are actually windows through to the room beyond. Looking through, they see two young human boys in chains in the midst of a magical looking circle, surrounded by two rows of identical statues. They surmise, correctly as it turns out, that these are the two boys they are looking for. The boys look scared and nervous, lying still and silent. Moving across the rough floor, Des seeks to see down this other corridor. Dimly seen at the far end is a raised platform, with a shadowy figure stood on top of it. He is lit by the emerald energy of an eldrtich circle of power, the magic almost visibly coiling up around him, and he is reading a tome bound in dark leather. He clutches a staff in his other hand. Without a pause for discussion, Des recklessly steps forwards, crying out "Let Reason's force drive terror into your heart!" attempting to magically install fear into the figure – hoping to force him to flee the circle and come down to the floor. The prayer arcs across the room, but as it reaches it's target it dissipates and fails to affect him. The robed figure pushes back it's cowl, revealing an elven face twisted with dark secrets and hate, and he sneers in return "Pathetic! Forward, my minions, and let your swords taste his blood!" With the unpleasant sound of bone clicking on stone, five skeletons beging to move around the platform, brandishing swords. It appears this twisted Elf is not happy at being disturbed!
