Into the Depths
The diminutive faeborn makes his way slowly forward, slipping into a small shadow and disappearing utterly from the view of his teammates.
For Skáth only:
[sblock]As soon as he gets past the light from the lantern, Skáth's superior darkvision begins making out details of the area to the north. He gets an impression of a high ceilinged room with rows of stone columns down each side. His eyes are drawn to a pyramid made of irregularly shaped objects, at the top of which is an obsidian throne. Certain he is well concealed, the tiny fellow continues to move forward as he looks. He sees a humanoid figure on the throne, and just as he notices the glowing orange eyes the skeletal head turns in his direction. Twin bolts of flame lance out from the eyes, barely missing Skáth as he frantically turns his forward motion into evasive action.[/sblock]
The tiny fellow has been gone for only moments when the rest of the party sees the room ahead light up briefly in orange. A bolt of flame shoots past the party and down the hall, passing well over even the tallest party member's head. A strange, acrid smell is left in the wake of the passing flame, along with a light image on closed eyelids.
