The corridor he was looking into was made of carved stone, obviously part of the Cities original sewer system. To the left, the corridor extended about 10 feet, before dead ending at a flat wall. A small trough of sewage ran snug against the wall. Grates sealed both ends. Even if they were removed, it would be impossible for a human to get into the pipe, not that they would want to.To the right, the corridor extended about 15 feet before making a ninety degree turn left. There was a small plaque on the far wall.Darvin went right, and Krellessa followed.When they had almost gotten to the corner, Darvin stopped and read the plaque:FAMOUS LAST WORDS:"Hey, I wonder what's around this corner? What? WAAAHHHHH..."THUDKrellessa drew her crossbow."Well? Keep going."Darvin drew his crossbow, and turned the corner. He stopped, and then he laughed.A small sign in the ground read:PIT TRAPBehind it was… a large pit.They walked around it and kept going.About 20 feet later, they reached a door. It had a sign on it:DOORIt was not a big door, but it wasn't particularly small either. Scratches marred the bottom, probably from the rats. The door had a wooden handle that was just a little too low for a human. Light shown out through the cracks in the wood, and loud goblin voices could be heard."Gee, guard duty seems pretty borin', Jankers. Why are we guarding this big door anyway? The only thing that's out there is them miners, and they've been pretty silent since those noises and screams I heard a few minutes ago.""Awe, shut yo' hole, Devis! You talk to muc'! We's was trained to guard, not to hear thin's. Hearin' thin's you aint s'posed to is bad buisness, by Hassin's Breath! Just shut yo' trap 'n guar' the door."Suddenly, Krellessa opened the door, yelled "DIE DIE DIE!!!" turned, and ran back the way she came. Darvin looked inside the room, and then followed."I'll get help!" screamed the goblin Devis as he ran down the steps inside the room.Jankers calmly drew his crossbow, kneeled behind the stone bench he had been sitting on, and waited for the two humans to come back.Meanwhile, Krellessa and Darvin ran back around the pit trap, and then turned the corner. Krellessa began casting a spell, while Darvin started explaining what he had seen."It was a pretty large room, maybe 15 by 15. There were 2 benches that the goblins were sitting on, on either side of a big statue they were leaning against. The goblin guards both had grey, almost black skin. I think the bigger one, 'Jankers,` was reading a book. The statue was of a big black goblin with wings, carrying a sword in one hand, and a book in the other. It had a plaque on it too:HASSINBehind the statue and the guards, steps ran down along the wall, turning at the corners. They stopped at the door. One of the goblins, 'Devis`, ran down them. I didn't see what happened to the other, but I think he hid.""What's a Hassin?""I think its their god. That's what the statue was of."Krellessa finished casting her spell, and from her hands, clouds of mist started flowing. The think mist filled up the passageway, and began spreading outwards towards the door. It was thicker than pea soup.Krellessa smiled."If they can't see us, they can't hurt us.""Let's waste these suckers."---------Next: "They're not so tough... OUCH!"</blockquote>
