Enter the pyramid and all will be revealed.”As suddenly as it had arrived, the image vanished but as it did, the companions noticed a glowing light at the centre of the clearing amongst the tumbled stones. Erlmoor rose from the grass where he had been binding his wounds and started towards it.“It is a small, glowing pyramid,” he called to the others. “Covered with markings that I cannot read.”“Perhaps that is the way in,” Enlishia said, rising and making her way over to where the dragonborn stood.The others followed and as he reached it, Lavren knelt beside the pyramid and reached out to touch it. The small pyramid suddenly expanded leaving the companions unable to tell whether they were shrinking or it was growing. It filled the clearing around them nonetheless and they were immersed in darkness. The voice of the tiefling came to them one last time.“Welcome to the Pyramid of Shadows,” it said. “The only way to win your freedom is to kill us – three times.”His mocking laughter followed, taunting the companions and then fading away as light returned and a tremendous stench assailed the group, suggesting that they had left the forest behind.Next....The Pit of Death</blockquote>
