[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 3076357, member: 16166"] Within the shaft a great (but flimsy) construction of scaffolding spiralled down into the depths, allowing the knights careful egress into the heart of evil. The shaft itself delved deep into the earth, forcing the knights to stop after hours of careful climbing to rest and eat. As they continued onwards, the evil grew more powerful, so much so that Alexi could taste its foul presence, evil see the corruption it brought in the dark stains on the walls. The iron pole continued the entire distance downwards, and even Whale was forced to comment on its impossible exsitance, for even if someone could forge it, none would be able to get it into this shaft in one piece. Each of the knights rested at one point, sleeping uncomfortably in the wake of evil. Alexi woke several times to unnamable horrors that haunted his nightmares, and even the hardened Boar looked rattled as he rose from his slumber. It was over ten hours before the knights entered the pitch darkness that signalled the lair that they sought. As each entered the darkness avoided them, or did they glow? But the chamber opened about them in their presence, and the lair was something less than what was expected. The chamber had been excavated by the six men that now lay dead on the floor, each of their bodies corrupted so that their flesh had melted into crimson pools and their organs cooked and popped in their bodies. Ocassionally something would burst and spray one of the knights with its fluids. On the far side of the chamber was the beginning of a bridge, built of the darkest purple marble it looked as if master craftsmen had spent their lives trying to build something of pure beauty. It was decorated with carvings of fantastic beasts that none recognised, be they tentacled faced abominations or angelic beauties with feathered wings. The bridge ended against a rock wall where a pulsating metal door was chained and locked by dozens of crude naval locks. Off to one side a small halfling slumped against a wall where he had been studying ancient runes, one of many sections of the chamber that sported them. He had dozens of tablets to one side of him and looked like he had been taking notes. [/QUOTE]
