The party sneaks up some large steps and peak into the room. Seated on a large metal throne is a man (in black banded mail with fiery filigree) apparently asleep. The walls are covered with pictures of the same man riding a war-lizard though fire.  Carefully checking every inch of the way for traps, the party advances on the man ready for anything. Nothing.  He is middle-aged and muscular- an obvious warrior. But he does not even flinch when Remilles cuts him with a dagger. He appears to be in a very deep sleep.   “Some mighty bandit.”  “He doesn’t look that big.” Marcus responds. “I wonder who ate all his followers.”  Behind the throne is a sliding stone panel that hides a small room with a desk, nice bed and bearskin rug. Across is a heavy iron banded door.  “See if there is a diary. The bad guys always keep diaries.”  “Only in the stories Remilles,” Angrimir retorts. “Only in the stories.”  “Ha then what’s this?” smirks Remilles holding up a bound group of papers from one of the desk drawers.  The papers are much more of a tally of booty than a diary. But it does talk about using “sleeping death” to avenge being sealed up in the cave.  ‘That’s it!” Angrimir exclaims. “ The substance in the broken jar we found in foundry room. It was an antidote. The sleeping death poison will put someone in a catatonic state, almost like being dead. The body slows down and can sleep for many months without needing food or water. But you need an antidote to wake up.”  ‘The real Sleeping Beauty.” Remilles responds reading some more of the papers. “And no Prince Charming, only sightless Morloks and fire dwarves. Seems they were using the fire dwarves as blacksmiths and armorers.”  “That is a good story Remilles with only one thing missing – gold.”  “Well Marcus, If you give Larinia and I a few minutes we will have this door open and you can start stuffing your pockets full of gold.”  After a few tries the door opens into a octoganal room. Around the edges are 2 large chests. In the middle is a 8 foot tall man-shaped thing made of pure fire.”  After concentrating Zenthilus reports “It is evil. And powerfull.”</blockquote>
