As he brings his head around, he finds Hrolf looming over him. His eyes glow a deep purple and he grabs Dowkan's shoulders roughly in an inhumanly strong grip."It's time to wake up."Dowkan awakes in a cold sweat on a marble floor. The room around him is likewise crafted from marble and circular in shape. Six towering circular portals are spread out equally around the room. One has a puddle of water at its base, another has scorch marks surrounding the marble flooring around it, at the base of another there is a large accumulation of dust and sand, and around one to Dowkan's left, the sound of incessant winds blow. The two others don't seem to have much distinguishing between them.At a large oaken desk in the center of the circular room, a sagely figure sits studying an open tome. Hearing the panting Dowkan behind him, the figure turns and his eyes go wide in shock."What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here!" The man rises quickly and rushes over to Dowkan. He helps Dowkan to his feet and begins shepherding the dwarf towards the two plain portals. "You must hurry. Before He returns. No, not that one. That one isn't complete yet." The man leads Dowkan away from the portal in the center to the one next to it. "In here. Quickly!"The man practically pushes him into complete darkness.Dowkan awakes on the cold stone floor in the lighted chamber he remembers meeting the others near.How he got to the caves is a mystery.</blockquote>
