Great.” says Tarmac.“What next?” asks Jenner. “One of us needs to climb in using the rope.” He says while looking at the halfling who has already proven to be a great climber.“NO!  It smells like rotted food and meat in there!   NO! No! No!”  Exclaims the cleric / Dragon Heir whom back-peddles away from the edge and nearly falls into the unknown of the mist.“Very well.  I’ll go.” Says the Breland spy.  At this point he feels he needs to know if a Forge is there hidden under a darkness spell and possibly illusionary smells.His foot touches the spell effect and disappears.  He instinctively withdraws his foot quickly.  Sighing and uncertain if this is really wise, he continues down.  When nearly submerged in the darkness he calls for a torch.  Jenner gives him a lit torch and he slides into the darkness.  Jenner listens carefully hoping against hope he will not be hearing screams of pain and agony.The smell is terrible but finally Tarmac breaches the darkness spell.  It is a shaped spell that has created a zone of darkness 2 feet thick and covers the entire entrance to the pit.  The mist rolls out from the walls and along the ceiling until it escapes through the spell and into the outside areas.  There are several large columns and something large and wet below.  He swings the torch towards the mass and discovers a HUGE pile of intestines below.  They are still wet and sticky with internal juices and fluids.  Nauseated, Tarmac lowers himself still further.Then suddenly the mass of internal organs strikes out and grabs his leg with a coil of guts!“AGH!  Jenner I need your help!”Nothing is heard from above.Tarmac struggles to pull free and can not from this Huge Undead Visceral Mass.DM NOTES:  It is now 7:10pm and we have to stop since I promised to be home around 8pm.  Albany is 45-75 minutes away and I am in an area of Albany I do not know (meaning more than 500ft from the thruway).   The following segment is what MAY have happened.  It was not played out but reveals much about the temple and what it is for and acts as a lead in to CHAOS EFFECT which is my next campaign that will begin next summer.</blockquote>
