[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7407395, member: 6799460"] [b]Grid of Pain[/b] Annit gasped, reaching out a hand to grab for the ranger and plead for him to wait. Too late though! Dain has leaped through the opening with great manly exuberance and gusto! [COLOR="#0000CD"]“S**t,”[/COLOR] the rogue whispers. The Ranger’s eyes fall upon something of a great wide hallway, a lengthy cavern baking in subterranean heat. In a rough gridlike pattern, wide cracks upon the surface are home to orange and red coals, casting their light upwards like a scorching river, glowing, crackling and hissing. Sectioned by hot lines and angles, basalt has resisted against these seams of vastly more… flammable material, and stand firm, providing pathways and small bridges throughout the expanse. Cages of iron, black and charred, lie in well-placed and neat rows as far as the eye can see, all two yards high and barely a yard across. Most of them are empty of life it appears, at first glance, stood upon their small islands of black. But the horror does not end there. A tall and slippery looking figure, muscular in form yet almost translucent in the dark matter that shapes it... from the neck down, turns to stare at Dain. The face is almost reptilian in nature, like some twisted mage has stuck a crocodile’s head atop an oozy monstrous eel. It's jaw opens in surprise, but there is a surprise for the ranger too. Row upon row razor sharp teeth! [COLOR="#FF0000"]“Zrywweiwwyr!”[/COLOR] It snarls, raising two distorted arms to reveal a pair of claws.
