Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 693056" data-attributes="member: 114">As Trajan and Anne-Marie enter the room two young women who have been hideously deformed into undead wights leap at them, clawing with broken fingernails. They seem to be bolstered by the unearthly song ringing through the hall, and before they are struck down their talons have struck a deep chill into Trajan’s heart, weakening his health slightly.The proceed down the corridor into the great hall, which has many side passages leading off to dormitories and classrooms. The great hall itself is lined with trophies, banners, plaques and old instruments, while benches and tables are set out across the floor. Dala gestures and spits a few words and an explosion of webbing coats one side of the hall, sealing all the doors there closed as a precaution. The sound is clearly coming from the closed door to the main auditorium, which is thrumming with the powerful beat of the hideous, cacophonic music.Trajan thrusts the door open, and his eyes gaze on a horrible sight. Students and teachers stand against the wall of this circular 50ft diameter room. All have been turned into wights, and all are playing instruments or singing with melodic, evil voices, amplified by the astounding acoustics of the auditorium. Standing in mid-air just below the 40ft ceiling, poised in the air is a dwarven wight, conducting his evil choir with a black baton. He turns as they enter.“Good evening! My name is Thorsted. Have you come to appreciate my choir?”“No” says Trajan, whose sensitivity to evil is raising all the hairs on his neck. “We have come to stop you”“Pity” growls Thorsted in a deep bass voice, and as the horrible song reaches a crescendo he waves his baton down at Trajan and the others and barks a command – and at the musically correct moment a thunderbolt of electricity streams out from the baton bathing Trajan and the others in its power. They leap for safety, Dala touches Trajan and whispers “Fly” and Trajan leaps up into the sky to take the fight to the dwarven wight.</blockquote>
