Running Through the Maze
Syld, you manage to contact the stone without any difficulties. It contains the following powers, each manifested at 5th level - Detect Thoughts, Concussion, and Clairaudience/Clairvoyance.
Syld, the aura soon begins to fade away as it runs away from you. Following it, and from the assistance of torchlight and your memory, you begin to follow it as fast as you can.
You travel 20 feet down the corrider, and there are two tunnels, one forward and one to the right. You head right, and 30 feet later there is another intersection, with a tunnel leading left and another leading straight. You take the one on the left, following the running aura. It takes a right up ahead, and you follow it, running down 50 feet of corrider to find a tunnel heading right and one straight. You take the right, and the aura takes a left as you do, and then almost immediately it takes a right.
You run down another 50 feet of corridor, and the tunnel turns to the left. You take the left, and 20 feet later there is another intersection, with one tunnel heading right and another forward. The aura runs down the tunnel to your right - and drops down around 10 feet. It continues moving, although it is difficult to tell without being able to see it now that it is below you - but it appears to be moving in the same direction it was before it dropped. You run down the corridor on the right, and feel a slightly warm, very slow air current coming from in front of you.
You run almost 70 feet down a relatively straight tunnel, and then almost fall into a large hole, similar to the tunnel entrance. You can make out the marks of long claws along the floor and wall, and they appear to be going down. The torchlight and Shardorn's holy symbol provide enoguh light to show that the hole is at lesat 4 feet deep. Bringing the torch above the hole reveals it to be roughly 10 feet deep, and continues forward. Syld, the aura continued down that tunnel. It is currently heading to your right, around what would appear to be 50 feet or so away from you, although, again, it is difficult to tell with it being below you rather than on the same level.
So - you are confronted with a hole, which appears to be 10 feet deep. A stale current of slightly warm air - not even enough to be called a breeze - is issuing forth slowly from the hole.
