[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8288423, member: 7015827"] Shanni, still concerned about the missing hag, decided to cover their backtrail to the forest as Aerikoth, Darrow and Dermot continued to explore around the ruined tower. Darrow paid particular attention to the ancient stonework, much of it still standing amidst the rubble, while agreeing with Dermot that the place was unsettling. North of the tower they found a cave entrance, which Dermot scouted before they entered. Inside there was something of a foul odor, and Darrow noted that the stone floor by the entrance was well worn, meaning that many people had come in and out over the years. They soon discovered a set of wooden posts and shackles for binding prisoners, although none were present. Upon examination, the manacles and posts appeared to be in good condition, and Dermot noted a bucket and broom nearby, evidently used for cleaning the chamber; however, a faint stain still covered the floor. ([I]The world has many despicable, deadly and horrific things in it.

Dermot and Darrow responded that they were there to put a stop to this, the dwarf tapping the post for emphasis. The ghost, apparently more unhinged than Aronson, laughed madly and questioned what they knew of endings. Aerikoth baldly stated that if the ghost had anything useful to tell them, it should do so, or they would end it.
