(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair

[Wicht]

Actually, if it fits your character, yes, though you are the first to pick up on that

 

[Dalamar]

Seeing that he can't see without light, Drax lights one of his torches. When it catches the flame, he enters the cavern.

 

[Wicht]

The smell of burnt flesh hangs over everything in the cave. Descending a broad set of stairs, Drax enters into a large room with a sandy floor. There are three tunnels leading out of this room, one to the west, one to the east and one straight ahead to the north. There are burnt goblin corpses, long since cold lying in the middle of the floor.

All is very silent.

 

[Dalamar]

"Well... I'm right handed..."
Drax heads to the eastern tunnel, at the same time wondering what has burnt the goblins.

 

[Wicht]

The right hand tunnel goes straight for about fifteen feet and then opens up into a nearly square chamber. The chamber is empty but there is another passage to the north which leads straight into another east bound passage.

 

[Dalamar]

Too silent... Too empty... I want to whack something.
Drax sneaks ahead, going for the next tunnel.

 

[Wicht]

The tunnel opens into a circular room, domianted by a stalagmite in the middle. A single torch sconce on the stalagmite holds an unlit torch.

There are rotting goblin bodies against the east wall of the room.

There is a narrow tunnel leading north out of the room.

Everything is still pretty quiet.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax retrieves the unlit torch and puts it safe, one never knows how long he might need to stay here.
He'll then move to the corpses and check to see if he could make out what had killed them.

 

[Wicht]

Pulling the torch out of the sconce causes a panel in the east wall to side open, just behind the goblin corpses. There are stairs going down a narrow tunnel behind the opening.

The goblin corpses seemed to have been hacked with swords.

 

[Dalamar]

"Interesting..."
Drax moves to the secret tunnel and hopes the door doesn't close without a torch.
