(YBA) Kalath in the dungeons of Tutul

[graydoom]

Kalath allows himself to be escorted towards the gates and out.

 

[Wicht]

Kalath is the only fighter to walk back out of the fighter's entrance. Nearbye there is a large crowd of people heading out of the main arena gate and into the Bizarre.

 

[graydoom]

Dismissing the crowd of people as the people who just watched the fight, Kalath heads back towards the Cross to purchase new equipment with his newly won money and also to see if the search for the true bard has slackened yet.

 

[Wicht]

The number of robed castle guards in the streets seems to still be high and they seem to be scanning the crowds.

The shops are still in business however.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath heads into a convenient shop to buy some stuff.

Sells sword for 1 yen
Sells Phoenix Feather Charm for 1 yen

Kalath purchases Mantle of Shadow and Flame, an enchanted cloak that greatly enhances his abilities (+5 Phoenix, +5 Shadowy, +5 Volcano) for 60 yen. Kalath ends up still having 15.5 yen.

With that done, Kalath decides that he might as well check out what the southeast pillar looks like... after all, he's seen the other three, might as well see the fourth!

Kalath heads south and turns east before reaching the House of Tutul.

[Wicht]

Strangely enough, there is nothing between the house of Tutul and the south-eastern pillar. Nobody walks in this rocky and desolate part of the huge cavernous room.

When Kalath reaches the pillar without incident he can see no door on the pillar. It appears to simply be a huge pillar of stone.

 

[graydoom]

Puzzled and interested, Kalath checks around the pillar and on the surface of the pillar for anything unusual.

 

[Wicht]

A closer search reveals that there is a door, albeit a well hidden door designed to look like part of the pillar. A bit of prying and pulling and Kalath manages to get it to open. It was evidently designed to be opened easily from the inside. Beyond the door are dark stairs leading up.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath goes in and move cautiously upwards, first making sure that he can in fact easily re-open the door from the inside.

 

[Wicht]

The door does indeed open easily from the inside.

The stairs go up and around in a constant spiral. After a few minutes of climbing the stairs, Kalath spots a body lying on the stairs just above him. It is wearing rotted leather armor and the skin is shrunken against the bones.
