(YBA) Kalath in the dungeons of Tutul

[graydoom]

Kalath goes to examine the body, attempting to determine how and why he died, and hoping that the body is not a zombie.

 

[Wicht]

The corpse seems permanently dead. The rotted leather armor shows signs of numerous claw marks, made by a very large set of claws. Clutched in the hands of the corpse is an intricately carved stone statue of a woman with the head of a dog or a wolf.

 

[graydoom]

Wondering what connection the claw marks and the statue has, and worried that he may soon find out, Kalath nevertheless attempts to take the statue. If he can free it from the body's grasp, he examines it for any indication that it is anything other than a statue, and then stashes it away.

Kalath then continues to move cautiously up the stairs.

 

[Wicht]

The statue does not seem to be more or less than what it appears to be, a stone statue. Kalath takes it and continues climbing the stairs. Shortly he comes to a end to the stairs and a short stone corridor. Following this leads to a door which is closed.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath moves up to the door and listens at it.

 

[Wicht]

Kalath hears nothing beyond the door. He notices a fine layer of dust on the floor indicating he is the only one to have been this way in a while.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath edges the door open and peeks in, and if he sees nothing particularly extraordinary he heads in.

 

[Wicht]

Kalath sees nothing but darkness behind the door. Opening it he gazes through and sees a dust filled stone room, empty of life but nevertheless furnished. A dusty table in the middle of the room has two chairs next to it. A set of shelves next to one wall appears to hold books or some such thing. An old oaken door stands shut to Kalath's right.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath goes to the door and listens at it. He also looks around to see if there is any hint of what inhabited this place.

 

[Wicht]

As Kalath goes to listen at the door he suddenly feels a chill in the air.

This is followed by the high pitch wail of something in agony. The sound momentarily freezes Kalath's blood.

A ghastly apparition charges at Kalath through the door. At moments it looks skeletal and then at other moments it looks like the decayed corpse of a long haired woman. It is white and transluscent and it's eyes burn with a rage born of anguish.
