(YBA) Kalath in the dungeons of Tutul

[graydoom]

Kalath leaves the room, closing the secret door and making sure he knows how to reopen it without triggering the trap.

The door out of the room leads to another room. There is a door out on the other side but the most striking thing is the large two headed dog lying on the floor. There is a large bowl of water and a meaty bone in front of him.

The dog rises when Kalath enters and sniffing the air with one head, it whines with the other. It does not however attack.

 

[graydoom]

Wondering how intelligent the dog is, Kalath says, "Good boy, don't bite me or Griswold might be displeased," and then moves slowly past the dog.

 

[Wicht]

The dog does not seem hostile at all. In fact it seems downright friendly to Kalath and Kalath provokes nothing worse than some affectionate slobbering from one of the dog's heads as he moves past.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath gives the dog a short pet and scratch behind the ears, and then continues out of the room.

Kalath exits the room and finds himself exiting a crypt. The door behind him swings shut and he is standing near the end of the "path of tombs" in the graveyard.

The morning sun is rising higher into the sky. Kalath can hear the voices of men echoing in the air. The voices are coming across the hills from near the front of the cemetery.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath moves towards the voices, first noting any inscriptions on the crypt he exited, which side of the path it is on, and how many other crypts are between it and the main path.

 

[Wicht]

The crypt is the last crypt on the north side of the path and is relatively featureless. Kalath can find it again without difficulty.

As he journeys south through the cemetery, he comes to the top of a hill allowing him to see that there are several small groups of men coming through the cemetery. At a guess it looks like they are heading to the imp's crypt with the passage leading down to the city of the bard. They look like an unsavory lot.

 

[graydoom]

Slightly interested, Kalath trails the men or at least keeps them in sight until they enter the imp's tomb.

 

[Wicht]

There is a line forming outside the entrance to the imp's crypt, but the men in the line are slowly entering the tomb. Kalath estimates there are about twenty men total in the line at the moment, but he hears more coming.
