(YBA) Kalath in the Sewers of the City of the Bard

[Wicht]

The next door to the west is also the last in the hall.

Kalath tries the door but finds that it is locked. There is a keyhole and the lock appears to be of a decent quality.

On the other side of the door, Kalath hears something rather heavy moving.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath goes to check the door to the east of the door he originally entered through.

 

[Wicht]

That door easily opens and Kalath sees within a warm, carpeted room, with a lit roaring fireplace, a simple wooden table with a few plates and bowls of food on it and a rocking chair. The rocking chair is occupied by an old and wrinkled woman, her eyes are filmed over and it is obvious that she is blind. She sits near the fire and rocks and knits.

"Come in young warrior," she wheezes, "You let in the draft."

 

[graydoom]

Kalath comes in and eases the door mostly shut behind him.

"Hello, madam. How did you come to be in this place?"

 

[Wicht]

The woman chuckles. "I believe I was carried in here.

My so many weapons young man! Will you not take a break from fighting and have some of my food."

She gestures at the food on the table, rocking gently in her chair.

 

[graydoom]

"No thank you, madam. Not particularly hungry right now and I need to keep my edge."

"Who or what were you carried in by?"

 

[Wicht]

"By those robed monsters you have been killing of course," she says with a sniff as if it was obvious. "They thought I would be useful tot hem and their abominable master!"

 

[graydoom]

"Hmm. They probably wanted to use you as a sacrifice."

"Well, it was nice speaking to you, madam, but I need to get back to work. Anything you know that you think might be useful to me in dealing with those cultists?"

 

[Wicht]

The woman laughs when Kalath mentions she was to be a sacrifice...

"If they bring up their dread master as they desire we will all be sacrifices, but have I not already given my eyes to Tutul so that I can see? Know this, young fighter, Tutul cares not whose blood is spilled be it yours or another. When you see the star, spill no blood!!!"

 

[graydoom]

"When I see the star, spill no blood... I'll keep that in mind."

Kalath leaves the old lady's room, closing the door softly behind him, and goes to check the next door to the east.

ooc: What can Kalath see at the ends of the hallway?
