(YBA) Sharlea in Wichts Lair IV

[Wicht]

There are no traps and the door opens easily, revealing the sunlit view of the cemetery. Sharlea sees that she is in a tomb, across a path from another tomb.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Sharlea will make her way out into the refreshing sunshine and take a look around, trying to determine where in the cemetary she may be. If she can see any path or road, she will head for it in the hopes of finding a signpost ...

 

[Wicht]

As Sharlea steps into the light, she sees that she is just above a path running east and west. There are three tombs north of the path and three south of the path, all along its length. At the far eastern end of the path she makes out another crypt and to the west she sees what looks to be the main path running north and south. She can't make out what the signpost says from where she is. She is standing in front of the middle crypt on the southern side of the path.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Sharlea will go down to the path below and follow it west to what she guesses is the main path. When there, she will double check the signpost to see is she knows where she is ...

 

[Wicht]

The sign reads, "The Path of Tombs." The paint on it looks fairly fresh. From her vantage point at the crossroads however, Sharlea realizes she is only a little south of the north gate.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Sharlea will head south on the main path checking each crossroad as she come to it. She is trying to remember the way to a particular tomb she once saw. A strangly holy tomb in this most unholy of places. She wonders to herself if there is any connection between it and the man in black asking if she was the one...

Remembering where it was, Sharlea decides to head south and then turn west onto the Path of the Dead (she thinks that was the name) until she is at the tomb on the corner a little ways north of the well. It should be the tomb that seemed somehow good in this place of evil.

 

[Wicht]

Her memory seems to hold true and soon Sharlea is near the western-most part of the cemetery, just north of an ornate tomb. The walls of the tomb are heavily decorated and despite the many wolves carved into the garden scenes on the walls, it somehow gives off a peaceful feeling.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Sharlea will inspect the outside of the tomb for any writings or other clues as to who or what might be inside. After that, she will approach the doors and see if she can open them...

 

[Wicht]

The outside of the tomb is carved over with wolves, flowers and vines. There is no writing. As Sharlea approaches the front doors of the tomb, a voice whispers, "Are you the one?" and the doors swing open as Sharlea approaches.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Sharlea will step forward into the tomb.

"How will I know if I am the one?", she asks the voice.

"Perhaps if you tell me of the one you seek, I will be able to answer your question with more certainty."
