As
T descended the dungeon holding the torch up in his left hand, his cowboy boot
clanked loud against rocky steps and his shadows casted on uneven surface of
the wall. The group followed carefully after him and inspected the bright area searching for unexpected, and most importantly, avoid monsters that lurked
around taken this place home.
Inside
an environment unknown to them: Four round pillars supported the room, a door
at the end with dust and spider webs sprawling around everywhere. They searched
but came up with nothing interesting or useful. T commanded forward.
Upon
entering, they encountered three slender hounds tearing and eating something
vaguely resembled the shape of a deer, their mouths bloody, and eyes in frenzy.
The party stood aligned and H the priest unleashed an aura, G and T rushed in
front of the magical fence to repel the attack from the hounds. The beasts
abandoned the feast they were having, obviously angry at the human's intrusion.
Those gory sharp teeth and the low groan made T shivered. He drew out an iron
sword while keeping the torch high to illuminate the room in order to provide
the best field of view. G held tight on his Iron Shield and an iron blade.
Two
hounds charged at them with their muddy claws, G stepped forward and blocked it
with the shield, the two collided claw-on with the shield and sent out a
terrible snap sound of bone fracture, those two let out a cold cry and stayed
down. The third one rolled back barking frantically. T slashed at the two
injured ending their suffering. The last one retreated down the corridor.
The
party resumed their search and came up with quite a few items, including a
shiny orange-red amber that could be used in jewelry, it might yield a few
gold. H tuck it in her pocket smiling, said something like 'a girl looks after
her accessories well'.
Continue
on the path, the soft growl of the hound gave them the chill, such sound could
only be heard from a person's funeral.
The
flame was flickering when they had reached the end of the passage, there was a
hole the size of the hound at the bottom center, but too small for the fully equipped
to crawl through, even for H the slimmest in the party, in which case she would
definitely said no.
The
flame flickered again toward left.
The
flame gave T an idea. He asked G to help him push against the surface of the
rock on the left. Slowly, the rock shifted and eventually they were able to squeeze
into the other side.
It
was a cave, round like a dome and very humid with a hole the size of a window
at the center of the wall, they could hear water running from the outside.
Drops of liquid kept dripping from the top which is about ten meters high when
they walked around the cave.
T
noticed that the top was unnaturally dark. He held up the fire, and as it
happened, hundreds of bats took off at the same time from the ceiling rushing
down toward them and made a sharp turn, out of the hole they went.
