More like a stone table with imprinted slots for amor peices. (Ring, chest, shield, Legs, Arms, Helmet, Shield) They must be the peices Gafaras and Baxter have informed you of. The party then begins searching the room. On the left they find a Brick that is loose. Upon moving the brick a door slides open. The bottom western side of the room is now open. The party walks through the Hallway, Hombus, Valaska, Athrogate and Zarc. Venturing fourth through the moist stone hallway. They come to a room that drops down about a foot, well lit with magical white glowing runed tiles. There is a skeleton/corpse with a red ring on the finger. in the top right corner of the room. In the center of the room there is an 8 foot tall pillar that is about 4 feet in circumfrance with a Solid Chest Held tightly by two Chains extending from the walls on the north and south side. Upon Hombus the theif testing the tiles by throwing a dagger onto them. They notice As the dagger skips across the tiles each one casts a different but deadly spell. Magic missles, lightning bolts and fireballs, followed by acid arrows fly fourth from the tiles. Soon after they see a ghostly figure near the corpse. It then disappears. The party notices it is the spirit of the slain corpse on the floor. The spirit shows its own death upon re-enacting in spirit form the death from long ago. The party realizes the spirit wishes to be put to rest. Upon looting the ring and burying the corpse. The thankful spirit shows the correct path on the tiles, Allowing a safe passage for Athrogate the Dwarven Ranger and his party in order to loot the chest upon the pillar. The Red Ring: Ring of 10 seconds of 100% fire resistance. 1 use per hour. Upon looting the chest, the party finds a glowing blue gem, and a Dark black cloak.

Upon a platform. The party is unable to do anything here but pull one of the statues arms down, causing the third door to open. Inside was a room of magical Darkness. Upon entering Valaska Realizes that the door seems hundreds of miles away. As a feeling of overwhelming sorrow flows over her body. Running back to the door in fear for what seemed to be days. The party was only waiting for a few seconds. Upon checking for magical properties above the door it read in an anceient language: "Face your fears." Valask Ran into the dark room, running as far as she could go, until the light of the door faded. Facing all fear of being lost. The room lit up. To reveal the light of the room removed the magical darkness. Valaska had faced the darkness and revealed the light. The party entered the room to see Valaska in the middle of the room.

As Valaska casts detect magic, It is but an illusion. As you see the Legplates of the iron knight floating in the middle of the room. They then easily looted. The next room is a mere pile of bones, Upon disturbing the bones a clicking sound is heard. and a howling from outside the temple front door. Athrogate is weary. He knows tales of the Werewolves and how deaded they are in the woods of Quelos Nira. The bones in the room start forming into skeletons but are soon smashed to bits.

They begin to tell you all a story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cleric Knowledge: The sun problem The Problem: The current society has existed for thousands of years, but the world is much older than that. The basic question the whole world now asks itself is "What makes the Sun rise, and why has it stopped?" To find the answers, you must delve into knowledge of the ancient past, to a time before the society and, before the ancient gods, back to the beginning of the world... and back to the magic that makes the sun arise The Sun: Deep beneath the surface, beneath the darkened crust, lies an enormous cavern at the center of Dalruan. In this cavern, the Mythril Titan has been cranking the Wheel of the Sun since the Beginning of Time, and it is this wheel that causes the sun to rotate around the world. That is until recently. An ancient red dragon, the Eldest of All Dragons, has made its way to the center of the earth, destroyed the Mythril Titan in a battle that caused the very earth to shake, and made the cavern its lair. The Solution: An ancient medallion exists, known only to a handful of sages and thought to be a legend by those few - The Mythril Heart. The players must learn of the Heart, find it, and discover its secrets. Baxter has forgotten where the heart is, But he knows where the Scroll is that can locate the heart. The 8 clerics inform the party that they must find the Mithril compass. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After returning and recovering in the town of Pax Tharkas.

The Jinn inside of Thane is eating away at his soul. He must remove it, He feels it taking over. He asks the elders how to handle the demon inside of him. The elder Farham of Pax Tharkas lets thane know that his soul is under fire and it might be lost within the darkness of the Jinn. There is knowledge of a book of soulfire and the jinn soulfire gems, You must go to the lair of fire and Remove the Jinn from Thanes body. (complete) Through Slaying Magma gollems, Fire imps and Scorpion elementals, The Lair of fire allowed the party to gain peices of the soulfire gems throughout the dungeon. Athrogate was reminded of his Childhood in the woods of Quelos Nira during the summertime. Hot winds blowing through the pine swept trees. It was the inscriptions on the walls of the ancient firey Lair that reminded him of such things Where he tossed all sorts of different weapons at the trees near his home. Sharpening his skills since a child of young. but that is another story. Currently At the end of this lair all the gems were placed upon a round table that held thane tightly and securely with the use of iron chains. The gems began to glow. Through the dungeon each time the players found a gem, Thane would then go Berzerk trying to escape. Gaining the Strength of the jinn Thane would try and destroy the party, but with each Gem found. The party would use Valaskas new ability of runescribing to slay parts of the Jinns soul that was sucked out and into the gem from Thanes body. Helping Thane Recover. The final placement of the gems opened a portal into the Jinns realm. The only way to truely defeat the Jinn Was to send only one memeber into the portal. Handed all relics, potions and weapons of power. Athrogate advanced on the portal opened by the 6 Jinn soulfire Gems. Wreathed in flame Athrogate the Dwarven Ranger walked in. He entered a flaming realm, Atop a mountain of fire, A castle of Ash and lava Across the stone pathway he walked, Towards the Jinn's Throne. A throne made of fire sat the incarnation of this Iferit. Athrogate raised his Two Magical swords Runed with perfect gems, Inscribed by Valaska. "Walk no further mortal! For I hold the book of soulfire!" the Jinn snarled from his Firey throne. "In this realm I am a god!" The Jinn yells. Athrogate raised up his swords and began to charge. The Jinn hails him with magic missles. Flying fourth with flames trailing. Athrogate slips dropping one of his swords, getting hit and charrged by the missles. He rolls over badly hurt, Reaching his charred hands into his bag for a potion. "ughhhh!" he moans, in emense pain. He then remembers and slides his hand into his pocket. Putting on the RED RING! "hahahahahhahaha! the dwarf cries." As he slowly sits up and drinks a large potion of healing. "You think flame can hurt the Weilder of Such power? my weapons are forged by the gods!" Athrogate stands up. Grasping his Socketed scimitar +2 with a perfect Magic missle Rune. His last hope before death.... For his sly toung Athrogate is trying to fool the Jinn Into thinking he has god weapons. "I am Athrogate! Weilder of Ordumtil!!!! The sword of fire!!!! Blast fourth all flame upon me DEMON!!!!" As the Jinn charges up "You are no god Nor weilder of Anceint Flame!!!!!!!! DIE MORTAL!!!!!" and... all the flame in the realm shoot fourth in bolts and beams from the Demon Jinn's hands. Athrogate activates the red ring. He feels the magic flow fourth, Feeling the pain but suffering through it he lets out a stout but painful dwarven laugh. After the Demon was done, Left stunned. Athrogate Stopped laughing. "You see demon. I am a dwarf of legend!!!!!!" The Jinn Shocked gasps for air. "NO!!!!!!, It can not be!! I weild the book of soulfire!" He begins to get up from his throne, and turn away frightend. Athrogate sees his chance. The portal he came through begins to close. Time stops for Athrogate. He feels cold as the flames around him begin to slow. For its not fear that grips him, It is the thought of winning. Athrogate tosses His scimitar through the air, feeling as if he were a child once more in the warm woods of Quelos Nira, Whiriling and spinning towards the Jinn. The Jinn turns back just to see the look on Athrogates face, happily smiling with the feeling of warmth and joy from a long lost childhood as it cuts and punctures deep into the firey scalp of the Demon. The book of soulfire falls to the floor, Athrogate must decide. Can he get the book, and make it to the portal in time? Using all of the Dexterity he had gathered since birth, Growing up as a Ranger in the woodlands of Quelos. He sprang foreward. The Jinn was falling in slow motion. The book leaving the Demons hands, As Each step pushed Athrogate foreward. His boots ripping from the speed. The flames crashing down all around him. He makes it to the book. Turns back to see the portal half way closed and moving fast. On the other side of the portal, Valaska, Zarc and the still Chained and unconcious Thane await as they notice the portal closing. "He wont make it in time!" Zarc screams. The dwarf puts his feet to the test. Not rock has he climbed not tunnels has he dwelled. For it was woodland and sky that he worships and loves. All these years of swinging, climbing trees, Raising his dexterity to the maximum. Remembering himself unarmed He pulls out his other sword that Valaska gave him.. And clasps it tightly. He feels something on the handle as he holds it tighter. Its a rune. And as his touch activates the runes enscribed into the sword. He remembers when Valaska gave him the sword she said "use it for godspeed." and godspeed it was, for the haste rune inside the sword was active! "Valaska you have saved us again!" As the dwarf Bolts towards the almost closed portal, Hurling through head first hitting the ground on the other side like a ton of bricks. He has made it. He has won. The party then uses the book of soulfire To Free Thane Completely. and entrap the soul from the book into a Rune, Which was used to Craft Zarc a Hellfire Blade. His new weapon in arms. The party then went with Thane, Retiring him back to the town of Galvin, For his adventuring days were over. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 8: The Mythril heart Scroll: After Thane retires, You are resting at Home in Galvin.
