In the morning, he set off north. After half a day of travel, Gulruris finally reached his target: the vault of Keepergorges. The walls of the vault were made of a stone he had never seen before, a black stone that seemed to suck in all light. Once arriving, he filled up his waterskin with melted snow and went inside. Inside the first room was a lever, which he pulled. After going through a few rooms, he found a staircase down. That led to a large, sloping, semicircular room. This room also had a lever. When Gulruris pulled the lever, the movement of some bars on the wall drew his eye. He went through where the bars had been, leading to more rooms and more downward staircases.
In one room, he saw a square of metal leaning up against one wall. The metal was like no other he had seen. It seemed to glow with a ruddy light, even in the darkness. He picked it up and noticed that it was very light for such a thick piece of metal. He then turned it around and saw there were straps on the back. It must be a shield, but a very strange one. He went through many rooms, pulling levers and opening doors. He found many more strange shields and he took them all.
Finally Gulruris came to a large, semicircular chamber. In the center was a pedestal with the most valuable object Gulruris could imagine: a massive platinum slab, engraved with some sort of writing. Gulruris stared at the amazing treasure.
Gulruris didn't know how long it took him to carry the massive slab up all the stairs, but by the time he reached the entrance, night had fallen. He slept in the entrance of the vault, using the slab as a bed. In the morning he began the long trek back towards his home.
The way back was relatively uneventful. The only thing of note was when Gulruris was attacked by a mixed gang of demons, goblins, and trolls where he gained the title Gugustnos, "Lulledgrottoes". Upon reaching home, Gulruris climbed to the top of the cave and put the slab there for all to see. He wasn't just Gulruris anymore - he was Gulruris, the Greatest Thief.
