[USEC_OFFICER]

The masked pyromancer turns to regard their companions. Their withered lips crack open in a wide smile, revealing plenty of yellowed and missing teeth. As they incline their head in greeting, they also check that all of their equipment and items are where they should be. "My, my. What unusual company for an unusual place. I am Ywis of the Great Swamp," they say, pronouncing it as Ye-Wise with their thick accent, "Who might you two be?"

[SOLDIER First]

they also check that all of their equipment and items are where they should be.

Ywis, along with everyone else, has all of their equipment with them.

[SOLDIER First]

She examines the area around her.

There is nothing of interest nearby except the wall, the empty plains stretching behind you, and the door.

[kj1225]

Boudicca shrugs. After glancing at the field she steps aside.
"Be my guest. Surely whatever is inside would be better than turning back and throwing our mercy to the elements.
The Old Ones are merciful but even they have theit limits."

[Sanure]

Melodia looks at around her before attempting to open the prison door.

[SOLDIER First]

Evangeline, Sola, Melodia

It's locked tight. There's no way to get it open.

Wait-- no, it's just rusted with years and years of neglect. The door stutters open with a loud screech of metal on metal that echoes through the dungeon - for that's where you must be, right? An ancient dungeon?

To your left, the hallway ends with a brick wall. Down to the right the hallway extends many yards, but you see another cell, left open. A corpse lies against the far wall. You feel... drawn to it, for some reason. All three of you.

[Twinwolf]

Nodding, Meredith opens the door with her left hand, right hand on her blade.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

"Owwwwww..."

Man, that hurt a lot. Being Undead sucked, big time, as far as Evangeline was concerned. Her memory got even worse, other people who weren't Undead generally reacted wit hostility to her mere presence and now the accursed Darksign was randomly burning her. There was absolutely no benefit to this. None whatsoever.

Well, except for that 'can't die' thing but it wasn't like that had come up much so far.

No point on dwelling on that now though. There were more important things to worry about, like where she was right now and how to get out. This place was dark and small and damp and she would rather be anywhere else right now.

"Ahaha... I don't suppose either of you would know where we are?" , she says as she gets up, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly.

She then notices that Armored Lady #1 has already opened the door thanks SB.

"Nevermind then. What's with the corpse?"

[Sanure]

Melodia raises her shield, and approaches the corpse, "... I don't know."

[SOLDIER First]

Boudicca, Ludek, Meredith

The door swings open with surprising smoothness, revealing a room furnished with wooden tables and chairs. Most are intact, though a few lie in broken pieces scattered here and there. Barrels and crates are stacked high in the corners or shoved towards the walls haphazardly.

At the far end of the room stands a titanic figure, clad entirely in dark metal armor; the helmet upon its head has a wicked, curving spike on top. In its hands are a greatshield nearly as tall as a normal man, and a massive warmace. The figure slowly turns around as you enter with the sound of heavy footsteps and clanking metal, staring silently at the three of you, but otherwise unmoving.

Evangeline, Sola, Melodia

The corpse lies still in its cell, with pieces of flesh and skin missing here and there; clearly it had been so for a long time. As you draw closer, it even seems to glow, very faintly.

Melodia has the sudden urge to touch it.

[Sanure]

Melodia lowers her shield and reaches for the corpse.

[Adragis]

"...ngh."
With one sudden movement, Sola pulls herself and the accompanying mass of metal to a sitting position. With another, she is standing, and slowly edging towards the corpse.
"What manner of compulsion is this, that compels me to approach? Fear not, you two - I shall take the lead."
With which she attempts to interpose herself between Melodia and the corpse. Which, as a wall of metal, is a fairly easy task.

[Sanure]

"I'm already here. just be patient."

[Adragis]

"Madam, your recklessness ails me."
Sola's attempt to intercede is, however, interrupted by the doorframe. Being a wall of metal has disadvantages, it seems.
"Please reconsider, lest some curse fall upon you from this endeavour."

[Sanure]

"I'll be fine... I already befell one curse, what's a second, or third..." Her words are slightly harsh, but only to herself.
