D&D TWLD Kai Abridged Ultra Season 2 Longtail's Destiny Chapter 2 Crossing the Threshold
DTN S2E2
swishing
You approach
the uh...
entrance
You exit the dark
and yes
dank
narrow passageway
to emerge
to a worked
stone floor
Looking about you
you see that you have
entered a large square
chamber
Hewn completely from
stone
you notice two stone doors
one (1) to your side
and the other infront of you
this is YOUR last chance
to rest
Once you cross the threshold
you're just going to be
in the thick of it
and uh... if you need to
rest
rest now
I mean it
reflect before entering the
dungeon
You are at the entrance
chamber
Nothing else enters
An inspection of the doors
reveals that
they are absolutely
featureless
Devoid of any markings or
symbols
devoid of any sign of use
you may open either of the
doors by simply placing
your hand on it
and putting the door
gently glides
inward
and remains open
once you cross the threshold
the door slams shut
You'll only be going forward
now
there is no turning back
as you push the door
the edge disappears
the blackness that lies
just beyond
you allow the door to open
completely
and watch as more and more
of it
swallowed up by the barrier
until its hinges are visible
pearing cautiously into the
darkness
for signs of movement
you see nothing
even your ears can only detect
your breathing
of your fellow adventureers
or you're just by yourself
completely alone
in isolation
going through this
large mad dungeon
the dark space reveals nothing
of what lied beyond
the doorway circumscribes
an area that is permanently
warded
I don't even like corn on the cob
oblique
magical field
this field prevents all vision
including darkvision
low light vision
as well as
all sound
from passing through one (1)
side to the other
in either direction
in condition
the magical field
has an unusual permanent
force effect
that allows creatures and items
to enter into the dungeon
without difficulty
absolutely prevents them from
leaving
As you enter into this room
the markings and general decor
show that
you are most clearly inside an
Orc Stronghold
a former
Orc Stronghold
within this region
Orcs choose this region
closest to the entrance
for defensive reasons
and launch all their search
expeditions
from here (hear?)
fortunately
this portion of the dungeon
is unusually strong
and these abilities
limit the orcs
abilities
to search and explore
the different parts
of the dungeon
as the conflict with the
reptillians escalated
the orcs leader
an orc barbarian
named Oghar
decided it was time to force
a decision
marshalling the orcs
he led them in an all or
nothing
assualt
on
the reptillians
throughout the
dungeon
as a result
this section of the dungeon
has been abandoned
by the orcs
since that time
although
they plan to return here
and establish a
Garrison
to guard the
entrance
they were victorious
this has not yet come to pass
while the unexpected release
of extraplanar beast
and the subsequent
disimination
and fragmentation
of Riot
only the Orc
also the reptillians
forces
this section is wide
open to humanoid survivors
that can make it this far
but it looks like
uh...
all the orcs might already be
dead
lucky you
I thought you were about to
fight through an entire orc
stronghold
your torchlight glimmers
feebly in this
complete gloom
lighting up a small region
it appears to be a large room
two iron doors
straight ahead of you
to it's side
the only things that
break up the unending mass
of worked stone
the chill and damp air
clings to your body
and you are not only one (1)
feeling at judging
the cough coming out of the
darkness
you hear a cough
three orc warriors
looks like they are not all
dead
they stayed hudled together
northeast corner of the room
one (1) of them trying to
styfle another's cough
they are an asari remnant
of the
orc forces
that followed Longtail
into the dungeon
and look extremely haggered
deep bags over their eyes
scar marked faces
ashen paleness
warning of their
weakened state
the orcs were trying to hide
from you but
you rush in and slay them
for XP (experience)
You are going to need to
slay a lot more orcs
if you want to get
to level eight (8)
