Once again we're back after a long break, but it's taking a long time to write the chapters now as they're getting longer. So bear with me! This time they find the dungeon, with a slight twist…
The two buddies quickly left the metallic pyramid, as not wanting to receive early death. When the sun arose and they emerged from the small shelter they had been hiding in, it was time for action to be taken.
"Before we do anything else with that death trap, we need to find the madman who built it!"
Xephos was furious that someone had invaded their quaint land (at least that was how he saw it.) However the small man seemed determined to crack the mystery of the pyramid.
"We need some sustainable materials, with them we can make a bucket to put out the lava."
That was not how they spent their day. They searched above ground, and the sights they saw were not pretty. Many more "dark constructions" seem to have "invaded" their quaint land. Which were obviously built by hand, which meant that they were not alone. However after getting side-tracked, the next day they dug two tunnels from the cave and pyramid leading underground. Xephos couldn't help noticing that this is the first thing the dwarf excelled in. As the day wore on, and their muscles began to ache after swinging pickaxes all day, the spaceman dug into another tunnel. The two spelunkers entered and soon slipped. After the dwarf managed to make a fire out of flint and a stick, the sight they saw was not pleasant. Blood (both their own and an unknown source, fresh and dried), water and some slimy material. A noise of an undead monster broke out in front of them. Swords in hand, the two rushed forward and entered a massive cavern. Zombies roamed and a chained skeleton was against a wall.
As the last head of a monster fell to the ground, the dwarf mounted a torch on the wall and the two began to investigate. The only conclusion was that this was an old underground prison, and the skeleton was a prisoner. On the opposite wall was a message sprawled in blood… Help!
Ooh scary cliffhanger! You'll just have to wait and see what happens after that!
