June 11, 1372


June 11th starts late in Tybol. It is hot and rainy. By late in the morning Nuanna has prayed for a cure disease spell; this she bestows on Kadlian, followed by a cure light wounds, which works this time. Soon she has him healed right up.

You head over to the mayor's office early in the afternoon. He is not there but he has left instructions with an assistant, who takes you out to view the other three known entrances to the dungeons below the town.

Tybol is actually built on both sides of a small river; a bridge connects the two halves. There is one more entrance known on this (the west) side of town: it is through the cellar of another inn several blocks from the one you are staying at.

Heading across the river, the assistant leads you a small tavern a half a block from the bridge and takes you down into the cellar. Again, there is a secret door leading into a dank, dismal passage.

Finally, he leads you from the inn and takes you down a narrow alley which ends at the crumbling walls of a small moat house by the bank of the river. Abandoned for several hundred years, he leads you inside through the gate and across the courtyard to the small keep within. The door gapes open, and he motions you nervously inside. A hallway ends at a flight of stairs leading down into darkness.

"The dungeons lie below," he says, licking his dry lips. "I will go no further, for monsters lurk down there."

He turns and hurries out, leaving you to find your own way back to the Inn With Lots Of Stairs.

"Nervous guy, ain't he?" Niko says as he draws his flaming cutlass and magic dagger.

"Are we going forward or making a plan?"

Apparently neither, as no one replies. So, you head back to the inn.


next day...
