Re: Let's Play Secrets of Salamonis (#70) redux?

You follow the sound of footsteps along the tunnel but without managing to catch with whoever is making them. And then the tunnel branches once more, but now you cannot hear any footsteps at all.

Re: Let's Play Secrets of Salamonis (#70) redux?

You descend still further, as the tunnel corkscrews down through solid rock, until you finally arrive at a rough-hewn circular chamber. Leading off from it are two tunnels, but you notice that some strange markings have been chiselled into the rock above each tunnel entrance. The angular shape etch...

‘You know about King Salamon's Mine, don't you?" the Guildmaster asks, without waiting for a reply. ‘It lies in the hills north of the city. Trouble is, when you start digging around underground, it's only going to be a matter of time before you disturb something that would have been better le...

Re: Let's Play Secrets of Salamonis (#70) redux?

There is only one tower on Brightstar Street. On the ground floor is a grand door painted red. You knock on the door, and it is opened by a tiny humanoid with black skin, big eyes and a cherubic face. It is a Chervah.

Dismounting, you dig about in the sandy hole from which the Gretch emerged, and it is not long before you find some bones, picked clean of flesh. They appear to be human.

You continue on your way along the pass, the motion of the horse beneath you lulling you into a more relaxed state as the day progresses.
