[color="Blue"]Tirandir and †delwynn head back up the dark avenue, the strange elf leading the way. †delwynn wonders at his companion's eyesight, for pretty soon he cannot see a d**nable thing himself, and almost trips and sprawls on his face when they reach the broad stair...

Neither of you can see much further. What now?

He will dig and his lantern and light it, doing his best to shield its radiance from any prying eyes that might be lurking in the shadows.

Referee rolls to determine whether or not the players happen upon any wandering monsters en route...(1d6=2) but their luck holds out, for now!

[color="Blue"]Tirandir and †delwynn proceed back down the arched passage toward the misty chamber where Dishmab fell by the light of †delwynn's lantern. They can already see the dull orange glow of guttering torchlight through the arch, ahead...[/color]
