Dungeon Delve: Jakor's Prison
After the battle with the ghouls, the day quickly turned dark. Cold air came in off the ocean, and dark clouds rolled in. Lightning split the sky and thunder boomed overhead. It was only midday and already it was dark as night. There was never a single drop of rain, just the lightning and the thunder. The air grew dry, the skin prickly with the electric charge building in the air. Small rifts began to form in the air, only lasting a few seconds, but then one of them appeared where Froderick had been standing. He was gone. Suddenly the rifts began to appear more frequently, and more members of the group disappeared, until only the horses were left.
The group found themselves in a dark room standing next to an oddly solid pillar of pale blue light. The was another pillar a little ways off. The floor was rock, as was the wall of the chamber, a square about 80′ to a side. Kleggedin and Johannes soon realized they were not alone. Two basilisks were in the room with them.
The battle was tricky, but both lizards were soon put down, only to disappear. A small plate of steel appeared in their place, along with 7 small wooden chests. Some of the chests contained treasures, others gruesome body parts or useless items. Intrigued by the room and the pillars of light which were apparently portals, the group explored through other rooms, mapping it out. The significance of the small steel squares is yet to be uncovered, as only 6 have been collected. Some are shiny, others are dull, but all are 1″x1″x1/8″ and have holes corresponding to the pillars of light in each room. It was also noted that each room contained a number of creatures equal to the number of pillars, and also that the chests only appeared where there weren’t pillars. Some of the chests were lost, as apparently only the first one touched stayed, the others fading out of existence, but the group was smart, opening as many as they could simultaneously from the first time they found them.
No exit has been found yet, but only about half the prison has been explored.
