The Black Citadel

You decide to give the room a quick search. In a desk draw you find a *black key, which you take and examine. It has a beautiful design and appearance with depictions of spirals covering it and you decide to pocket it. There is also a *Ring of Weaken. The spell contained in it can only be used once with no mana cost to yourself.

In front of the broken balcony you find a necklace with a large stone hanging from it as a pendant. The red stone has a bat engraved into it. Perhaps it fell off the vampire, struggling in his final death throws with the golemn? You unclasp the *bloodstone off the necklace and pocket it. It suddenly dawns on you, what did the vampire say? That he was 'the second guardian of the sacred stones'. So the vampire was the second and the medusa was most probably the first, because she too had a necklace and a pendant stone almost identical to the one you just pocketed. So then the black key you just discovered, you assume, opens the door to yet another guardian. What could be worse than facing a vampire in combat? Maybe a lot of things, can a dragon be squeezed into a room this size? More importantly, who are these guardians and what is their purpose?
