The Black Citadel
As you finish putting your sword into the final succubus lying on the floor of the cave, you look across as Vandil is in the process of loping off the head of another fallen succubus that is kneeing before him. You both look at each other, you pick up your fallen oil-lamp and you both move forward into the darkness of the cavern.
At the far end of the icy cavern you can make out three sets of stakes, all with blindfolded young girls tied to them. You can hear muffled sounds coming from one of them on the left through the dirty gag around her mouth.
Suddenly your keen senses pick up the sensation of an incantation that has just initiated. There is some presence in here that is about to cast a spell, but you don't know where it's coming from. Vandil lets out a shout and there is a whooshing sound as he throws his sword through the air with such agility and grace to strike something in the darkness behind the central of the girls tied to a stake. A moan follows as something falls to the ground. You both run over to find another unarmed succubus with Vandil's sword impaled straight through her chest.
"Nice throw Vandil, I'm sure she didn't she that coming," you grin.
You both quickly notice that two of the girls here are already dead, only bleeding holes remain in their chests where their hearts used to be. The succubae, it seemed, were participating in some bizarre ritual here when the two of you decided to drop in. The fallen succubus here has blood covered hands, so you assume she was the priestess ruling the unholy ritual here.
You both go over to the girl still alive and untie her filthy bonds. Elated, she says her name is Teil and she asks some questions as to her fathers whereabouts. You tell her that you will take her back to her father immediately. Vandil makes a quick search of the cavern before you head back and he finds the following things:
*Two sets of Chain Mail (+2)
*Two sets of Greaves (+1)
*Scroll of Telekenisis (Lv.1)
*Mana potion
*6 diamonds
You divide the armour between you. You look quite good in your new chain mail and the shiny greaves fit comfortably.
Remember: (the armour doesn't fit in your backpack, so you'll have to replace your existing ring mail, if you still have it, with the higher quality chain mail).
You take the scroll, potion and pocket your share of three diamonds (1 diamond = 3 gold coins).
