Black Wastes - A Bleak Path~
Sand dunes rise up on each side of the path; the wind constantly blowing

the sand around in a frenzy.  A small wall of stones lines the path

heading to the north and south here.  Deep ruts made by numerous people

walking back and forth are testament to the heavy usage of this path. 

Off to the north the path continues through the sand dunes while to the

south it intersects a barren road.

Black Wastes - A Bleak Path~
The path winds its way along the rolling sand dunes of the wastes as it

continues to the east and south.  Several small piles of black volcanic

rock rest along the path, each partially crystalized.  Along the western

sand dunes bits of bleached-white bones peek out from beneath the sand. 

A few small boulders lie along the path but other than that it is barren.

tracks~
The tracks have been made by a large humanoid creature.  Looking closely

the tracks look like they were made by an ogre or troll but are too

distorted to tell for sure.  The tracks head off towards the east and

south followed by several sets of smaller humanoid footprints.

~

bleached-white bones~
Digging the sand away from around the bone fragments you uncover the

skeletal remains of a humanoid being.  Examining the bones carefully you

see that they are from a fairly large humanoid, about the size of a full

grown troll.

volcanic rock~
These massive black rocks have been fused with bits of a strange bluish

metal.  Holes and niches cover the surface of the rocks.  The sides of

the rocks are completely smooth and only the occasional hole or crack is

Black Wastes - A Bleak Path~
Enormous sand dunes rise up to the east and south of you, obscuring your

field of vision of the surrounding terrain.  A few small bones litter the

ground, apparently from some small animal.  A fierce wind blows across

the area, sending clouds of dust and sand flying in every direction.  You

are able to wind your way north and west through the dunes, following a

primitive rocky path.

Black Wastes - Bleak Path~
This rocky path works its way in between several sand dunes as it

continues through the wastes.  To the north and west of here lie large

mounds of sand, which look far too steep to climb.  To the east a dark

cave rises up from the carpet of sand.  To the south the path heads down

the dunes, snaking its way towards the outline of a road.

Black Wastes - Before a Dark Cave~
Several humanoid skulls litter the floor before the mouth of this large,

dark cave.  Bits and pieces of bone lie in piles along with the skulls

giving the impression of ghastly deaths.  Broken swords and punctured

platemail, covered in rust and sand, lie just before the mouth of the

cave.  Below you a dark, musty tunnel descends into the ground from which

a foul stench emanates.  To the west a small, rocky path heads away from

the cave.

A Musty Tunnel~
A thick layer of slick, green-colored moss clings to the walls of this

vertical passage.  Water trickles down the smooth grey stone walls making

the surface quite slippery.  Carved into the southern wall of the passage

are several craggy holes, each chisled out by unskilled hands.  Below you

the passage is illuminated very faintly and the sound of dripping water

reaches your ears.  Above you the passage heads back out to the surface.

A Musty Tunnel~
The constant sound of dripping water echoes down the tunnels, its source

unknown.  The floor of the tunnel is covered in pools of water which have

made it very slick, causing you to grab hold of the walls to remain

standing.  Directly to the north the sound of sputtering torches can be

heard along with the sight of what could be a door.  Above you the tunnel

continues, heading back out into the open air.

Two lone torches lie on the east and west walls of this room, partially

illuminating the great stone door that has been set into the northern

wall.  The only sound that can be heard is that of dripping water and the

crackle of the torches' flames as they lick the damp walls.  The air is

quite clammy; the humidity causes sweat to bead off your skin.  To the

south the tunnel extends into darkness.

Rows of torches on the east and west walls run the length of the tunnel,

illuminating it slightly.  The ceiling floor and walls are composed of

smooth grey stone which is slightly reflective.  Large wooden beams stand

along the walls, supporting the stone ceiling's massive weight.  To the

south a great stone door rises up from within the wall.

deep cuts and scars made by metal tools.  The constant sound of

occasionally blows through, causing the torches to crackle as their

flames lick the damp stone walls.  To the east and west large stone doors

rise up, bearing no marks of who might dwell here.

This small, cube-shaped room has been carved out from slick grey stone.

pikes and spears, larger than normal ones.  A few slabs of beef lie

scattered about the room which bear large teeth marks suggesting someone

has been dining on them recently.  To the east a large stone door stands,

Made from strips of animal fur, leather and fine cloth, this bedroll is

sized for a human-sized being or larger.  Most of the bedroll has been

eaten away by moths and dirt; mildew and some other unknown substances

cover it creating a foul stench.

black wooden table~
The table is about four feet long by three feet wide and is made from a

black wood.  Slabs of rotted meat lie atop it, a few covered in swarms of

maggots and other insects.  An empty wooden mug rests at the back of the

table, filled with some liquid which smells like pure alcohol.

Torch-Lined Passage~
Thick cobwebs hang down from the ceiling, partially blocking the view of

the north passage.  A portion of the eastern wall is made of sandstone

and has partially collapsed into a mound of sand.  The floor is quite

slippery due to the very moist air in the caves, causing you to move very

slowly and carefully.

colored stone, standing out from the smooth grey stone walls all around

The chandelier is made from hundreds of multi-colored crystal shards

Dining Hall - North End~
The walls of this portion of the chamber are covered in splatters of

blood, dried bits of meat, and some other material you cannot identify. 

Several large, unopened wooden crates lie stacked up in the northwestern

corner of the room, covered in many layers of dust and cobwebs.  A few

open barrels of ale sit along the northern wall, the stench of alcohol

wafting up from within them.  To the east a large stone door has been

placed.

Dark Passage~
Moving through the passage you grope blindly around for the walls as your

light source does little to break the darkness of the area.  A gentle

*crunch* echoes down the passages as you look down to see a pile of small

bones, possibly from some small desert animal.  A few small puddles of

water lie along the passage floor, making the ground very slippery.  The

passage continues to the east and south from here.

Mounds of gold coins fill this large cubic room, glistening in the

light.  Large sacks filled with precious gems lie scattered about the

room in a unorganized manner.  Several chests rest along the western

wall, some open and empty while others remain closed and locked.  In the

center of the room lies a single gold brazier from which a large blue

flame provides lighting for the room.  A large, glowing glyph lies etched

into the southern wall, emitting a faint humming sound.  To the east the

faint outline of a blackish-colored door can be seen.

The sacks are filled with several precious gems, from diamonds to

are of colors you have never seen before.

Thick cobwebs hang down from the ceiling creating a tangled mess of

across the walls and down the tunnel.  In the southwest corner of the

The pile of straw is covered in mildew and grime that has accumulated

Bubbling cauldrons, tables covered in glass vials and alchemy devices

fill this large room.  Upon the western wall are several sets of shackles

in which humanoid skeletal remains still rest.  Looking down on the floor

you notice a painting of fearsome ogres battling hordes of black dragons. 

A large bookcase stands against the eastern wall, filled with several

scrolls, books, and dusty tomes.  At the far northern end of the room

sits a large throne made from many humanoid bones and skulls.  To the

The massive cauldrons are made of a red-orange iron covered in scorch

the firepits beneath them.  A foul stench like that of pure sulphur wafts

out from within them and every few moments a splatter of some

reddish-colored ooze spills out over the edges.

shackles~
These wrought iron shackles have been hammered into the wall by great

steel spikes which hold them securely in place.  Each set of shackles is

a different size, ranging from gnome to troll size.  The shackles

themselves are covered in dried blood from past foes who were unfortunate

enough to be chained in here.  A few humanoid skeletons, covered in

tattered rags, still lie shackled to the wall.

~
E
painting floor~
The painting has been made using what looks like blood and mutli-colored

clay.  The mural depicts several large ogres in platemail assaulting a

horde of black dragons.  Ogres mounted on large sand-colored lizards rush

up from the rear of the battle.  In the center of the mural an abnormally

large ogre dressed in heavy black robes stands with his hands pointed at

a rather large dragon as it is hit by a fireball.  On the far corner of

the mural a large, red winged demon floats above the ground, as if

observing the ferocious battle.

~
E
bookcase~
The bookcase is made from highly polished birchwood and has a series of

minature ogres carved into it.  Rows of books, scrolls and old tomes,

covered in dust, lie along the shelves.  A single, flesh-bound book rests

ontop of the bookcase, a faint howl emanating from within it.

~
E
throne~
Composed of several humanoid skulls and other bones, the throne is quite

massive, able to seat at least two human-sized men side by side.  The

bones are very glossy in appearance and a few have had gems embedded into

them.  Scraps of purple velvet hang along the backboard and a mottled

cushion rests in the seat itself.

~
E
humanoid skeletons~
The skeletons are those of a gnome, a human and a rather large troll. 

Each of the skeletons is covered in a set of tattered rags which emit a

foul stench of decaying flesh.  Looking closely you notice that the
