You have fallen through the earth into a large underground
room. You look up and see that the ceiling had been caving in and it was your
weight that had finally broken through. This is a large room that looks to have
been used as a meeting place. To the North is a beautifully decorated wooden
door that says Masters Quarters. To the East is another door not as nice but
still quite decorative that says it is the Guests Quarters. West and South are
exits to other areas.

 

Skeletal Knight:

"Psst child this way... come closer please. I have something to say to you.
You have been unfortunate to fall into this awful place. However, you are here
and could do a service of good.

Will you help a save this wretched place and my wretched soul?"

Choose "Yes, I would be glad to how can I help?"


Skeletal Knight: "To Save us you must kill Jala and put an end to his madness.
You will need Jala's Golden key to get to him. I alone hold the knowledge of
its whereabouts. In order to obtain this information from me you are going to
have to do a favour for me to free my soul from the torture and control of Jala.
You see Jala keeps me in this world to serve him and tortures me for my crusades
against him. The sounds you hear are the sounds of the dead dwarves he slaughtered
here. Find the talisman of the dead and you shall have what you desire. You
might want to try Southeast of here."

then evil shall rule over the soul."
