Forsaken Halls

The party travelled southwest through the Hanal Marshlands until they reached an entrance to a cave at the base of the stone peaks. The entrance was guarded by a massive living tree, which was quickly slain by the party.

Etchings Outside the Entrance
Etched into the wall near the entrance to the cave were four symbols, which were quickly recognized by Enna who translated the inscription which read:


 * "There is another entrance / exit. Not a dead end."
 * "There are traps inside"
 * "Extreme Danger"
 * "Treasure/Profits Ahead"

Within the Halls
The party entered the cave and found themselves in the Forsaken Halls, an ancient structure with dark slick walls. From the walls they could see a glowing fungus which provided the party with enough light to see. When the party looked up, no ceiling was visible, instead the walls seemed to go up endlessly and disappear into darkness.

Within the halls the party enountered a group of orcs, who appeared to be searching for something. They defeated the orcs, and noticed they had a strange insignia sewn into their armour.The party solved three puzzles, one involving poisonous water, another requiring an offering of blood, and a third needing a donation of fire. Each puzzle solution yielded a key, which they used deeper in the halls to open a great ornate door. Inside the locked room they met and defeated a creature named Zaziel, who appeared to be guarding a ring sitting on a pedestal. Torgen picked up the ring.
