Darathorn man human~
the Arch-Villan Darathorn~
Darathorn spins around as you enter his domain, and draws his dagger.

He is short, he could almost be a dwarf, suprising for someone of his
reputation, but he isn't slow...

Darathorn's right-hand woman and second in command, is not your average rogue,
but almost as cunning as Darathorn himself. The evil smirk on her face,
however, indicates that she enjoys her work... killing!

the kadrdw'ws~
The kadrdw'ws bares its teeth at you.
~
You see a creature straight from a nightmare. It is BIG, it is MEAN, and it is
ANGRY. Its entire surface is made up of bits of metal, stone and fur. It's
face is only recognisable as such because of the big hole it uses as its
mouth and its two small red eyes. It may have been human once, but now it
seems that some magic has transformed it into a fearsome beast.

A ladder down~
When you enter the first thing you notice is the hole in the middle
of the floor with a ladder sticking out of it. There is nothing else in the
room and the only other exit is to the south, throught the stone archway. A
cold wind blows out of the hole in the floor.

At the end of the ladder~
You come to the end of the ladder. Above you you see some floorboads
and bellow you is the rest of the ladder.

NO more ladder~
AAAAHHHHH!!!!! where is that ladder. The ladder has been devoured by
the mist. Since the ladder is no longer there, there is nothing preventing
you from falling. And so you do fall... a long long way. You eventually hit
the bottom, bounce twice and that is that.

A CRUSHING experiance~
OOPS!!! As you move back through the hole you bump the unstable rocks
and the last thought on your mind, as thousands of tonnes of rock fall on top
of you, is: "Boy, was that a STUPID thing to do".
