Liknud's lair

from HDK 128 † The orchid of life by PAFUND

/

lyrics

Around you are rock walls, giving off a sulphurous-yellow glow and in answer to your unspoken question, Tamlane says: “We are inside the cave. Liknud is here somewhere – I can sense his presence”. Tamlane stands back giving you a long look: “Fortunately, I arrived just in time; those were Liknud’s minions who attacked you – another minute and you would have been dead. However, all is well now, and we must press on – come!”. Before you have even got to your feet the Elf has darted away to the North and, when you rise, calling his name there is no sign of him. Maybe you just had a hallucination? If it was a hallucination, this hallucination helped you defeat the guardians of Liknud’s lair. What you know is that this cavern smells of magic and mystery.

A tunnel runs away North and ends at a pair of metal-studded wooden doors. You listen cautiously, but they are too thick for you to make out any sounds beyond. However, since this is the way that Tamlane went, you assume he must be beyond somewhere, and gently push at one of the doors. Somewhat to your surprise, it swings easily and noiselessly open and you look in. A fair- sized room is beyond, rock-walled and bare – except for the shackles set into the walls every six feet. Two exhausted-looking men hang by their wrists directly opposite you, and two men you assume to be guards sit at a low table, lethargically playing some kind of game with dice.

The guards are half-asleep and the room is deeply shadowed you may well be able to reach the exit doors on the opposite wall unnoticed... but maybe your conscience will tell you that you will have to free the poor prisoners and fight for the umpteenth time with other stinking humanoid soldiers...
