The lever room

lyrics

You are in an intricate dungeon, an underground labyrinth lit by an unknown-origin dim light.
After being bored exploring the silent corridors of this dungeon, finally you hear some noise coming from a short distance. You follow it and see an athletic warrior with a red beard fighting a group of hooded skeletons with rusty daggers. As he sees you, he smiles boldly and says to you: "My friend, welcome! Don’t you think you should offer me your help?". You join the fight and in a while the enemies are reduced to a pile of bones. You look at a skull and you shake horrified: it has 3 orbits! "These are only acolytes, the priests standing guard to the lever are much more dangerous!" the warrior with a red beard says. "Which lever?" you ask. "It is the leverage to deactivate the magical mechanism of this dungeon, my friend! "The dungeon - he explains - is an illusion created by a sect of evil undead priests. Only by pulling the lever you can stop the magic that constantly changes the dungeon. My dear, we will become rich and famous throughout the region for having destroyed the legend of this stupid dungeon!". You choose to give him confidence. You go through stairs and corridors, go through watch posts of acolyte skeletons, to get closer to the infamous lever room. In the final part of the dungeon you face a group of undead priests armed with morning stars and capable of hurling dangerous spells. The warrior with the red beard receive a strong blow and is seriously wounded. You are lucky and you manage to smash their three-orbits-skulls. In the pockets of the priest you find a large bronze key. It opens the door of the lever room. Your partner smiles satisfied and hugs you. "We did it, man!" He slings into the lever room, though he staggers by fatigue and injuries. The lever is massive and seems to be quite hard to move. Indeed he tries to lower it, his muscles tend to the spasm, he clenches his teeth, but nothing. "I'm too weak because of my wounds, my friend!" "I'll take care of it!" you say. You grab the lever with two hands and try to lower it. Ehi, it's like moving a bamboo rod in the water! While you try to figure out what is the problem... beneath your feet, a secret trapdoor opens and you fall. After a fall of about ten metres, you feel a stabbing pain: a pointed post has pierced you, passing you from side to side. In agony at the bottom of the hole, the last thing you see before the end is the face of the warrior with a red beard watching you and mocking you with a devilish grin. He has three eyes.
