HabmorÂ’Anto - the Prison
The three men who stood with Karl follow you as you retreat to the east side of the cavern.
"They call it a Delver," one of the three tells Brugar. "I think it more like a demon, coming forth from whatever dark hell in which it makes its abode, to torment us !"
Though you all watch warily, the creature, demon or no, seems content to munch upon the broken rock, at least for as long as it takes for the Sentinel ran off to return with another man, assumedly the Golos that was called for.
The man seems much like any other prisoner, sullen, worn ... nodding his understanding of whatever instructions the guards give him. Though when one touches his hand to the collar on his neck, causing it to fall away, he gasps as if struck, almost falling.
On command, Golos holds out his hand to accept what seems to be a crystal of some kind, nothing more than a piece of quartz, but from the way he cradles it, precious beyond measure.
The man approaches the creature, the nearby prisoners backing away further, as if expecting the Delver to be incensed by such temerity ... but it ignores him, even as he raises the stone ...
"Dunatis !" Golos cries out, with broken voice, holding the crystal high. "Hear your servant ... guide this child of the earth back to your hearth !"
The creature looks up ... then begins to slowly slide back down into the hole from whence it came.
And as it departs, Golos weeps.
