Re: Chapter 3: The Beast of Barren Hill
Marklin and Valthur jump free of the scorching flames moments before either is caught unawares. Both members had their heads, and bodies, on a swivel and do well to avoid becoming victims of the cunning trap.
At any rate, the door swings open revealing a natural tunnel leading deeper into the Hill. The tunnel stretches away to the southwest, veering westward after about 20 feet, disappearing beyond the edge of either the torchlight or Valthur's infravision. Marklin and Valthur stand at the secret door, peering down the tunnel, while the rest of the party awaits their appraisal.
