{6}END OF THE ROAD...{4}THE GOLEM FALLS
{7}With a final, powerful blow, the Stone
{7}Golem shattered into rubble, its final
{7}haunting moan echoing throughout the
{7}depths of the cavern. Elandra spoke,
{7}throwing Endrick a worried glance. "So,
{7}my brother... have you any ideas for
{7}escaping this pit?"
{4}A FRIEND IN THE DARK
{7}"Perhaps I may be of assistance," came a
{7}voice from the shadows. A lone goblin slid
{7}from behind a stalagmite into the cavern.
{7}"My name is Gramuk. Fear me not, for I
{7}have not yet succumbed to the madness
{7}which afflicts my brethen."
{6}END OF THE ROAD...{4}GRAMUK'S STORY
{7}"You see, I have been apart from the
{7}other Goblins for several months. I had
{7}undertaken a quest to map the farthest
{7}reaches of our Realm, that I might prove
{7}my worthiness to wed my beloved. During
{7}my quest, I discovered an exit from the
{7}caverns leading to the uncivilized lands
{7}north of the mountain range. From the
{7}mouth of the cave, I could see a great
{7}volcano in the distance. Its smoking
{7}cone is the source of the shadow that
{7}engulfs Mysteria! I quickly made my way
{7}home, but in my absence, my people had
{7}lost their minds to this evil plague.
{7}So I hid here, and I waited."
{6}END OF THE ROAD...
{4}THE PUZZLE GROWS
{7}Said Endrick to the goblin, "Friend
{7}Gramuk, you should know that the
{7}Human and Mryaal Realms are also
{7}beleaguered by mysterious evils. My
{7}sister and I are seeking answers, but
{7}we have only found more questions."
{4}ANOTHER JOURNEY
{7}"Gramuk," said Elandra, "if you
{7}could lead us to that cave, we might
{7}be able to track the shadow to its
{7}source. Perhaps there we can find
{7}the answers we seek."
{6}END OF THE ROAD...{4}DESCENT INTO DARKNESS
{7}Gramuk bowed humbly. "I would be
{7}pleased to assist you." And so he
{7}led them for two weeks through a
{7}trackless underground wilderness.
{7}At last, the trio reached the cave
{7}entrance of which the Goblin had
{7}spoken.
{4}THE QUEST CONTINUES...
{7}The heroes bid their goblin friend
{7}farewell, and began the long trek
{7}toward the distant volcano. There,
{7}they knew not, their destiny awaited
{7}them. It hid in the shadows, and it
{7}had long since prepared for their
{7}arrival...
