Shalandra is quietly working with Shalamar who everyone can notice is getting agitated and nervous.
We stay towards the back of the group (so Shalamar can kick enemies if needed)

Subject: Earthdawn PBeM BN 6.6 Into the Kaer
You gather your gear together early on the third morning. Most of you having suffered bad dreams over the previous nights of betrayal and death.
Todiel is insistent that he come with you further into the Kaer and that he travel all the way with Temorya, keen to protect his body should anything happen.
You begin the long walk down the stair into the Kaer entrance chamber. The stairway contains long level stairs that drop slowly in angle, easily the work of an elementalist for to do it by hand would have taken centuries.
You walk for just under a mile and pass an area that surely would have been used for defending the Kaer in a breach, but the area is spotless and there is no sign of a struggle here. Another several hundred yards and you see the meeting hall stretch out ahead of you.
The light quartzes that line the walls of the kaer chamber are dimmed and provide only scant illumination. Little of the light actually reaches the floor and you can see why Todiel has had trouble in mapping the Kaer. The cavernous hall stretches off to both sides and you can see an opening to your left (west) that Todiel states goes into the food chamber as he had recorded on his map upstairs.
You can hear movement in the Kaer entrance hall but you cannot see it. Todiel cringes at the sound, as though it was bone dragged over rock constantly. There are also murmurs as if it were beings having a hushed conversation filtering out of the darkness ahead of you. You seem not to have been noticed and have just realised that this Kaer must once have held over 10000 residents. It is huge and there is much ground to cover before you could possibly find what you have come here to get.
Whatever creature took this Kaer is obviously still in existence and its servants still move amongst the chamber, by Todiel's reckoning already having claimed two other groups of stout adventurers that happened through the ruined Kaer.
A low moan, from somewher in the darkness sends a chill up your spine. The moan tinged with pain and longing, tormented still by the machinations of a creature so evil that it torments those who have died and been restored as its servants.
This is the true measure of a hero. To come to the darkness and fight it back but you cannot help but feel less than heroic. Fear gnaws at your mind and a cold sweat leaps to your brow. Can you face the darkness and cast it aside? You are not sure - but you are sure that you will stay and find out.
