Salvation Outpost - Chapter 2

37 takes a closer look at the book. It is not opened, but sitting closed on a simple stone pedestal. It is bound in a iron cover with intricate engravings of what seem to be interwoven chains. Despite its apparent age and thick layer of dust and dirt, it is rust free. The cover of the book is untitled.

Meanwhile, Vice gives the door a once over and easily picks the lock. The notices a second keyhole concealed behind a carving of a spectral hand. Recognizing the trap, he picks the second lock as well. He hears two clicks overhead, looking up, the gnome sees two small, stone dragons pointing directly at him. They appear deactivated. All this is done so quietly, the scratching on the other side of the door is uninterrupted.

At SheK’s behest, Vice opens the door to find himself eye level with two pairs of glowing green eyes. Two large, skeletal wolves are startled by the door’s sudden opening. A room extends past them to yet another, large obelisk and two opened crypts.

SheK’s spell dances through the room. The startled wolf begins to glow blue. The second is able to avoid its effects.

The obelisk takes heavy damage from 37’s lightning. The crackling lighting ripples over the wolves spurring them to attack Vice.

Vice sidesteps the the first attack, but takes a bite from the second.
