Pretty sure you started this chapter as level 8, so feel free to go up to 9!Melpomene, carrying the magical amulet that will guide you to your destination, points the direction that the magical artifact indicates, leading you through tunnel after tunnel. Not much seems to want to bother you for the first couple of days. On the third day, as you traverse a cavern which is dimly lit by luminous fungi and rubble-covered ground. You see what looks like what was once a stone wall off to the side of the path you travel. This might once have been a small town of some kind long ago.
As you reach the middle of the cavern, you hear a horrible screech from nearby among the rubble. Turning to see what's there, you spot a large monster which resembles a cross between a drow and a huge vulture. It has gigantic wings covered with dark feathers, gigantic claws at the end of its overly long arms, and a horrible beaked face with small black eyes; A vrock, a demon of the lower planes.
The vrocks launch themselves at the concentration of knights in the center of the group, screeching horribly. As they near, you can smell offal terrible enough to make you want to vomit. As they crash into the group of knights, the seasoned warriors are slow to react, some even seem to be frozen in fear. Two of them manage to avoid vicious blows from the demons, but one is impaled by the demons' long clawed hands and tossed aside like refuse.
