It’s hard to gauge how truthful a skeleton is but you believe that he is honest about being a member of the Arcane Brotherhood. Whether he actually stole any spells however you aren’t sure.
“Skullport is two levels down from here. Continue in the direction you were heading to find the stairs down to the next. Alas there is no way around level 2 only through for you.”
The spell starts to end when a sudden frantic energy seems to come over the otherwise lifeless skeleton. “Look for the little dwarves under the mountain! One of them hides the key to my heart!”
The spell ends and the skeleton returns to its inanimate state
Eoan raises his eyebrows and exhaling heavily, looking uncomfortable before breaking the silence with a loud clap. “ I don’t know about you lads but I think the sooner we make it to skull port the better . These supplies won’t last forever and more importantly I can feel an unwelcome case of the sobers kicking in ! Shall we ?”
Leaving the remains of curiosity you continue along the corridor. It opens up briefly to your left where you discover the remains of a gorgon statue under the debris of a tunnel collapse. Passing through the double doors you come to a T junction. Darkness to the left and the soft glow of candles to the right
Candles. The hall is brightly lit by flickering tallow candles that float in shallow niches along the walls. The candles produce heat but no smoke.
Clean Hall. The corridor is conspicuously free of dust and debris.
Each of the twenty-five niches contains two lit candles. Although wax runs down the sides of the candles, it never drips off them onto the niche, nor do the candles ever seem to be diminished or consumed.

“Do you consider yourself loyal to the Mage?”
“I had yet to do any wrong to the mage when I was executed. Any budding loyalty I had ended with the removal of my legs...”
Leowin looks up at the skeleton.
"Sorry to hear that friend. This mage sounds like an *******. Do you know what dangers he has prepared ahead, that we might avoid them?"
“This is the easiest level. Small monsters and bandits mostly. Beware the 9th floor, full of the experiments of my erstwhile colleagues it is”
We seek Kressando Rosznar, who recently headed to Skullport. Can you tell us the best way to get to Skullport?

Sig rolls his shoulders from releasing the spell. “Yeah I don’t fancy spending the night spooning a skeleton. But which way? Carry on as we were?”
No harm in still looking around this level a bit I suppose but hey, I’m easy
“Hmmm , maybe a little more exploring won’t hurt . As long as we know where we are resting our heads for the night .”
Leowin nods in agreement.
"Let's have a look about and then keep on. I'd like.more beer in me before long"

I shall take the lead gentlemen, at least this time. I am invisible after all! Hah!
Jhee-Kharr trots off towards the candles, keeping an eye out for any threats

Hall of Many Candles
