...[Thurfel's Keep]
...The amount of workmanship put into the eroded seaglass floor of this entry is mindboggling. Painstakingly laid with meticulous care, the faded pastel glass forms the mosaic of an overflowing cream-filled tart. The room itself is quite barren, although smoke and mist can be seen through an archway leading north. You also see a deranged sentry who is lying down, a deranged sentry who is lying down and a string of hanging seashells.
...Also in the room: a stunned Sabitor who is lying down, the body of Lady Atoyoz who is lying down
...Obvious exits: north, east, west.

You say, "She was in the Grand Chamber."

Casually Sothog pushes his finger into his eye socket. After a moment to get proper leverage, he pops the eyeball from his skull, sending it tumbling in your direction. Suddenly a couple of small batlike wings pop from its bloody sides and it begins to hover just out of reach, looking about.

[Thurfel's Keep]
A pulsating green and yellow mist fills this room, making it nearly impossible to see anything further than your own hand. There doesn't appear to be any reason for the fog or the slowly dancing lights within it, but it does bear a rather pleasant light citrus smell. You also see a spiked cavern urchin, a spiked cavern urchin, a faded scroll, an engraved iron coffer, a simple fel coffer and a weathered modwir box.

Lady Angelrise's group just arrived.

You blink.

Lady Angelrise's group just went down.

[Thurfel's Cellar]
A granite walkway both surrounds and bisects a huge square pit filled with cages and contraptions. The only way down appears to be two rope ladders on the opposite side of these sunken rooms. You also see the Thillieir disk, the Trizo disk, the Syberus disk, the Shonison disk, a spiked cavern urchin which appears dead, a squid-crested breastplate, a coral shield, a heavy stone club, a phosphorescent worm, a spiked cavern urchin, a coral shield, a heavy stone club and a black crystal.

[Thurfel's Cellar]
The walkway narrows considerably as half of it is missing for some reason. What's left of the stone ledge is only wide enough for single file travel, and even the smallest weight on the path shakes a few more pieces free.

[Thurfel's Cellar]
The southern wall is slightly discolored compared to the rest of the construction, and while the stones and brick look similar to the those nearby, they never seem to look exactly the same when looked at for a second time.

[Thurfel's Cellar]
Securely bolted into the walls below this walkway are several thick iron chains. The links on the ends are bent and broken, whatever beast they may have imprisoned evidently far stronger than the metal.

Flindyl nods.

A phosphorescent worm silently glides along, moving steadily south.

Damet says, "interesting inded"

[Thurfel's Cellar]
Shrieks and shrill howls echo off the walls of the sunken pit, the sounds coming from within one of the cages below. The screeches are bad enough, but the rhythmic pounding of whatever is trapped within the prison is far more annoying. You also see the Shonison disk, the Thillieir disk, the Trizo disk, the Syberus disk and a spiked cavern urchin.
Also in the room: Apprentice Rills, Trizo, Lord Thillieir, Saberwolv, the Legendary Lord Syberus, High Lord Shonison
Obvious exits: south, east, west.

A thick rope of braided palm fronds knotted around a sturdy iron loop leads downward into the pit. Parts of the rope look chewed on and frayed, but it still seems to be in serviceable condition.
Obvious exits: south, west.

You will have to climb that.

A luminous arachnid just skittered in.

A phosphorescent worm silently glides in, moving slowly and steadily.

[Thurfel's Cellar]
Bolted into the wall are several thick iron chains, every last one shattered so badly that the links are torn wide open. Scattered about the floor are a few ruined and warped steel manacles, clearly far too weak to hold whatever they may have imprisoned originally. You also see a charred pile of bones and a braided palm-frond rope.

You ask, "Arimantis, please, can ye try to raise him?"

Roelon asks, "He is dead?"
