I see this statue as female; do I have that right? A goddess, then.Seven wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 10:22 am11. This room has a giant statue, maybe an idol and 2 giant torches. There is also a font. This is the equivalent of a chapel, a place of prayer. The font might be for offering or it could be to receive visions. There could be a big fight here or just some clues.
Hmm.
This place was good, once. Varos was a hero of the kingdom, and of the people, a wizard of renown who travelled in the company of a great warrior and a priestess of the goddess ???. The dungeon was built beneath Varos' now-toppled tower. What foes could not destroy, time erased, so that in time the warrior passed and was interred within Varos' dungeon. But Varos refused to let time defeat him as it had his friend, and in his zeal to defeat death he strayed from the side of goodness, becoming first amoral and then properly evil. Not even the god of the underworld would defeat him! He descended into his dungeon to research the secrets of death and undeath, and the world forgot him except as a seldom-retold cautionary tale for young wizards.
Yeah, overdone. But it's a start, and it explains the mix of stuff in the dungeon about as well as anything.
