Read part 1 of this story here

 

Lord Val Karem and Lord Wenslav entered a small chamber deep below Stonewald Castle. The torch lit the room and the light reflected off rows and rows of shining helms and armoured breastplates.

 

A long row of spears accompanied the armour, and on a balcony

above there were multiple racks with swords.

 

Orin: What is this? How did you find this?

 

Mitah: In time... first we must take care of our pursuer.

 

They went up to the balcony and Lord Val Karem took a crossbow from one of the racks. Soon, a dark figure entered the room, moving in absolute silence.

 

We take no chances Mitah whispered to Lord Wenslav and with a loud crack the bolt went off - straight through the chest of the unsuspecting pursuer.

 

They went down to the lower level and searched the intruder. They found nothing besides a small sword and a dagger.

 

Orin: These are no Lenfel clothings. He seems to be from the south. Maybe an outlaw?

 

Mitah: Maybe. Or a spy. Or another assassin. It does not matter. He won't tell any stories. Back to the important part: there are at least a dozen more chambers down here, filled with all kinds of weapons. Enough for a small army. Come what may,we will be prepared.

 

Orin: So it seems.

 

Mitah: Oh, I nearly forgot. There is another matter. And this one should be very interesting, especially for you.

 

Orin: Why so ominous?

 

Mitah: You will see. If we leave now we can reach the cost by dawn.
