Chapitre 212: Investigating the Dungeon

"How goes it?"

"Morning, milord!"

"Glad to see you up and at 'em so early, sir!"

A dozen or so guards in full plate armor bearing the crest of the Kingdom of Arcadios patrolled a medium sized village that sat next to a massive cave. The cave itself was not set into the wall of a mountain or anything, like one would expect of a cave with an entrance as large as this to be. Instead, the opening was a perfectly symmetrical rectangle that looked as though it had been carved into a large hill.

Starting at the cave mouth there was a massive set of stone stairs that spanned the entire width and led down several dozen feet to a set of bronze-looking doors. They were engraved with various unknown symbols and depictions of different monsters that would be found behind those very doors. Each one also had a massive ring that one would use to pull the doors closed.
