"Hope they not taking our other wolf carcass, they stole the other one with ease, plus how did they get in though our barrage, it, whatever it is does not sound so loud?" whispers a questioning Narrhil.

Tillak hears Narrhil's musings. "Is there another passage into this chamber?" Tillka asks aloud.
- “Moonglum licked his long lips. 'So it’s sorcery again. In truth, Elric, this whole country is beginning to stink of wizardry and the minions of hell.' Elric murmured for his friend’s ears: 'No hell-beings these—but honest elementals, equally powerful in many ways.'"

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
[We are in the basement, the only way up is the stairs]
[The stairs go to the kitchen: the kitchen has two broken windows? Not sure if it is one pane of glass, or lead inlaid with multiple sections (would make it more difficult to enter).
The roof in main temple area is collapsed and open, perhaps a Bird-man has entered?]

Keét remains silent, gripping his axe ready to spring when necessary.
It is immortality of a sort.

"The ape-men captured us, we had slew half of them, but...!" Narrhil trailed off as he thought of the horror of failure...

"If I had time to at least tell what is magical, was it not that some of there bottles could heal?" said Narrhil indicating the wine bottles on their racks.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary
More minutes tick away. On the floor, Keet's torch begins its first inevitable sputterings....

The sputtering one on the floor still has some life, and the 2nd is practically brand new.

Votin edges up the stairs to the cellar door and listens carefully...
