The heroes find themselves in the abandoned lair of a long-vanished wizard.

At the bottom of a steep, narrow flight of spiral stairs, they emerge into a library.

The wizard’s wealth is evident everywhere; there are gems in the eyes of the skull sculpted above the door, magical torches burn in golden sconces on the wall, gold ornaments decorate the book shelves, and two massive chests with hasps of gold dominate the room.

As for the wizard, it appears he succumbed to his own research; his skeleton lies sprawled on the floor, still clutching the potion that killed him.

The brick-built chests are the work of another designer, but I have to keep their identity a secret for a few days. Stay tuned for more!
