I slowly and cautiously opened the iron door as quietly as possible. A large, wide open area laid behind the door. I saw two bandits waiting at the other end of this chamber.
I tried to make my way up to them as quietly as possible in order to take them by surprise. Unfortunately though, they noticed me.
I lock-picked a chest nearby and found piles of gold coins and valuable gems. I grabbed all of it and continued.
The tunnels got darker and more eerie as I continued.
Eventually I fought my way to another large chamber. An iron gate prevented me from continuing. After looking around in the dark, I found a lever, but when I pulled it, arrows rained down out of the ceiling. I was stabbed by a few of them, but managed to get out of their way.
Off to the side I noticed three stone columns which I could rotate. They each had the symbols of a fish, snake, and bird on them. Above the gate, I noticed two stone engravings with the same symbols, and a third one laid collapsed on the ground below.
It took a few seconds, but I finally realized that if I properly aligned the stone columns, the door would open. I did so according to the engravings above the door.
And to my expectation, the door opened!
For the new few segments all was quiet until the tunnel turned into a spiral staircase downward. I heard rustling sounds so I proceeded cautiously. Then before I could figure out what was going on, I was being attacked by an animal.
The animal turned out to be a skeever. These rodents were often rabid and quite huge. I managed to kill them though, and proceeded forward.
Not too long afterwards I found a brightly lit chamber. The entrance to the chamber was blocked off with a very thick spider web. Something horrible laid inside that chamber. I cut down the webs, and as soon as I did so, I found out just why the webs were there....
Oh... no...
