Chapter 54
Wooden double doors led into the large hall marked with C14 on the dungeon map of the Guild.
It hadn’t been marked with anything special but any larger halls could potentially hold more creatures, and more treasure as well. As far as Veron understood, at least in the Crypts, teams tended to set these rooms as goal posts, or rooms to check along a prepared route before they made their way back out.
They had rested up and he had a fresh torch burning near his left shoulder, the previous one burnt out.
“We open and check, and we try to lure out anything that could be waiting inside,” Veron said. “If it’s too much, we shut the gates and make a run for it.”
“Ready when you are,” Ailis said.
Isaac raised his crossbow, positioning himself at the back of their formation. Elke had her rope and stone in her hands, slowly starting to spin it.
“Alright, let’s see what we’re dealing with,” Veron said and pushed on the right side of the gate.
It was dark inside, the light of his torch swaying slightly as it tried to pierce into the gloom. He pushed the gate open halfway, the hinges creaking slightly. Nothing moved. Veron pushed further, and saw something glinting on the floor.
