For Andrion:
The skull sat motionless, yet one could almost discern a sneer on the old bones. He said:
"You had better not be lying to me mage! A proper burial is what we have been waiting for! I have lost count on how long it's been!
Well...the cave...let's see...what would interest you?...Hmmm....Ah yes...there is a Lamia guarding the doorway. She cast a spell on us and the next thing I know, she was chewing on my arm! hah! What ya think o' that! Let me tell you, it was no picnic for us! Hah! Picnic! That's a good one!
Right,,,well...let's see...oh yes...down below, there are several traps. My fellow thieves and I disarmed most of the ones we found. Nothing was hard about it. We knew that we'd find a good treasure here somewhere. So we came prepared for the worst. It was actually alot easier than one would think. There were two doors, and the first one was unlocked...the second was locked but by magical means. This was down on the ...I think maybe the third floor. When we saw no way of opening the magical door, we decided that we'd check out the unlocked one, and boy did we hit it big! There was gold and jewels everywhere! I started stuffing my pockets, and my companions were doing the same. We got as much as we could, then started our trek out of this filthy dungeon. That is when Merlando started screaming. We turned around to see him holding a rock in his hand, and then he started emptying his pockets only to find more rocks! We looked into our pockets to find similar rocks. The gold and jewels had been an illusion set to the specific room we had come out of. We were so angry and mad...none of us even heard the woman approach. Then she started talking all sweet to us, and I am sure you know the rest of the story.
That is all I can tell ya, Mage. Can I go now?"
