[Bozos of Bones]

Kynnen 57/85

The message in the ring supprised Kynnen. Interesting enchantment he thought How people waste their powers on such trivial items that could have been just as effective if written on a parchment. Humans will go a long way for pride. He put it back in the bag, and examined the other ring. It wasn't actually a ring, but a stone, in a wierd round shape with a hole in the center. Liking the design, Kynnen tried to put it on, but it was far too bulky for his fingers. Thinking he didn't need the thong to hold it anymore, he took it off, cut the pouch that hel the rings before, and tied it around the ring stone, to hang it on his left hand as a bracelet. Just as he was tying the knot, he heard a silent crackling sound. He looked around, pulling the cords tight to tie the thong, and noticed a small little crack going downwards on the inner wall in the stairwell. He looked up, to trace it, just as he heard the stones rumbling around him. He took a few steps back down the stairs, looking around in panic. This could effectively and hastily end his life, without Kynnen ever having a say in it. The rumbling exploded, deafening Kynnen and surrounding him in dust. He could do nothing but stand in place, hoping that the rocks he heard falling would not hit him. After the rumbling seased, Kynnen looked at himself, feeling himself for wounds. Only the old ones, like the slash on his back, the wound in his thigh, but nothing new. Relieved, Kynnen looked up and down, with the huge worked stones around him, broken and crushed, and thought if he should proceed up the stairs. Carefully, he took another step forward, up the stairs.
