Stimeak finally left the passage, entering what he assumed was an open cavern... The floor was cold and damp... The air stale... It was clear that the caveran hadn't been entered in a long time... Stimeak looked around, summoning a ball of fire in the palm of his hand... It provided little light, not half as effective as he hoped... He growled in a puzzled tone "hmmm, Can you see anything that I cant in here?" Gamal hopped off his back, landing onto the paved floor, his claws clacking off the rock and echoing around the large cavern. He trailed a claw in some blackish liquid below Stimeak, within a small channel... He growled "hmmm, direct some of the fire down here... I know what this stuff is, and it burns...." Stimeak looked down, hissing with a slight shrug "What other reason would there be to have burnable stuff other than to burn it I suppose" He turned his palm over, letting the ball of fire tumble off his palm and break into a small splash of fire, landing into the liquid and setting it alight... Its surface lit up, almost bright yellow, the flame spreading along its surface and lighting its way... A small trench guideing it foreward... In a blinding surge of light, a central pillar in the middle of the cavern lit up, the liquid burning up in tribal patterns along its sides...
Behind it, the trail continued, leading up and lighting the way to three tall stone statues, all over 20 meters tall, their heads touching the roof. They appeared to be humaniod, yet the one on the right seemed to have fur covering its body, and anthro like legs with hooves at the bottem, horns comeing from its beareded head. The one on the left bearing an almost dog like head, the rest of its form standard though.... The one in the middle was, unlike the other two, female. What seemed to be a woman wtih a long snake like body. It was clearly meant as the key figure in the room, being adorned with jewellery and a brace with a large crystall in the center of it around its forehead... The crystal being the only actuall precious objects, the rest of the statues being made entirely of stone...
Gamal hissed "Well, looks like the end of the line boss..." Stimeak jumped foreward, landing at the bottem the stoney staircase and trotting foreward. The cave felt warmer now with the strange liquid on fire.... He had never seen anything like it. It was like lava when lit, yet like pitch beforehand.... He growled cheerfully "Well we best get to it then, eh Gamal?" Gamal took flight, glideing around above. He growled "But as we have already established, you don't know a thing about death magic. How are we supposed to get anywhere without that?" Stimeak made a loud humming sound as he thought, but didn't reply yet.... He was applying his busy thinking of a solution to their problem...
