We're Through the Gates!

The Elven Scientist and adventurers stand in a massive, dwarven hall. No longer is this rough mines, this is the entrance to a once flourishing civilization. The two gates stand open behind them

Elven Scientist: We’re in! This... this is incredible! It’s not just a mine, this was a whole civilization!

Panel 2:

Elven Scientist throws her arms wide to encompass the architecture around her. She looks elated.

Elven Scientist: These tunnels stretch so far they even span underneath the ocean, to other continents on the RPR map. What secrets must these people have known to accomplish that?

Panel 3:

Adventurer looks around nervously, holding their torch high.

Adventurer 1: If they were advanced enough to build this... where did they go? What could have happened to them?

Panel 4:

Another adventurer is inspecting a crude mural on the wall, showing a dwarven army in front of a large winged monster in the process of reforming itself.

Adventurer 2: They dug so deep, they woke something evil... even though they defeated it once, it reformed itself and came back again and again.

Panel 5:

The elven scientist stands in front of a ruined obelisk.

Elven Scientist: They were trying to construct something to hold it back, but it looks like it was never completed.

Adventurer 1: Well, whatever the evil was, it’s probably long gone by now. Right?

Panel 6:

Fiery eyes open in the darkness.
