Into The Depths

Into The Depths is the forty-fifth chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Valon departs from the temple with Soltas and Palus, cutting through the woodland as it gets thicker, and using his magic to clear part of the forest as they approach the Burials of the Defiled. As they encounter the bloated, floating corpses in the swamp Palus suggests they bury it, however Valon recalls the Ebonmire and refuses to invite the same sort of issue.

They arrive at the Burials, finding a pit descending deep into the earth. Valon lights a torch and drops it into the center, watching it fall before it hits the bottom. As it hits the water it ignites on the fumes of decay and the inferno rips through the catacombs and sends a belch of smoke through the shaft.

Valon soon comes up with an alternative solution, using his rune magic to light the torches and give them a way of seeing. They arrive at the bottom and Valon suggests they head in one direction, leaving Palus feeling suspicious regarding the prince's knowledge of where they are. They move down a hallway and Valon directs their attention to a wall that stands out as different to the wall around it, demanding Palus breaks it down. They reveal another passage, only serving to make Palus more doubtful over Valon's knowledge and intents.
