While out at dig site to uncover relics of old civilizations, Charmcaster uncovered a tunnel covered by a thick stone door with strange symbols carved interdictly in it. With the help if other workers, Charmcaster managed to move the door opening the way down into the dark unknown.
Using her magic to light the way, Charmcaster made her way down the worn, moss-covered steps. Lower and lower Charmcaster went the sound of her hoofs echoing down into the depths of the darkness past the glow of her magic. The quiet darkness soon caused Charmcaster to lose track of time, and soon Charmcaster could no longer see the light from the exit above.
Suddenly, the step Charmcaster took next gave way underneath her and Charmcaster started to tumble down the staircase. When Charmcaster reached the bottom, she was shaken and had sustained a broken leg and a quantity of scraps and bruises. Getting up, she tried to limp back to the staircase only to trigger a bobby trap causing a trap door to open beneath her.
when Charmcaster came round, she found herself lost in a ruin of an ancient temple. Getting up, she assessed her store of injuries from her fall.
'head- fuzzy and light headed. Leg- broken, stiff, and painful. Back- fine. All in all, i could be better.' Charmcaster Said to herself as she limped through the dark room. Lighting the room with her magic, Charmcaster observed the room looking for a way out. The walls are decorated with carvings of various scenes. Mostly of ponies walking in a line tied to a rope and being led to a pit with what appeared to be a large dragon painted red and with a ruby set for its eye.
Meanwhile, the workers where worried about Charmcaster. They heard a loud commotion from the tunnel and had been calling for Charmcaster for the past hour with no answer back.
