			As we descend the stairs revealed by these doors, the steps get less grimy. Was the dirt above real or merely an illusion of this strange temple?
			The stairs descend and our environment grows cleaner the further we go until we are treated by another set of doors.
			Opening these we are greeted by an empty round chamber, this one decorated with a grand circular fresco adorning the entire wall.

			Venturing deeper into this strange place, I can not help but wonder at our new environment. It is both fantastical yet in disrepair.
			The flagstone floors are covered in dirt and dust floats on the stale air. Nevertheless we venture forth.
			The room is an odd shape. Aside from the door on the other side, there are three alcoves each with their own focus.
			I wipe the last bits of ‘crawler much from my garments and boldly stride towards the first alcove that caught my eye, the forest scene, a celebration of life.
			A stark contrast from where we currently dwell. I ruminate on how much I have forgotten about the surface world. Its scents and sounds, the warmth of the sun and the option of not eating salted fish…
			It is at this point my survival instincts kick in a few moments after I am beset by swarms of skeletal rats!! Somewhere in my reverie I failed to spot a cracked flagstone underfoot and now my compatriots pay the price.
			I should have held focus… No time for that now though, battle is upon us!

			The fight is not without danger, yet we make short work of these hordes, my rapier was of little use stabbing these things but my shield was all the more potent.
			I beg your forgiveness at the lack of details of my fellow’s prowess, I assure you that being beset by a horde of undead vermin is a harrowing experience that leaves little thought for things beyond the sea of tiny teeth that threaten my tender tonker.
			As the last bones scatterer across the floor, I let out a sigh of relief. That could have gone a lot worse.

			The party senses the forgotten majesty of this… shrine? And sets out to restore its splendour. I am drawn, however, to these alcoves and their themes. The plaque from the entrance hall comes unbidden to my mind.

			“The earth is the heart and soul of the Forgotten Folk. From its nurturing embrace spring forth the children of Garl, on its surface and amid its tunnels and caves they dwell in life, and beneath its silent shroud they rest in death. Preserve and protect the natural world that lies beneath the roots of those who dwell on the surface. Dig burrows, tunnel, and explore, for the Badger welcomes all gnomes into his domain. Ware the evil that ensnares those blinded by the avarice and destructive impulses of the Crawler Below, and the Lord of the Burrow shall protect those who dwell in his demesne and live in harmony with his teachings.”

			As my eye falls on the cupped hands at the foot of each alcove, bardic inspiration strikes me! This is a test! I wonder if this refers to the evil that ensnares those blinded by avarice..
			What were those glowing things the gnomes where holding? A blue gem, a red gem and a green gem… I wonder.
			Digging through the pouch at my hip I fish out an Emerald and place it in the cupped hands at the forest scene alcove.
			In the Mountains hands I place a Ruby and the cave of glittering lights is adorned with an additional Sapphire star.
