Catacombs of Balachor
=====================

THE STORY OF BALACHOR

Treasure hunting is getting trickier every year, you've been down 
on your luck for some time now, with barely enough gold for a round 
of drinks at the GobLin Arms. Scant pickings, have forced you further 
and further out into the hills and forests, compelling you to seek 
your fortune in more inhospitable and dangerous locations.

Unfortunately your luck, has just got worse...

A dark, cavern, a sudden rockfail, and somehow you find yourself 
trapped in what appears to be a collection of particularly foreboding 
ruins.

within a pile of rubble you stumble upon, a skeleton a like-minded 
fortune seeker no doubt, who probably met his death at the flat-end of 
a troll-hammer. On closer inspection you find a crumpled note in his 
bony grasp, Its contents faintly visible. Squinting in the darkness, 
you make out a few words:

"...Balachor..!..... through the catacombs... can defeat.... sorcerer.... 
must find the symbols......haunted crypts... seek out... hidden ways 
beyond the walls..."

Determined not to meet the same fate, you get up, dust yourself down, 
and peer down a nearby tunnel into the gloom, looking for away out.

A glowing hue in the distance brighter your spirits - perhaps there's 
some loot to be found here after all...?
