Today is exactly 9 years since I was married - one of the happiest days of my life. And, as such, today's room draws inspiration from that event:
Having survived the attack by the dwarf zombies, our party continues deeper into the dungeon. The door at the opposite end of the empty guard room opens into a wide, long hall, tastefully appointed for some long forgotten event - a great hall ready for a feast. But it appears that the feast never occurred. The place settings sit unused, while the meat has been long picked to the bone by scavangers and the fruits withered to dust. At the head of the room, upon a dais, are two place settings set for the master and mistress of the event. Behind them is a faded tapestry depicting a castle situated on rolling hills over a cavern where dwarves toil for gold. A small door lies behind and to the left of the head table, while another door - possibly to the kitchens - lies at the opposite end of the room.
We're now halfway through this little section of the dungeon. I've got ideas for the next few days - enough to take me through the end of the "Ancient" prompt. The next prompt is "Death" and it will be the right half of the dungeon (that big passage that we have not yet taken). Ideas are already churning for that and hopefully it will illuminate what happened to the dwarves!
