Soft blue, green and red lights floated almost whimsically through the frigid air dodging around the remnants of statues so worn most would mistake them for peculiarly organized boulders. It did not help that these statues were further obscured by white snow which had gathered both on and around them or that the sun had nearly left the sky and the stars had already begun to peek out. The floating orbs moving about did little to aid in making these statues visible; indeed all they really did is cause them to cast gentle shadows which gracefully moved to hide from the dancing lights. The lights primarily clung around the clearing between the statues where robed figures stood atop a short stone platform whose function had long been forgotten. The figures numbered three and each wore an elaborate hooded robe of a different color; one red, one blue and one green.<br/><br/>The red one stood on the left and peered silently towards the collapsed stone structure at the end of the statues. His name was Murdeim. The green stood on the right and was less quiet, muttering under her breath as she hurriedly took notes and erased them. Her name was Kendra. Lastly the one wearing the blue robe removed his hood and spoke to the fourth figure standing in front of the platform.<br/><br/>"I trust you are aware of what lies before you Lyradil." the man, whose name was Bram, spoke in a tired sounding voice, "And I trust you are prepared. The Shrine of Sadesh may sit in ruins now but once it was a mighty temple. This whole mountain was warmed by her love; now it sits frozen never to know her tender embrace again. The shri-"<br/><br/>The figure in the red robe suddenly began to cough loudly causing Bram to pause. Murdeim pulled his robe closer to him as his coughing fit ended never taking his eyes from the forlorn ruins. Bram stared at him for a moment as if annoyed before continuing.<br/><br/>"As I was saying the Shrine of Sadesh serves little purpose beyond being a final test. You are to enter the temple and either defeat or outwit whatever traps or creatures lurk within. Somewhere within sits the Amulet of Sadesh; a deceivingly simply necklace which radiates magic power and is said to have once been used by Sadesh's worshipers in their fertility rites. Seeing as Sadesh has been traditionally understood as an elven deity you may find your heritage a bit of a blessing. Make no mistake however as the shrine is dangerous to those who take it ligh-"<br/><br/>"There's something moving out there." Murdeim suddenly cut in, his voice shaking with age.<br/><br/>"Probably just a goblin." Bram sighed before a slight smile formed on his clever looking features. "One of the tests for our elven beauty."<br/><br/>The wind suddenly picked up causing Kendra to shout in dismay as a pair of her notes were torn away. In a moment they were gone; disappearing into the increasingly dark sky. She cast an annoyed look in Bram's direction before shoving her notes beneath her robe.<br/><br/>"Anyway that's about enough exposition if you don't mind." Bram raised his voice as he fought to be heard over the wind. "We're going to cast Leomund's Tiny Hut now and await your return. Try not to freeze to death on the way there!" And with that the blue robed man pulled up his hood once more and pressed his hands together to begin the spell.
