------------- Crimson Velvet – Down in the Dark

The Necromonger’s word was as good as her gold, or so it seemed this time around. The Crimson Velvet gathered in her shop off Market Street on the west side of New Calladon. She led them down to her basement where a secret door led to another set of chambers. Ivanna could tell that there was powerful illusion magic here, and seriously doubted the Necromonger was responsible for it. There was enough power there that her True Seeing would not breech it. The purpose of the magic was no doubt to keep those few she might lead down here from ever knowing how to find it again. Obviously, the Necromonger didn’t trust any of them. Perhaps she wasn’t so stupid after all.

At the end of their little trek, they entered a chamber with a large round dais inscribed with a thurmaturgic circle. She herded them all onto the dais and began to weave the magics that would activate it. They were headed to the third level of Old Calladon, far north of Skullport. They’d need to find transport down the river, as all travelers in this realm must. But for now, they were in a section of chambers dominated by ancient temples, wandering demons and undead, and treasures. What better way to enter Skullport than with a horde of gold in their packs and magical artifacts to sell.
