The wind howled through the hollowed bones of Greymaw Cathedral, its broken spires clawing at a sky choked with stormclouds. Beneath the shattered altar, a stairway yawned open - a gaping wound in the earth, exhaling a stench of damp stone and long-decayed flesh.
Four figures stood at its mouth, their faces pale in the sickly glow of flickering lantern-light. No name was spoken, no prayer offered. Only the sound of steel drawn from sheathes, the brittle crunch of old bones underfoot, and the soft, steady drip of water from the stones above.
Somewhere below, the labyrinth waited.
And it was hungry.
