Subject: The bridge across

As the small party left the confines of the tunnel, they stopped and warily
looked around.  The path continued on towards a huge towering bridge set in
the middle of the cavern, with a sort of mist flowing over and under it.
To the left of the main path, the wall continued on out of sight, with an
occasional outcropping marring it's surface.  The rocky slope of the wall
to the right of the tunnel was littered with stalagmites and stalactites.
The path in front of them widened out so that four abreast would fit side
by side with no worry of slashing each other in case of a battle.  Elfiran
whistled at the sight.  "Well, it looks like we should be headin' over te
thet bridge, even tho' ah do nay like the looks of it."

Balefire grunted his assent, but kept inspecting every nook and cranny that
he could see.  It was clear that Balefire, the seasoned veteran that he
was, was not about to go blindly charging into what may well turn out to be
an ambush.  Cromm was on the other side of Balefire, scanning this way and
that also.  Cromm had his weapon at the ready, and appeared willing for any
enemy to appear.    By the set of his jaw and the piercing gaze of his
eyes, he appeared to hold no love for this place.

The khajit Loriella, appearing to be distracted while in the tunnel, turned
her head from side to side, like she was trying to puzzle something out.
Holm'ka, standing next to her, was trying to act like he wasn't injured,
and actually doing a pretty decent job of it.  The party would not have to
worry about protecting him, as he seemed more than able to take care of
himself.

The scribe Alduin, immediately started scribbling furiously on one of his
parchments.  He would scribble for a few seconds, then look up and glance
this way and that, then scribble for a few seconds more.  He seemed to be
giving description to this huge cavern even as the party was advancing.

Something flittered across Elfiran's consciousness, and he narrowed his
eyes a bit before speaking aloud to the party.  "Hold all, ah seem te
remember this place from somewhere afore.  Ah'm nay sure, but this is a
place of deep evil if'n ah remember correctly from the tales ah wuz told as
a young lad.  Be ware everyone, tis nay a place te let yer guard down ah
would think."  With those last words, a sound like vibrating metal pierced
the quiet of the cavern, as Elfiran drew his Long Sword.....
