Lore: Crypt of the Graven King

From deep within the cave, metal striking stone is heard. Behind you, the stone doors of the Crypt appear to have stopped the emerging wave. You proceed with caution.

"What are you brutes doing? Get back to work!" the titanic minotaur calls, to the Golems that are no longer mining. The Golems look up at him, then make way for the party. Upon seeing most of the party, the Minotaur remarks, "What are you all doing, are you lost? This isn't Reygvauld, the town was back...", but immediately becomes enraged when he notices Sallaber. "You! Black Knight! And what are these, your co-conspirators?". All of the White Knights in the areas above the Mining Pit immediately turn their attention to the roaring Minotaur.

"Sir Taskmaster, I doubt the ethics behind your operation, but seek no quarrel with you. I ask only that you give us passage, and..." Sallaber begins. The minotaur stomps on the ground, interrupting Sallaber, and sending Irea off her balance, causing her to fall on her back. "Ask of me? I shall not accept any of your requests, Scoundrel! Prepare to face Justice! FOR BASTIONADOOOOOOOOOSS!!!" he yells, as he charges at Sallaber. Sallaber raises his sword, as the party prepares to fight.

"Fiend, Coward..." the Minotaur remarks, as he drops to the ground. The rest of the White Knights stand motionless for a second. "Your master has been defeated. Feel free to relinquish your arms, and..." Sallaber begins, before one of the White Knights throws a sword at him, narrowly missing him. "Never! We will fight in the name of the light until our last breaths!", the White Knight yells. The sword smashes against the wall behind Sallaber and breaks. "Very well then. It's been a while since i've crushed an entire Chivalry of you cowards underneath my Greaves." Sallaber remarks, as his helmet begins to glow with flame.

The dripping from earlier is now a steady gush. You look down one of the nearby crevices, and notice that the water from outside the crypt is flowing steadily into the crypt! If you aren't able to get out of the Crypt, you will surely drown!
