She’d suspected for quite some time that something lay behind the oddly foreshortened wall of the throne room, but it wasn’t until recently that she’d been able to find a place where the stones at the base were weakened enough to force a way through. Clearing away the crumbled stone had taken several tail-wrenching trips until a few of the castle servants began offering helpful hands. The end result was a new mouse hole and a dust coated Sherry but no amount of debris in her fur could detract from the thrill of discovery: soon she would be where no mouse had been before!

The air was close; chokingly full of dust and heavy with time. As she pulled herself through the tight confines of the hole and into the chamber beyond Sherry blinked in surprise. The area was faintly illuminated! Nervously casting about for the source of the glow, Sherry fastened her gaze upon a small bundle of what appeared to be silk.

The Skull of Mondain will speak to those willing to listen and act on its behalf. It still rests in the Void Shadow Dungeon which can be entered at 18o33′N 60o11′W in Ilshenar near the ancient stone.

(The teleporter has been fixed to the room with the skull. It is around the stone there and no longer requires any word for entry. The Skull’s goals can be learned with the words “desires” or “wishes.”)
