Who are you talking to

==> examine the hellgate

YOU LOOK AT THE HELLGATE. YOU VOICE YOUR THOUGHTS ALOUD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MULTITUDE OF VOICES IN YOUR HEAD. YOU FIND REASON TO QUESTION YOUR SANITY AGAIN. YOU DECIDE THAT BEING A JIBBERING NUTCASE WOULD BE BORING AND THAT YOU'LL JUST CONTINUE ON WITH THE VOICES AS USUAL. YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT EATING THE SOOT. KAMINA CALLS YOU A PANSY. YOU TAKE EXCEPTION TO THIS.

------------------------

YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A BRIGHT ALCOVE. THERE IS A BROKEN HELLGATE HERE. THERE IS A LAYER OF SOOT COVERING EVERYTHING. THERE ARE SHADOWY CREATURES HIDING NEARBY.
