“Now,” Deriam said, “I propose that we walk along the wall until we find one of the signs Shandiph mentioned.”
No one objected, and the foursome moved along the wall.
Almost immediately, they came to an open doorway; Deriam looked at Shandiph, who shook his head. They moved on.
A second doorway was passed, and a corner of the room. At the third doorway Shandiph asked, “Does the pentacle above the door mean anything?”
“What pentacle?” Thetheru asked, holding up his lantern. The stone lintel was blank.
“I think we’ve found it,” Karag replied.
Shandiph lowered the glass from his eye and stared at the lintel in puzzlement. “I still see the pentacle, though,” he said. “Don’t you see it?”
“There is nothing there, Shandiph,” Karag replied.
“We see nothing but bare stone,” Deriam added.
