Although the airport shuttle dropped her off at the travelers inn, Gabriella's was too wound up to rest or eat. She searched the inn's cork board for a suitable quest for a green but eager adventurer. One caught her eye: Seeking Adventure? Muttering 'Yes!' under her breath, she quickly scanned the details and hit the ground running.
As her feet hit the pavement and her heart beat with trepidation, she tried to envision the Halls of the Lost Army.
The Halls were was located at the centre of Shang Simla. Gabby slowed down to admire large lion statues (and to catch her breath) just before going up the steps.
By now her anticipation was mixed with awe and some anxiety: was she ready? had she trained enough? would there be many traps? She decided not to pause to reflect on her worries and just ran up the steps and entered the Halls.
She was astounded by the ornate carvings and relics surrounding her. A floor pressure plate beckoned for her to begin the adventure. She placed her feet over the plate's and braced herself as it caved in.
