You are startled by the loud, discordant clang of a cracked iron bell, which is located out of sight in an alcove in the wall above the door. As its harsh note fades, the door is pulled open and you find yourself confronted by two ugly Drakkarim warriors armed with heavy-bladed marine cutlasses. Shock registers in their bloodshot eyes when first they see you, but their astonishment quickly gives way to a blind rage. With murderous growls, the two fighters raise their cutlasses and launch a determined attack.
