The Home of the Elementals

I was just counting my "riches" at the Trinsic Royal Bank, as I met Wilhelm Tell and some of his companions. Obviously they were preparing for a dungeon visit, so I asked him, if I could join them.
The plan was to visit the lowest levels of Shame. I remembered from old tales, that this dungeon was full of all kinds of elementals. Many entered the caves, and only few returned alive...
No risk no fun! We recalled and were welcomed by a bunch of earth elementals. This type did not cast spells, so we had no difficulties in killing them.
Wilhelm Tell, Blitzzzzzzzzzz, Eisenlocke and me finally arrived at a big underground lake with tiny islands on it. We all were very curious, so we searched for and found a spot, where one could teleport to an isle. from there the other islands could be reached. There was nothing on it except some snakes, scorpions and rats. As we stepped on the last one, we discovered a small room surrounded by walls. It was crammed with rats and slimes, but we couldn't find an entrance.
On our trip we came across all kinds of elementals. Earth, water, fire and air. But alas (or fortunately) we didn't see a poison elemental.
Somewhere in the tangled web of caves and wells there stood an orc. He had neatly arranged crates and chairs, and I was asking what it was about. In his strange orcish dialect he grunted that he was guarding the "eternal flame", which was the fireplace. The orc must be a grandmaster cook with a predilection for monster barbecue, for he mentioned that you could cook at this fireplace as often as you like.
The different caves and levels of Shame are connected by strange black moongates. We acted as a good team, always controlling the health status of our companions. The monsters actually were no big danger to us.
After a successful tour we returned to the bank of Trinsic and split up the loot.
