20 = "You stand before an ancient black altar, resting on a platform of crumbling marble slabs. The altar has been up in these remote mountains for a long, long time.";
21 = "Trash, old weapons, and bones are scattered everywhere. Some of the fresher bones came from alien beasts. Many others were human.";
22 = "The altar shimmers with power. You have a hard time focusing your eyes on it. If you concentrate really hard, you can see shadows moving just under the surface of the stone.";
23 = "Suddenly, you are struck by an incredibly powerful compulsion. You feel an almost irresistible urge to smash the altar, to strike it with one of your weapons very hard. ";
24 = "";
25 = "";
26 = "Dazed, you raise your blade above your head and bring it down on the altar as hard as you can. A small hairline fracture appears in the stone. You don't think the flaw is large enough to make a difference. This turns out to be completely wrong.";
27 = "The crack grows. The altar develops a huge fissure down its front. The air around you fills with hideous demonic laughter. The laughter turns into babbling, and the babble resolves into one deafening call: _I'm free!_";
28 = "Three clouds of flame seep out of the crack, settle to the ground, and take solid form. You shiver in horror. They are the lords of demonkind, the haakai, and they're each twelve feet high! They look down on you with contempt.";
29 = "Then, amused, one of them speaks. _Centuries we've been held here, sending out spells to summon others to us. Those spells formed the stone circles, and the circles were what you submitted to! Now we are free and our reign can begin!_";
30 = "The second one chuckles. _We hunger, and you look tasty. However, we are not ungrateful for your service. We offer you a deal. Give us your strength, a portion of it, and we will spare you. Refuse, and die._";
31 = "The third says _Speak quickly, for we have much to do and much strength to regain. Do you agree?_";
32 = "";
33 = "You have a bad feeling about this. You don't know what malevolent force you've unleashed onto the earth. All you can hope is that it doesn't do too much damage. The altar starts to crack and crumble. There's nothing more to do here.";
34 = "You suspect that many will suffer because of the force you have unleashed today. At this point, all you can do is continue on your quest. Dealing with what has happened here is a struggle for another day.";
35 = "";
36 = "Whoever made this altar, you finished the job they couldn't. The three haakai lords have been destroyed.";
37 = "Exhausted, you stumble away, pleased that you have removed yet another evil force from the world.";
