I wouldn't be the one and only Devin Stronghold if I didn't. First things first, though. You need to know who you're dealing with. I am a twenty-year-old vampire. What e...
Earth Gatineau Park Dungeon, Quebec August 15, 2019 07:44 EDT Shortly after we finished off the floor boss, there was a rumbling sound and a small section of the stone floor gave way, revealing a staircase leading down, presumably to the seventh floor.
