Encounter for Bargilgrasgo at 2213.
Seeking passage through the mountains and not caring to brave the high passes, laden with snow as they were, and scoured by storm, Bargilgrasgo had been grateful when, coming upon a low cave entrance, it seemed to worm its way back into the mountain. Having heard tell of many such tunnels, said to be carven beneath the mountains’ very roots, he began to make his way cautiously into the darkness. And for two days he continued onwards, braving the long dark with only the sound of his footsteps, the soft sussurance of his breath, to break the quiet, a quiet that seemed to press ever more heavily upon him the further he traveled. More than once he considered turning back, yet, to the best of his reckoning, the tunnel was taking him in the direction he had hoped, and with far more speed than he could ever hope to have managed above ground. And so he endured. A change in the echoes of his footsteps first alerted him to the huge chamber into which he suddenly emerged, walls and ceiling lost in darkness beyond his torch’s light, whilst, thinking it first a trick of his eyes, from up ahead there came a dim red glow. Cautious now, he proceeded more slowly, as the light seemed to brighten, and with it there came a growing tension in the air, a gathering sense of malice that crawled upon his skin and twisted behind his eyes. Until, from a rent in the ground that split the chamber near in two, there leaped a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark-form. Of man-shape, maybe, yet greater, it wielded a power and terror that seemed to be in it and go before it. It strode towards him, and now he knew it for what it was, as suddenly flames kindled to wreath about it and blaze behind it. A Balrog, Felagrod, and in its right hand was a blade like a stabbing tongue of fire, and in its left it held a whip of many thongs, which twisted and snaked in the air as if possessed of life.
