Daithi nearly dropped the key as another tremor shook the floor beneath their feet, but finally was able to place the engraved skull into the half-circle that had been carved into the stone door. The eyes flared with a blue light for a moment, then died down, resulting in a pair of flickering blue orbs that seemed focused only on the horizon.

Makoru could hear tumblers and pins inside the gate clicking as the door unlocked itself through magic, responding to the Gatekeeper's head being placed in the lock. After about a minute of clicking and clanking that ruined any chance of sneaking up on the necromancers, the last gear inside the door clicked. The iron rim that surrounded the perimeter of the lock popped up, leaving iron holds that would allow Daithi to pull open the gates.

Claudius swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat. They were just outside the inner chamber of the Barrow, meaning that Novo was waiting for them behind those great gates. This was their last chance to stop the King of Worms from rising. If they didn't stop him now, all of their hard work, and Strogg's death, would be in vain.
