Saltimbanco Posted April 20 Author Clone Share Posted April 20 Putting his hands on Zenobios' shoulders, Wu exclaims. "Young man, you aren't going no where without more healin' and I've used all mine keeping your sorry ass on this side of the grave. Now if you insist on going down, we could visit an apothecary they may have some potions. I'm thinking it won't be cheap, but Iodás might not be dead yet. And there is that kid to think about." It's still early enough to hit up a shop and head down today. I think you have enough in the party funds for one or two potions.

Saltimbanco Posted April 23 Author Clone Share Posted April 23 (edited) After resting up, securing more equipment, and making arrangements for Muireach's body, you head back to the lotus den. This time, it is devoid of any miscreants, but you can't be sure how long they will stay away. Abandoned buildings tend to attract the destitute in the poverty stricken city-state of Khromarium. You make your way down the hole, carefully pulling the crate back over the opening above you. The ladder descends 40 feet a cave lumpy with limestone deposits. Your journeys through the caves so far had revealed tubular limestone tunnels ranging from 8 to 21 feet in diameter. Thin layers of moisture collect on the walls and ceilings, sometimes dripping down to puddle on the floor. Occasional stalactites and stalagmites protrude; too, flowstone forms lumpy irregularities about the walls. Your previous explorations revealed a northernmost tunnel which led to unexplored branches. To the west was the room with the collapsed floor (6) where Muireach fell and Iodás fought the giant python. Which was delicious after Amnesta lightly fried and spiced it and made tacos. Beyond that cave, you still hear the occasional cry that seems to say "Help?". On the way northwards, the tunnel branches again. To the right was left unexplored, but to the left it leads to the cave with spatters of dried blood caking the walls around this cave's northeastern exit (10). Bloody handprints, footprints (some large), and streaks paint the surrounding floor, disappearing into the darkness east and then north.

Rudolf Posted April 23 Clone Share Posted April 23 “Remember, there was a lot of blood everywhere. Maybe that’s the secret?” Zenobios draws his handaxe, and gets ready to move forward.

Saltimbanco Posted April 24 Author Clone Share Posted April 24 Zalven remembers som things from when he was learning sorcery about things called automations, sometimes referred to as golems or living statues. They can be made out of various materials including flesh, but this one is made of iron. They may remain quiescent for eons, only activating if certain criteria are met; or not met as Iodás and Magnus found out the hard way. Are you moving the same route you took before, or trying a new way? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saltimbanco Posted April 25 Author Clone Share Posted April 25 (edited) Once again you make your way through the system of tunnels, retracing your steps, bypassing the collapsed chamber and the dries of "Help?" beyond. You head back through the room with the dried blood splatters and walk through the rough tunnels that lead through a collapsed area which give way to large flagstone walls, floors and ceilings. The walls are 12 feet high, but the chamber arches to maybe 20 feet high in the middle. To the right, you can see the original entrance is caved in and calcified over. There are crumbled steps and toppled Doric columns leading nowhere. In the middle of the room stands a 12-foot iron statue atop a broad three-foot-high plinth of black marble. The statue depicts a sneering Hyperborean woman gripping a scythe in her left hand, with the blade resting upon her left shoulder. The statue's right hand reaches forwards, palm up, with fingers cupped together. The statue's marble base is etched with Hyperborean EsotericAs you all know, is an ancient language that has no modern translations other than magic and thief's decipher script. pictographs. Flecks of blood, some fresh some dried, stain her outstretched palm and spatter the flagstone floor below her hand. It appears to have returned to its original position and is not reacting to your presence. Two bloody smears, still shiny, can be seen glinting off your torchlight trailing though the northern door.
