If by ‘friend’ you mean ‘addict who sells other addicts to the blood cult’, then yeah, we get along great. Makes you wonder, what do they -do- with all this blood? Are they storing it in barrels?”

 

Iodás advances, and shifts his halberd into two hands.

image.png.262b7c02b057bb5d53fd65d07457df28.pngNaitol looks at Iodás and Luciana, looks at the still healing wounds; then looks at Zenobios then without a word, bolts to the edge of the room and takes a wide route around you all as he makes his exit. Venutios gulps and nods then tries to nonchalantly make his exit but once outside you hear the clopping of feet making a hasty retreat.


Once back down the hole, you find yourself again in the initial room at the bottom of the ladder. The leftward route you are familiar with, the rightward is still a mystery.

Dianora cackles with glee at the fleeing men. "See ya next time boys, hehehe!" As Venutios begins nonchalantly leaving she moves towards him belligerently and snatches a piece of cooking meat from above the fire. She munches on it as she watches him go, looking quite satisfied with herself.

Once down the hole, Dianora looks around curiously. "What do we know about this place anyway?"

Home to an evil cult. There’s a pit, and a deadly animated statue.

Iodas gets behind the heavily-armored Luciana, and makes sure the person behind him is carrying a light.
 

“Take the right tunnel, then the right tunnel again. I want to first confirm it’s a loop.”

image.png.760baad0eaa58bad60ddd2e3e57235a4.pngYou file through the rightward tunnel which opens up into a wider cavern. Human and animal bones lie strewn about the floor of this cave.

There is a crack in the western wall that seems large enough for an unarmoured or lightly armoured person to squeeze through sideways.

To the south, there is rubble strewn about. It appears to be a collapsed section of the cavern that might once have been a larger cave.

“Zalven, this is your shot. Sneak in there, see if it leads anyplace. ”

 

Iodás will take the light and shine it into the cracked wall.

Zalven gulps, knowing how many hazards the group have encountered thus far.

He checks out the crack in the wall, looking for any further information he can glean. If it appears relatively safe, he will nod back to the others, then try to squeeze through carefully and cautiously.

"We ran into them before," Luciana explained to Dianara as the group walked. "The one went manic and nearly took his fingers off upon my blade instead of yielding. I kill only when necessary, but mercy is reserved for those worthy its blessing."

In the new cavern, Luci nodded, "A fair idea. It is a miracle something hasn't slithered from here behind us. It is high time to clear this area before checking more behind the statue."

Back to Dianara, while Zalven scampered in the crack, the paladin offered, "We know little. As Iodás said, a blood cult stealing people from above. We are here to find a missing Ixian child. Long black hair. I wager we'll find those answers passed the guardian. But tell me, what did you experience?"

Declare actions. 6 centipedes are chasing Zalven.

As Dathan readies his scimitar, Iodás is able to ensorcel the entire swarm, causing them to slide and tumble to the floor in unconsciousness.


End of Encounter

 

You can easily dispatch them now. Zalven going back in?

"Nicely done." The paladin helped crunch the insects under boot.

"Well that crack seems a might but safer now, eh?" she said, urging the illusionist back into breach.

"Well now, this place is full of surprises. I just wish they were more of the pleasant variety. I may just use that ring, just in case..."

Zalven focuses on the ring of invisibility to activate its power, then slides his way back into the crack in the wall
