Caedwyn travelled deeper into the tunnels, using his magic to call forth a tiny ball of flame that hovered just ahead of where they were walking to light the path ahead. He could tell after a few moments that they had travelled deep into the mountains. The dirt had turned to mostly stone and soon tiny crystals began to dot the walls and ceiling. They glowed brilliantly, like little shining stars. At one point, Caedwyn paused, standing on his hind legs and lifted up to place his paws on the side of the tunnel. "We should take some of these," he said. "I'm sure one of our Artisans can find use for them." He used his claws to dig at the wall until several crystals had broken free. Caedwyn took a moment to store them away in his own knapsack before giving a nod to Eon that they should continue. The next tunnel dipped more downward into a steeper slope and Caedwyn travelled carefully, though the rocky nature of the tunnel made it easy to slip and slide as they descended. Finally the tunnel began to open into a more open cavern. Pillars of stalactites hung from the ceiling and moisture dripped down into a pool of water at the bottom of the cavern. "Woah," Caedwyn whispered in astonishment as he looked around, his voice echoing back softly in the chamber. It was at that moment that a low echoing hiss resonated around the chamber. Caedwyn jumped to attention. "Look out! There's something up ahead." He alerted, his eyes darting around for the source. The acoustics of the chamber made it hard to pinpoint the location exactly. His eyes scanned the ground and then the walls and then ... "There! He barked, motioning up to the ceiling in front of them. It's shiny body reflected in the light of Caedwyn's fire, giving shape to its form in the dark. "Quick, we can surprise it before it gets away!" Caedwyn jumped forward, calling forth another ball of fire which went hurling up to the ceiling and crashing into the beast. "I'll try to distract it so you can get an opening!" He continued running forward, then to the side, barking loudly in hopes of drawing the beasts attention. --- Roll 1: Fireball Success: -1hp Fail: its shell is too thick. no damage. Roll 2: Charisma Success: his barks draw the centipedes attention and distracts it. Eon can get a +1 to his attack roll Fail: centipede is not distracted. no effect. Speech. |
Midnight Mountains
A small mountain range known for its black colored rocks and mineral ore deposits. Many mining caves have been dug through the mountain but not all of these are safe. Bears and mountain lions guard the hills and many unsafe tunnels collapse without warning.
