Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth"

[Thanee]

“You know what. The direction this cavern passage is heading really gives me hope to actually find something else down here, than just more dead ends, hungry monsters, and various sorts of funghi.”

[Rhun]

Turo shakes his head and smiles. "Those were strange beasts, to be sure. Is anyone injured?"

[Thanee]

“Indeed, this beast bit me twice...” Allyra says, and she does look quite heavily wounded.


OOC: Allyra is at 18/33, I believe.

[Steve Gorak]

"I was bitten too, but I can handle it. Allyra needs some attention", he says, looking at her with concern.

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

We can check out where this columned gallery takes us.
Say the Sorcerer and points forward.
I don't think the scorched morays will come back.

Turo heals the other members, you are full
(I guess – Rhun, do you have enough cure spells for them?)

[Rhun]

With a quick prayer to Garl Glittergold, Turo sends his healing power flowing into Allyra's body, closing her wounds and removing the pain. That task done, the gnome moves to help the others search the pillared chamber.



Turo drops Hold Person for Cure Moderate Wounds on Allyra (2d8+8 damage should heal her all the way)

Keldar will lead the way in the columned gallery.

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

This area has the smell and look of a place where particularly dirty, ogre-like monster would live. You note that the cave is irregularly shaped and has no apparent entrance other than the passage by which your party entered. There are some bones and skulls strewn around. You see a flat rock which appears to have been used as a table - it still has the remains of some creature upon it, as if it were being carved for dinner, for a great knife is stuck into the carcass. There is a place where fires have been lit and cooking done, at the far end of the cave. You see a pile of old hides and skins, a huge creature sleeps among the pile of hides, he is snoring loudly with his back at you.

[Steve Gorak]

Keldar whispers VFERY quitely to his companions: "He may be our only way out. We could kill it in his sleep, which would bring us no honor, but may give us another 24hours. However, if we cannot find a way out, we are doomed anyways. Better to try to reason with the beast. If it doesn't cooperate, we can engage it in an honorable battle. In any case, the outcome would be the same. Better to try to bargain with it. I recommend we offer it some tasty food...something it is not used to, in order to negociate. Unfortunately, I am not good with words, and would risk insulting it. But I will stand by our negociator, and swear on my honor that I will bear the first blow, if it comes to that.."
