[LPF] Pirate Treasure

[sunshadow21]

While poking at the darkmantle, the party sees a surprisingly fresh mostly eaten humanoid body stuffed into a small nook. The darkmantles have eaten well and only just recently if the state of the body is any indication. There is definitely a decent sized group at the bottom of the cave around the corner, and the party is experienced enough to suspect that they aren't going into hugs and light conversation for greetings, but with the darkmantles already having claimed one of their own, they also aren't likely to come exploring up this way, either.

OOC: I'll get a post up starting the next scene sometime Saturday or Sunday. That will give you some time to make any preparations you wish before the fun begins.

Qalabash Baram



Qalabash sighed and shook his head at the eaten body. It was a grim job and he didn't expect anyone else to do it so he pulled the body from the crevice and searched it for salvage.

"Poor fellow probably didn't know what hit him."

When the job was done Qalabash wiped his hands and readied himself to move down the passageway.

The party finds nothing of particular interest on the decomposed body; you eventually spot a pretty standard rapier close to the body, but that's pretty much it. Proceeding down the tunnel, you reach the turn and find a very hastily, and poorly, constructed wall of old ship planks blocking entrance to a small natural cave. Tearing down enough of these planks to get through is fairly easy, but a couple of the planks are actually well placed and will require additional effort and more noise to remove. At the far end, you see another opening to what is probably a much larger space guessing from the noise coming from there. In this cave a small fire pit and a couple of nasty looking bedrolls with seaweed underneath them to keep them off the cold ground can be seen. You also see one bald, completely hairless humanoid roughly the size and build of a human with webbed feet and hands. He isn't wearing much aside from a loincloth and has a rapier and a dagger hanging from the loincloth rope. He looks up with a startle as the first of you appear, clearly not expecting anybody from that direction.

[sblock=map]
The space where the tunnel ends and the room begins (roughly B-C 22-23) is squeezing because of a fair bit of loose wood still hanging from the sides.[/sblock]

Qalabash Baram



Qalabash maintained his position at the tail of the group's line. He kept his eyes trained back along their path to make sure that they weren't snuck up on by harpies or more cave-squids or restless, dead pirates. His cat moved forward near Tamarie and Cruendithas and growled low in his throat.

"Peace, Beast," muttered Qalabash. "We'll be back at the Dunn Wright with our feet propped up in front of the fire before you know it! Ah, what do you see up there, lads and lasses?"

Tamarie the Songweaver
Crossbow still in hand from the last battle, Tamarie cast a glance down at the odd cat that had become Qalabash's companion. Taking a breath, the songweaver moves up along the wall, alert for danger. The ioun torch flits about her head, providing light she goes. "Let's see what we have," she mutters under her breath.

Crue watches as the body is searched. While not a pleasant job it is one that any treasure hunter, even the most inexperienced, has done to find the secrets hidden away before death. In some cases even after death. It is a good sign that the dead stayed dead and did not reach for Qalabash as he searched the body.

As the group clears the obstruction to reveal the cave Crue helps as he can and maintains his position behind Dunkel.

Wahyu waved a ward around him, and stepped into the room, "Greetings! My friends and I have found ourselves far farther north than we anticipated, and thought we might stay the night in this cave, how long have you been trapped here, might I ask?"

The creature blinks quickly, looking like he's ready to bolt, but something about Wahyu makes him stay and motion very vigorously to keep quiet. Slowly inching close enough to just barely be heard with a whisper, he replies, "We are not trapped; our great and noble dread lords have setup their den in the cave yonder (pointing to the opening to the larger cave). They will not take kindly to your presence, so for your own good, you should turn around and go back the way you came, forgetting about this cave completely."
