[QUOTE="PieAndDragon, post: 3557364, member: 18108"] [B]Tunnel Exploration[/B] When I heard voices once more, it was not the Host of Light which serve my lord Yelmalio, but the high pitched voice of Khaki, the low boom of Liverpate and the argumentative sound of Hoisin. I had not perished. The jagged pains in my injured leg receded as I drank our greatest restorative potion, supplied by my church. Bizarre sensations ran through my leg, as bones reset and flesh and muscle knitted together to restore the limb to whole. I would walk and fight once again. Hoisin and Khaki had proved more than a match for the remaining man-scorpions, now turning to investigate the immediate cavern before we left to lick our wounds. Liverpate was likewise up and around, although still weakened from blood loss and injuries. The disgusting creatures carried no treasures among them, but at the back of the cave, we found various gems arranged in a runic pattern amidst a crude shrine. Khaki recognised the rune as belonging to a fearsome Chaos god, associated to beings she called vampires. We destroyed the shrine with mace and blade, taking the gems for safe-keeping and retreating the way we came. None followed as we retreated, walking an hour into the wilderness to fined a safe refuge. Setting a watch, we rested for 3 nights, letting wounds heal and nerves calm, telling tales of family and past adventures. I spoke of my aspiration to find an earth-priest wife, the only type permitted by my cult, and desire to raise a family to continue the Muskovy name. My companions seek wealth, glory and power in the cult, as many do. Fully rested, Khaki lead us back to labyrinth of the scorpion-men. We found no signs of recent tracks or other activity around the entrance, continuing the investigation of the room we has half-searched before. We kept ears pricked for more scuttling sounds, but heard nothing more of the scorpion-men. The rubble and debris of the room yielded nothing of worth, so we continued on to places we had yet to step. Amongst the caverns and rooms near to our recent battle, there were signs of scorpion-man habitation, places they slept and left their messy business. There were corpses of scorpion-men and other creatures, all long dead, but nothing of value. Hoisin ignored Khaki’s orders to sift through the foul-smelling pile of refuse and excretion, using his magic to detect any eldritch auras. Finding nothing, we returned to more unexplored areas. All of the complex was created with worked stone, obviously not worked by the crude scorpion-men, and I mused as to who had created these halls. My musings were cut short as the passageway widened into a cavern before us, and scorpion-men attacked from the darkness, where they had been awaiting us. [/QUOTE]
