"If I may?" says Shem. He's recovered a bit from his sea-sickness. "I've spent a lot of time making deals with the kind of people we're talking about here. Sure, you might not trust them, but these are also the kind of people who take their word seriously, otherwise what you got? Pirates have...

The tunnel winds and twists further away from the water cavern. Further down, by the next bend, it is illuminated by a torch set in a cresset.

Gwyneira is probably in no further danger from the cold, but will need a fire and warm food to fully recover. Meanwhile, Daunton studies the bones - mortal remains hold no superstitious awe for the elf, and he does so calmly and dispassionately. "There is no sign of magic," he says. "A human...

Down to the next ledge, and one final bridge remains that leads down to a rocky outcropping above the beach. From here it is easier to see the jetty, with a small boat moored up at it. From this ledge a tunnel winds its way further into the bowels of Old Korvosa, turning a corner to a...

Dungeoneering, foremost, but Nature would work as well.

OOC: No, it was sketched a bit carelessly but the "opening" from the overlook room is little more than an arrow slit, and about 20 ft. above ground level.

"We're a small vessel, and not carrying anything of value," says Ying, but he regards the group steadily at this last statement as if trying to ascertain if it's really true. "With luck we can slip past any Bloodhawks and if not, well, they'd have little reason to waylay us for long." Kop the...

The door is locked no longer, and opens onto a small room. From the look of the contents it is occupied by someone who spends their time making carvings of animals. Apart from a small bed, the rest of the room contains shelves of carved animal statuettes, some crudely made, other exquisitely...

"Reckon Middo's got a good point," says Kraken. "We should take out whatever's controlling these tentacles as soon as poss, and deeper down seems like the place to go, eh? However," he looks around the group. "Something bothers me. We're supposed to collect all these crystals, right? But Hendo...

As Arcata and and Bastian head to the overlook, Cassie and one of the Copper Dwarves follow, crossbows at the ready. Comoray moves to a more central position whilst the other Copper Dwarves form a defensive line, with Fyfe ending up part of it. The stocky Dulat trooper looks momentarily...

Mhairi finds no traps on the door, but it is locked. Manachan drops his lighted pebble into the depths below. It drops with a "plunk" into water below, about 50 ft., and sits somewhere below the surface, illuminating the cave with an eerie rippling light. As it falls, it shows that the next rope...

Ying regards the parchment. "Tuuma Strait," he says with a groan. "You want us to sail into the most pirate-infested waters this side of Tas-Nabrenor? You have heard of the Tuuma Cormayr, I take it? The Bloodhawks, the Red Talon? Big, organised pirate navy with sea monsters under their control...

Ignatius sees nothing magical in the immediate surroundings, so the group pass through the fungus "garden". The varied fungi seem harmless enough, at least for prudent adventurers who don't needlessly poke and pry, and the group make it round to the rope bridge, which slopes down to a lower...

Bones. That's what the white object in the pool turns out to be. But thanks to a trick of the light they are deeper than they look, and Quint isn't able to reach them from the shore. So Gwyneira climbs in to the ice-cold water to retrieve them. The pool is deeper than it looks, but she is able...

After a week at sea, the Shadow Lark sails into the calm waters of Port Linlin, northernmost port on Oksa. The Sea of Deep Wisdom is calm this time of year but there is still sizaeable swell in the open waters. Shem spends most of the time sick, and is visibly relieved when land comes into sight...

Menexes glances at the other tunnels. "Only one leads to the outside, but Schattenstein vill haf to travel long many miles across rough terrain to find it," he says. OOC: Yes, the other tunnel leads up to what amounts to little more than an arrow slit, used to observe the entrance. Still...
