Message: <blockquote data-quote="John Dallman" data-source="post: 8834410" data-attributes="member: 6999616">The AD&D1e party have been exploring "The Caverns of Adamant," which was once an adamant mine, but became disused. Various creatures and people moved into it over time. Since the party have become very wealthy by finding a gold mine, they're somewhat interested in finding more mines. Over the past few sessions, we've discovered a flooded system of shafts below the level of the mine. which appear to have been eaten into the mountain, rather than dug with tools as the mine was. The flood water is seawater, which is interesting as the mine is about 3000' above sea level, and many miles from the nearest coast. We had an encounter with sahuagin within the mine, and as far as we know (which is not much), they only live in the sea. The world of Avalon has only one continent and is mostly ocean. In the last session, our report reached the intelligence agency we sometimes work for, who called us in and asked lots of questions. The really giant worm that ate the largest shaft, which is about 70' in diameter, matches worms that have been found mining adamantite in [CLASSIFIED AND REDACTED], which is a worry for the agency because of [THING WE DON'T KNOW, WHICH THE AGENCY MANAGED TO AVOID EVEN HINTING AT]. They sent some much higher-level people to look at the place, and we went along as guides. The worm business was confirmed, as was the way that the sahuagin are getting in, and the tunnel where the seawater is coming in was found, although not how it gets there or where it goes. It became clear that there were questions to be asked of the wizard who used to be based here. He was a monster-maker, who seems to have been eaten by his own chimeras about 30 years ago. We knew where his bones were, but there was no response on Speak with Dead by a cleric who certainly should be able to reach back far enough. There are several imaginable reasons for that, but the session ended there.</blockquote>
