Jungle Hideaway
OOC:
Short summary:
The party was on their way to execute a mission for the Queen when some strange things happened in the jungle. Skáth disappeared for a short while, and while he was gone the group discovered a manor house and tower. They had begun exploring it when Skáth re-appeared (with no explanation as to his disappearance) and Diddious (Gavril's retainer) was discovered to have been captured.
A rescue mission was mounted, Diddious has now been recovered, and the group has decided to continue exploring the ruins in hopes of coming on (and destroying) the shadow creature that attacked them in the Wickshine's Last Inn. Thus far, there's been little in the way of opposition - some giant apes and a few skeletons, and a sighting (possibly) of the Shadow Demon.
Here's a repost of the map to date. Athelstan's just come up out of the pool, and the party's moved East down the stairs in the NorthEast corner of the map. The room Béar is looking into is 15' by 7 1/2', with a portcullis in the center of the East wall and a largish stone statue in the SouthEast Corner. A lever is on the East wall just North of the portcullis. A tunnel with a sandy floor can be seen through the portcullis heading off East.
OOC: Christopher has decided to take Deasaigh out of the game, at least for now - he's got too much going on with school, work, and girlfriend to devote the time he feels he should to the game.
