Location: Underground Lake "The Cove", 1 hour 30 minutes to Nightfall
As the group bonds, and discusses their abilities and if they would like to take the time needed for a rest, they secure the kayaks and venture around the corner to have a look at the strange obelisk.
Aquaria's new sword provides the most constant light, so she uses it to brighten the area.
The "cove" is a shallow part of the lake, with a wide, muddy beach. While your boots get wet and covered with a thick slate-grey mud, the footprints you leave fill with water, and then quickly erode into slight indentations, resembling footprints no longer. You estimate that within minutes, there would be no sign that you had ever walked in that path.
The water flows across the area and funnels through a narrow gap in the cavern, flowing fast again, and dropping over a series of ledges to another, lower area. Throughout the shallow "cove", just under the water, grows a thick grey grass-like plant, oddly incongruent with the lightless environment, bowed in the direction of the current.
The obelisk is on a round dais; one side of it is shaped crudely like a humanoid figure, the other dug-out like a rounded coffin, large enough that one could lie inside it (standing up). There are various arcane markings on both the dais and the obelisk, which is made from a rough red stone.
| GM: | Drako (and anyone else if they have it) should give me an Arcana check. History would also be good, as would Religion when looking at the obelisk. Perception and/or Nature might be good when looking at the grass. The new waterfall, while not as loud as the previous one, still echoes across the chamber making it hard to hear.
Let me know if you want to have taken a short rest before coming here, and I will adjust the time. |
