In Caerth's mind, it feels like forever ago that he first came out to Gurnard's Head even though it's been only been a week or so since that first foray. Regardless, he quite clearly remembers the room that lies ahead on the left. It seemed uneventful at first, a cave carved from the stone by humanoid hands. There were rotting pallets, iron rings driven into the walls, and old rusted manacles attached to lengths of chains scattered across the room's floor.
And there was a wooden door on the southern wall of the room. It had been stuck but was no trouble for Quinn to get open. What was beyond that door however was another matter. The second room had been a shrine consecrated to evil. There was a gaunt figure of death covered in chains. The being had smelled of death but it did not immediately attack. It had seemed to be bound to the room and could not leave it. Fearful of facing the monster after barely fighting off the centipede, the door was closed and pallets piled in front of it. The creature would be dealt with later, it was decided.
The corridor that extends beyond the entryway to the two connected rooms continues on for some way. Caerth remembers a set of stairs cut through the rock that lead down to another level. The stairs had been flanked by black monoliths worked with inlaid glyphs and evil holy symbols. And there had been a strange scrawled symbol on the floor written in blood. That had been as far down the corridor as the group had gone but it continues on into what had looked like to be an oval-shaped room.
It was at this point that the group went to explore the western corridor and first encountered Hornauer and his brood. Caerth remembers there was another branch off that corridor but the group never explored it.
