Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" CLOSED

Allyra

Allyra tries the rope herself first, but if she doesn't manage to climb up or it seems to dangerous to do so, not being the most versed in these things, she will gladly accept Keldar's offer for assistance.


OOC: Climb -1

Climbing up to the ledge is quite easy, there are plenty of foot and hand holds in the cave's wall, and using the rope make it even easier.
The tunnel is short and the ledge on the other side is narrow, but two or three can squeeze along it. Looking to the west and to the east you see only the river (the river is 40' down from the ledge) there are turns and curves so you can see the whole river.

Looks like a dead end, unless someone wants to jump into the strong stream, who knows how deep it is.
Garon say.

“We'll keep that for later, I think.” Allyra comments. “There are plenty more ways to try first.”

“We'll keep that for later, I think.” Allyra comments. “There are plenty more ways to try first.”

"Indeed! But this is a good spot to spend the night, if we wish to do so in the caves. It's well protected, and we can see any enemy coming... Alright, lets explore another tunnel."
Keldar presses on for another tunnel

(occ: can we have an updated map?)

you leave the guano filled cave and return to the main entrance after completing the east section of the caves. looking worridly on the stone mouths Garon speaks.

What now?

"How about the next one in line?" suggests Turo.

"How about the next one in line?" suggests Turo.

Keldar nods, and moves forward.

Allyra

“As good as any of the other from this point of view.”

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Ignoring the mouth's "Turn back … this is not the way!" you proceed into the tunnel, only to return back few seconds lather to the big room, the path was a dead end.
Ignoring the third mouth, you venture into the third tunnel, the one that is opposite to the staircase.
The small cave you have just entered has bones scattered throughout it. There is a low mound of dung in the middle of the place, and what appears to be a crushed Minotaur skeleton at the south end of the cave. Beside the skeleton are two leather sacks. The floor and ceiling are fairly smooth. But then you take several steps back and scan again the ceiling, yes … you all see it, hovering above, almost invisible, there is a gray huge creature (20' diameter), looks like a manta-ray, it is attached to the ceiling right above the minotaur skeleton and camouflaged almost completely.

“A manta ray you say? Does it move? Is there any way out of this cavern? If not, we should just go back and not disturb it.”
