The Drow War Book One - Chillhame

[Voadam]

"I don't think this one will have an air shaft in the floor if the rain is pooling in there. Must be a shaft or crack to the surface though." Enthalus muses as he considers the water covering the floor here.

 

[Ranger Rick]

Why do you think it is rain water?

 

[Voadam]

"Because it is pouring outside and we are at the top of the mine, although it is pretty deep to be solely from the rain that just started. Let's check it out and see if I'm right. If it is brackish that would indicate old water from prior rains or a different source, if it is fresh and there is a hole in the ceiling that water enters in from then I would take that as evidence to support my theory."

Even in dangerous hobgoblin territory, Enthalus seems engaged with curiosities and intellectual theories.

 

[Ranger Rick]

Dolan looks at Enthalus with a puzzled look in his eyes and a snobbish sneer, than dismissively shakes his head.

Assuming that the door is pushed open for a better view…

The room beyond the door is a featureless cell of sort, perhaps a storage room; the only thing of notice is a small rag doll floating in the water, looking a dingy yellow in the water, which has a slight odor to it. The water is just as deep inside the room and there seems to be nowhere else to go beyond this room, beyond the iron door.

In the faint light something looks to be written on the far wall… but hard to make out even for keen elven vision, as the darkness grows more oppressive.

 

[Endur]

Laurel shivers as if the darkness is cold.

Saxon enters the room, and retrieves the doll. After a brief look at it he presents it to Mzarem, who in turn inspects the item, mostly through scent.

"It would appear we're on the right track," Saxon says, and takes a longer look at the toy.

 

[Thanee]

Kyalia

“Yes,” Kyalia says, following the druid into the room striding towards the writing on the wall.

 

[Festy_Dog]

As Kyalia strides towards it Saxon finally notices the writing on the wall. He hadn't taken notice of it with his inferior vision.

"What's it say?" he asks, taking a couple of steps over.

 

[Evil Ujio]

“Yes,” Kyalia says, following the druid into the room striding towards the writing on the wall.

The wall is written in chalk perhaps, and the handwriting is overall quite juvenile but it reads in Common, 'Help hobgoblins took us'.

The doll is a simple rag doll with brown buttons for eyes, stitching for a mouth and a simple stained dress. It is damp, and there is little else that is telling about the doll.
