The Drow War Book One - Chillhame

[Evil Ujio]

You are deep within the mine, at the bottom of the lift shaft. Water is pouring in from high above. A tunnel leads off into the darkness to the north. Your light reflects off the black water that already partly fills the tunnel. There is no doubt that the mines will be completely flooded if the rain persists outside.

The air here is cool, but the feeling of dread remains...

 

[Thanee]

Kyalia

“That worked well enough, but we need to hurry, the water is rising steadily,” Kyalia says while slowly proceeding into the north tunnel.

 

[Voadam]

"Agreed, haste is needed." Enthalus moves along with Kyalia and the group.

 

[Endur]

Laurel hurries down the tunnel.

“That worked well enough, but we need to hurry, the water is rising steadily,” Kyalia says while slowly proceeding into the north tunnel.

Kyalia walks towards the only obvious exit and collapses into the water at the entrance to the corridor leading out of the chamber. She looks like she tripped. She lands unceremoniously in the water with a splash, but what is more intriguing is what she tripped on. With a better look you can see a body just beneath the surface of the water…

 

[Festy_Dog]

Saxon wades over to the priestess to give her a hand back to her feet. He casts a neutral glance at the corpse in the water, desiring to gather what knowledge he can of it without having to place his hands upon it.

"Pleasant," he says sarcastically.

 

[Ranger Rick]

Is it dead?....eeeee yech, is it the children?

 

[Voadam]

Enthalus provides illumination. He guesses that the corpse is probably a dead hobgoblin weighed down by its armor since it is not floating, but he wonders what caused its death.

"Pleasant," he says sarcastically.

With Saxon's cursory glance, he can see that the corpse was that of a man. It is a state of decay, bloated, with torn and worn clothes that were of fine make at one time. Even in the state of decay, there is a brutal cut across the neck clearly visible...
