The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

[kirinke]

Teleri snopes around, looking at the walls, seeing if there are any writings and then examines the hobgoblin carcass. "Tyrinth's sister was the leader of a lizardmen tribe. Why would Tyrinth consort with hobgoblins? They are not snakes or reptilian in nature. It seems to me from what Naamie said, that Tyrinth is very xenophobic. At least, where non-reptilian creatures are concerned. It seems unlikely that this poor sod was here by chance. His body is relatively fresh."

"It is no trouble, friend Drogo," Calenthang replies. He puts an extra bounce in his step to assure his halfling friend that all is well.
Calenthang starts walking along the cave walls, examining and scrutinizing the details; he tries to remain inconspicuous about it.

 

[Majin]

Teleri's search does not bring up anything else.

Teleri looks at them, face grim. "We've tarried here long enough. We need to keep moving,"

(assume that teleri is marking the way with both the visible chalk-marks and less than noticable gouges in the wall with a chisel, she had bought from dagger falls.

 

[Velmont]

OCC: Sorry, I was a bit lost...

"Well, except if there is a hidden door, we can hardly hope to have a direct way. If the blood is coming from the person who was screaming, it was getting out from some small hole in the walls. I think we will have to do the long way."

Continuing northeast the passage widens and the current slows. Tiny blind fish bump your legs every time you move. Another 30 feet and the passage branches to the north and southeast. Looking north you can tell you've managed to circle back, as the northern room contains the well shaft where you oringally entered the cavers. Teleri's chalk marking can clearly be seen at the back of the room as well.

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand look at Teleri’s markings and smiles.
“Ok. We can take the passage to the south east, or we can go back north.
If we go north we should take that first passage north jurist around the corner. We followed the blood back to this room, so I think we some one is trying to keep us away from the north. I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t our hobgoblin friend back there, that screamed. Although I must thank him for these nice lenses.” He ads with a grin, bouncing one of the lenses on the palm of his hand.

 

[Seonaid]

[Sorry for the delay.] Chastity follows the others, unable to contribute much to the search. "Wherever we go, we should go quickly," she says softly.

 

[kirinke]

"Aye to that. I do not like the feel of being a mouse in a maze," Teleri mutters to herself. "So north we go," she said louder

 

[Majin]

Going north and then taking the other tunnel to the east finds you circling sharply back the way you came. Your come out in a room where the current is noticeably faster, and the floor is covered with slippery moss. Moving west will bring you to the souther branch of the main entrance where you have just come from. There is also an unexplored passage leading southwest, deeper into the cavern.
