They complained of terrible headaches and malaise (dazed). We consecrated the earth with fire and ash of Vezzuvu. It (Xin Mae elaborates...'yeah, this says it')_did_not_like that.  Translucent appendages, seemingly ethereal in quality (insubstantial), rose up against the poor souls working the hard earth at the bottom of the site.  The could not fend them off with their shovels or picks and soon their heads were...swallowed.  The first worker turned against the second, the second against the third, and on and on (dominated).<another cough though this one with discomfort> ...we now flee for our lives..."Xin Mae dramatically closes the log book, then looks up.  "Yeeeeeah....well, none of that is good."[HR][/HR]* So clearly vs Will attacks, a large Hazard with dazed (save ends), Controller with insubstantial appendage attacks that create dominated (save ends).So Consequence of a micro-failure will be combat ensues with those parameters involved. The Caiphon-ian threat with Vezzuvu stuff as well (the two appear to be at odds).* So 2 x concurrent SCs. Both of-level, both complexity 1.1)  Locate Arunny's brother and father.2)  Find out what happened to the remaining Blessed Ten (those trapped here with Qamra) and locate them.Level 7, Complexity 1, 1 Secondary Skill @ Easy DC 11. Med DC 16, NAD DC 19, AC 21.The features below in The Pit:* Grooves in the stone glowing faint purple.* A ruined altar to Vezzuvu.* A makeshift living quarters with tattered bedrolls and napsacks.* A hewn catchment basin with befouled water.* A crude Omthalan prayer quilt, patchworked together by various swathes.* 10 steps roughly carved into the wall at the base, the project long since abandoned.</blockquote>
