The group awaken from another uneventful night’s sleep.
After a spot of breakfast the group debate where to head next and agree that
they should head west.
Couple of hours later the group come across what they believe to be a cave opening,
after much murmuring they decided to investigate the opening. Looking further
into the opening they manage to discover that the cave is roughly 30ft in
diameter of uninteresting stone until just as they are about to leave the cave
a small glint in the wall catches Miro eye, he begins to chip away at the rock
to slowly reveal a small vein of gold! Reluctantly the group leave the cave
with no possible way of mining the resource making note on their map to return
here at a later date and begin to head south east.
Riding through this hilly area whilst discussing what to do about the cave
they had just left behind the group notice a large ancient sycamore tree in the
distance, hoping to stumble upon some more treasure as they had with yesterday’s
tree they make their way to this looming ancient giant.
Walking around the ancient trees roots the group discover an entrance like whole
big enough for a human with a shaft heading underneath the tree. The group
climbs down the shaft and find themselves in an earthen passageway heading
deeper under the tree.
They eventually find themselves in an long chamber (Kidney shaped) which had
steps leading down in various places and the smell of dung was strongly evident
throughout the air, the group notice that on the other side of the chamber
stood with its back to them a small blue humanoid creature. The creature was
standing in front of what appeared to be a nest of eggs, Miro hoping to catch
the creature by surprise quietly attempts to sneak upon the creature but poor
Miro had not seen the 3 large centipedes lying near the blue creature that had
noticed his presence.
Seeing the centipedes stir the blue creature turns and also notices Miro,
the creature smiles in delight with a mouth of pointed teeth at the rogue and
brandishes it's knife by which point Miro had already began to "strategically
retreat" back towards the tunnel. Miro shouted at the party to retreat
back into the narrow tunnel as he ran towards and past them in hopes he
wouldn't targeted by the 3 now very large centipedes chasing after him.
Otto started to get ahead of the defensive by taking the offensive and threw
a flask of alchemists fire at the approaching centipedes and managed to set the
leading one alight, the lead centipede run up to the tunnel ceiling and ran
past the majority of the group as it headed after Miro.
Vaneer took the opportunity to strike the centipede crawling on the ceiling
with his mace and whilst he successfully squished its brains in and kill it the
centipede had the last laugh as the cleric got caught by the flames of the earlier
alchemist’s fire and soon found himself alight as well.
Kyrander attacked another of the centipedes and kills it with only seconds
from its attempt to bite him, hoping to end the combat quickly so that his comrades
could assist with his now flaming presence Vaneer pushes his way through the
group to meet the one remaining centipede and with a mighty "Thwack"
of his mace into the creatures abdomen he quickly completes the combat.
The group quickly deal with their flaming cleric and then make their way
back into the previous chamber only to find that the blue creature had
disappeared and most likely down the passage way on the opposite side of the
chamber.
Not sure whether to pursue the creature or not the group stand at the edge
of the tunnel it had escaped down discussing what to do, restless, Natalia
suggested that if they were to waste time standing around would it make sense
to destroy these centipede eggs? The party agree and start smashing, as they
start smashing the eggs a noise of voices shouting could be heard coming from
the tunnel they were just standing at.
Hoping this time to get the upper hand in this situation, Natalia and Otto
flank the sides of the tunnel entrance, Vaneer stands in front of the entrance
to ensure that whatever is coming is enticed out of the tunnel at the sight of
him standing in the open whilst Miro and Kyrander fall back and prepare their
bows to shoot at whatever appears.
As the first blue critter (A Mite) appears out of the tunnel Otto takes a
swing at it and aimed too high to miss it, Nataila and Bob seeing Otto miss
make their attacks and successfully dispatch the mite.
The 2nd mite runs out of the tunnel heading straight for Vaneer, Miro takes
his shot and misses the mite, Kyrander shoots and also misses leaving the
cleric to swing his mace only to also miss the mite who fails to bite him.
The 3rd mite runs out and attempts to attack Otto only to miss him.
The 4th mite ran straight for Miro and ironically manages to land a
successful blow to the rogue.
Otto retaliates against the mite standing in front of him and manages to
kill it with a single blow.
Nataila and Bob rush to assist Miro but fail to damage the mite attacking him;
Kyrander steadied his arm and took a deep breath before lodging an arrow into
the final mite killing him instantly.
