Session 05: The Chamber Beneath the Cabin Report

General Summary

CABIN IN THE WOODS

  • With Thaymirr having just discovered the ladder beneath the fireplace in the cabin, the party slowly heads down into the darkness.
  • Very quickly, the party discovers Luvon and Dilya each locked in what appears to be jail cells. Unfortunately, Dilya is unconscious.
  • Luvon explains that the three of them hadn't actually gone hunting but had heard about bandits doing strange things in the forest.
  • Sadly, the three were captured by the bandits and, with heads covered, they were apparently led to this chamber. He has no idea where he is.
  • It is revealed that Torrieth possibly escaped. The two heard lots of yelling and Torrieth screamed a bit. Men also yelled and there was a lot of slamming noises before things wound up getting quiet. Luvon doesn't know where Torrieth went.
  • The party notices a strangely lit altar at the northern end of the chamber. The chamber itself appears around 150 years old though the wooden altar seems much newer.
  • The altar seems a bit hastily created likely from people who did not entirely know what they were doing. What appears to be a sort of cat-like skeleton lies in a roughly put together setting at the center of the altar.
  • Above the altar in very large and roughly scrawled letters are, again, the words ONDI NAYA. There are no other details explaining what these words mean.
  • The group decides to investigate the other end of the chamber as they try to figure out a way to release Luvon and Dilya.
  • They see four dead men laying scattered around the floor just before three giant spiders emerge from the darkness.
  • The battle with the spiders was fairly straightforward and a search of the dead bodies quickly revealed a rusty key.
  • The party returns to the cells and Thaymirr Madison restores Dilya to consciousness. She remains very weak but also confused about where she is.
  • With the keys in hand, they quickly release both Luvon and Dilya. Doric firmly embraces Dilya and even shares some emotion at finding two of the three lost friends.
  • As the session ended, there remained some mystery about how the giant spiders wound up getting into the chamber at their size
