Staircase to the Depths
A cave found in The Pits by Saga. It is located a offroad between Harbeld and Foamridge
From this point the cave looks natural but modified for use by people. The pool continues into a tunnel. Its depth is uneven throughtout. As the tunnel widens up into a cavernous room, the pool shallows.
5 to 6 hours in, a drumming echo of crashing waves, voices and thunder can be heard. It is a chaotic mix of sound that sounds unnatural. We reach our destination as the noise becomes louder: the Quarry.
In the middle of the room (not seen from the entrance) a pile of corpses can be found. The corpses are of various races and there is a pool of dried blood around it. The noise originates from this heap.
Muireall den Mhuir tried the thunderwave the pile, but the corpses jojo'd back in place through an unseen force. As she did the noise changed to choir music for her.
Entrance
This see;ingly constructed cave consist of a curving dirt staircase down that has clearly been carved. It abruptly ends in a 200 feet deep pit with murky water at the bottom.The Bottom
The water is deep enough for a medium humanoid to not touch the ground.From this point the cave looks natural but modified for use by people. The pool continues into a tunnel. Its depth is uneven throughtout. As the tunnel widens up into a cavernous room, the pool shallows.
The Shelves
The spacious room has several rock croppings jutting out of the side. With a ladder the lowest cropping (shelf) can be reached, The ladder was present but broken. It was mended by Artiana Sootfoot. The shelves are littered with broken pottery shards. From the upper shelves a tunnel continues deeper into the cavern system.Deeper in the depths
There are a lot of paths further in the cavern. We were guided by Jinx along the "Long Road". (The Quick Way involved a lot of climbing as he is proficient in it, but we are not really built for that)Along the Long Road
We passed several Shelves rooms with intact ladders. The first one of them had some intact pottery. Artiana Sootfoot found one still containing Bonerust. A table and some stools are also present. On the wall symbols were present: triangle with line and fish5 to 6 hours in, a drumming echo of crashing waves, voices and thunder can be heard. It is a chaotic mix of sound that sounds unnatural. We reach our destination as the noise becomes louder: the Quarry.
The Quarry
In this quarry like spaces, tables, old lanterns, candles and crates are scattered around. In the distance something akin to a mine shaft/elevator is present. The room is too large to see everything by torchlight.In the middle of the room (not seen from the entrance) a pile of corpses can be found. The corpses are of various races and there is a pool of dried blood around it. The noise originates from this heap.
Muireall den Mhuir tried the thunderwave the pile, but the corpses jojo'd back in place through an unseen force. As she did the noise changed to choir music for her.
History
This natural cavern was used by smuggler's/thieves for their nefarious deeds as shown by the (presumed) thieves cant and drugs found. The cave has since been abandoned and Jinx lives(?) here now.
