Heading Nowhere Fast
General Summary
7000 litres of blood from the dragon.
From the Shop
Spend the evening, night, and next morning packing up the house and shopping to get prepped for the Estate Sale. Debette asks him to look further into the next of kin. Is there a link to other dragons through lineage?
Debetta keeps:
- Herbs and potion ingredients for a few mid-range potions if she desires to work on them.
- Address Book - Nothing of obvious note ( including Rune /transport circle addresses)
- Sales records - Nothing of obvious note
Ole Debetta heads due East with no real destination but a general concept of the main N-S highway. having "Gone Gypsy"
To Rock
The crew rises early and has a good breakfast with the gnome and dwarf. They talk about lore and stories, trying to deep dive for information about the cave they are heading to. Only thing the Gnome keeps saying is how dumb this idea is. They
SENDING STONE
Tor randomly calls Ole Debetta in case she can receive. "in torqioa heading NE". Debetta responds with her location.
The entrance to the cave appears to be a man-made stone structure. They search for tracks, traps, and oddities around the entrance. What is noteworthy is that there is NOTHING there to see - No tracks, no claw marks, or tool marks. Amnan can confirm this is a very old man-made entrance. They set up camp in the area where tracks still are visible. They find no wildlife for at least a mile from the camp/entrance.

Debetta
Day 2 on the road to the N-S passage. Head south to
Day 3 Message Castellor, and he ROUGHLY teleports me to The Crew's campsite. Taking damage from the teleportation, Debetta " buddy punches" Castellor but the party responds as a combat!
Eryn gets the impression is not a fight but a friendly exchange. Jace casts Finger of Death on Castellor but he counter spells. Eryn casts Entangle on everyone! Around and around and around the trust tug of war ensues. Finally, brushing off the dust, the conversation calms. We compare notes and maps. After some back and forth we head into the cave ahead of us.
Everything goes down the hole
The passageway is a dwarven-quality stone floored hall, 10ft x 10ft. Amnan and Debetta take the lead, checking for traps, until we come to a pair of double doors. ( a few hundred feet down) As we get closer it starts to glow. Intricately carved runes are on the door. In front of the door are long dead bodies lying about. The door is alteration magic and the walls are evocation ( damage) magic. The writing around the door is dwarven. " A M Y C " One letter in each corner.
Yes, yes it was a dance key to unlock and avoid death.
The road continues to an underground dwarven city with pillars from floors to vaulted ceilings miles above. Farther into the city is a river. A barely faint ambient light blankets the area. Single-story and multi-floored dwellings lead to a tall " wizards" tower in the center. We head directly to the tower. An ongoing stone-dragging sound comes from the west.
As we walk through town, piles of armour lay in doorways and streets. ( +1 weapons available) . Approaching the tower there is a fountain with a statue in front. There is no water in the fountain. The statue says " TREMEN _ HERO OF Kraytom-do-Ramise ". Around the statue are a series of slots in different shapes and sizes ranging from an inch and a half to 2 inches, possible shapes of weapons.
We move to the door and each has to answer a riddle to have the door turn transparent and able to be passed through into the room. As soon as all of us are in the room the sound of mechanical ticking precedes mechanoid creations coming down the stairs ahead of us.
Moments: Dance YMCA, Fight with Castellor, go into the cave of the dwarf/cleric hero.
