"They seem to be trying to get something... maybe someone out!" Iona stated as she took Aravashnial's hand and set it upon Anevia shoulder. "Stay here, we'll be back." She told them before she headed off to help.

Viktor nods, then starts running over. "Hail! Is there somebody under the rubble?"


The group approaches the two humanoids that are digging in the rubbles. As you get closer, you have a hard time identifying what they are exactly. Finally, when they hear your voice, they both turn toward you and you recognize them as mongrelfolks. There is a woman and a man. The woman is hunchbacked and her face is warped by tumors. The man is tall and thin with a face that melds the features of an attractive, even man, a goat, and a lizardfolk. They both take a defensive position, looking at each other with a nervous glance.

The man then starts talking. Though he speaks in common, his raspy voice is strangely accented but quite eloquent. “If your intentions are ill, we ask you to move on and leave us in peace. If they are good, then perhaps you can help. As you can see, misfortune has befallen us.”

Viktor shows his holy symbol. "Good. What happened, how can we help?"

Aleria holsters her weapon and moved forward, bowing to the group. "We are here to help!"


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"Yes, we can speak more about who we are after." Iona said as she joined her two friends. "What can we help with? We felt the crash."


They look at you, still a bit defensive. "You come to help?" He look puzzled by this. Obliviously, he is not used to have stranger offering help. Then the urgency of the situation is back on his mind as he wave the group closer. "Yes, we need help. Lann is trap Under the rubble here and we are unable to get him out by ourselves."

You look over the situation and you think you can come up with a solution.

Three options here.

You can move the biggest boulder out of the way, that is a Strength check DC 25. There is enough room for up to 6 people. One main and 5 helping.

Option 2 is a knowledge Engineering DC 15 to find a way to use a lever and a Strength check DC 16. It is easier, but you have less control over the boulder and it might crush Lann if you fail.

Option 3 is a Profession miner DC15. You slowly dig him out. The danger here removes the débris in the wrong order and having it shifts. If that happened, Lann could end up having the air squeeze out of his lung and suffocate.


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

Viktor looks at the delicate structure of the cave in and grimaces. "If you all help me I could try to simply move that boulder. Do we have any expertise or better ideas?"


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bakji agrees and offers to help after using a bit of guidance.

Look I'm helping: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"Is all I can think of as well. Allow me to help." Iona said with a nod as she moved along with Bakji to help push the boulder.

Aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20


Female Human Pistolero Gunslinger (Level 1) / HP 11 / AC 17 / T 13 / FF 14 / Fort +3 / Ref +5 / Will +4 / Perception +8 / Survival +8 / Initiative +3

Aleria nods and steps forward, setting her shoulder against the boulder.

Aid1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Come on! We need more people!"

Two more people with successful assists and we got this!


The two mongrelfolks rush to help, adding their strength to yours. Giving everything you have, the boulder finally rolls off. From there, it takes just a few seconds to clear the smaller debris to get to the trapped mongrelman. They help him get up, shaking the dust off him and making sure he isn't too seriously hurt. Then, the one that talked to you turns back in your direction.

"You have helped us in our time of need without asking for something in exchange first. That isn't something that you normally see down here. From the look of you, I'm guessing you are from the surface, yes? Strange to see you coming from that tunnel" He points in the tunnel you came from. "Nothing good usually comes from there."

The rest of your group joins you. Anevia looks at them with a mix of curiosity and pity. Aravashnial, well he can't see, so he hasn't shown any emotions so far. As for Horgus, you are not sure exactly what he is thinking, but he gives the impression of someone calculating something.


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

"Yes we are surface dwellers. There was some sort of cave in and we became trapped down here. If you could point us in the right direction to return we would be most grateful."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14


Female Human Pistolero Gunslinger (Level 1) / HP 11 / AC 17 / T 13 / FF 14 / Fort +3 / Ref +5 / Will +4 / Perception +8 / Survival +8 / Initiative +3

"It costs us nothing to help good folk who are in need. We all should help each other!" Aleria smiled brightly at the mongrelmen.

Aid Another1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bakji stands back once the bolder is clear and takes up a position of defense looking outward. He gives a small nod to the others conversation but that's all the inclination that he was even paying attention to them that he gives.


"A cave in? Yes, we did have multiple tremors down here. It did a lot of damage and we lost some tunnels as a result. There might still be a path open to the surface, but... well, it's not within our territories and you might have to fight your way through. To get there, you first have to pass through Neathholm. It's our home. I'm sure that our leader would like to meet with you also. Just give us a moment to get our gear and we can be on our way." With that, the three of them head to one side of the cavern to pick up their packs and then wave you to another tunnel.


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

Viktor smiles as they decide to join the party. "Excellent! I will take point, tell me where to lead!"


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

Iona thanked them and returned to the blind mage's side. "If we are lucky maybe we can rest there for a short time." She said as she followed along, ensuring that Aravashnial was doing okay behind her. "Um, if I may," She called out to those leading them "was it you all who carved those statues of Crusaders in the tunnels? And the temple of Torag?" She asked.


The group walk in the tunnels, following the mongrelfolks directions. You quickly come to the conclusion that if you hadn't found them, you would have been lost down here for months. As you walk, Iona gets a bit closer to the group leader and asks him a few questions. He looks at her for a second, not sure what she means. "Statues of Crusaders?" He seems to think about it for a few seconds. "Oh, you mean the statues of the ancestors. You did come the right direction for that. Those were carved by our elders decades ago. When our people migrated here to avoid the disaster that hit the surface. As for the temple of Torag? No idea about that, I've never gone that far in that direction." You turn into a tunnel, and all of a sudden you end up facing a deep chasm. The mongrefolks move closer to the edge and look down. "Hummm, most have been created with the last few tremors. Not a problem, there is another way around, it's just a bit longer." You turn back a few yards and head into another tunnel.


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"You said that they where your ancestors? What disaster happened upon the surface? What is missing from our history?" Iona asked as she kept Aravshnial close so that he wouldn't go anywhere near the chasm. "I feel this is something that shouldn't have been forgotten..."


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

Viktor's own curiousity is taking the form of Iona's questions, so while he leads silently he eagerly listens for answers to her questions.


"Our ancestor came here over a hundred years ago. There was a great disaster on the surface. A god dying and demons taking over the world. Our ancestors fought back and helped clear the demons away, but the land was poisoned and they had to flee underground to protect their young. It is said that because we fled here, we never develop a resistance that the poisoned landscape and can't make the trip back to the surface. To do so would be our death."

He stops for a second, looking at the path ahead. "Now, was it a left here or right?" The woman with then taps on his shoulder and points to the left and then makes other gestures. "Right, left here. Also, we might be heading for a fight, there is a basidirond that lives in the cavern up ahead. Though, with the size of our group, it might just stay out of our way."


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

Viktor always appreciates a good story, especially when it's important to a culture or civilization. "A what you say? Well if it's the only way to the surface." Viktor raises his shield cautiously.


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"Wait... A God dying... Have your people been down here since the fall of Arodin?" Iona asked with a gasp as the thought came to her. "That would mean you have all been down here since the opening of the world wound... How have you been lost all this time?" She wondered aloud to herself.

"A basidirod? What are those?" She asked when the topic came up.


Aravashnial squeezes Iona's shoulder for a second. "Aroden died in 4606, Then the first crusade happened from 4622 to 4630 AR. That's about a century ago. What he said fit with our history, but I can't think of anything that would go to the great disaster or poisoned landscape aside from the Worldwound. The rest of the world isn't poisoned."

The mongrelfolk just shrug at Aravashnial's comment and continue walking. "A basidirond is a plant like creature that feed on mineral-rich moisture. They usually go for for what they can find on the walls and floors of caverns, but they have been known to also feed on blood. It doesn't move fast, so we usually just try to outrun it." You walk for a few more minutes and then he stops you. "It's right in there, can you see in the dark?" He asks while looking straight at Viktor.


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

"Nope." Viktor says, blindly staring at the wall of darkness. "How slow? Running is not my best skill." He says with a chuckle.


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bakji spoke up at this point "Sadly, none of us do well in the dark. My eyes perhaps work the best out of us but even I need a small amount of light." he said flatly.

"Is this a beast that plagues your people? Would it be better for your town if we were to simply take it out?" he asked curiously.


Female Human Pistolero Gunslinger (Level 1) / HP 11 / AC 17 / T 13 / FF 14 / Fort +3 / Ref +5 / Will +4 / Perception +8 / Survival +8 / Initiative +3

"Wait... there is a plant creature that eats people in there...? What ahm... what if it attacks us? How do we kill it?"


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

"I imagine much the same as we would kill anything else. If it's our only way out, let us proceed!" Viktor says as he marches in.


The mongrelfolks looks at each other and then back at the group. "Kill it? Why? Do you kill every creature that eats meat on the surface just because they share the same territories?" They look really puzzled by your readiness to kill.

As Viktor is about to step in, the mongrelfolk stop him. "Wait, let me see first." He rounds the corner, hugging the wall. After a few seconds, you can hear his voice again. "What happened here?" Then he speak louder. "You can come, it would seem other surface dweller got here first"

The group moves forwards into the cavern. The tunnel opens into a circular cavern, roughly forty feet in diameter. Thick sheets of fungus grow in the cave, and several tunnels branch off. All of these save one in the north wall lead downward; the northern one leads upward. What appear to be two dead bodies lie on the ground in the middle of the cave, next to a strange heap of ropy green fungus.


Female Human Pistolero Gunslinger (Level 1) / HP 11 / AC 17 / T 13 / FF 14 / Fort +3 / Ref +5 / Will +4 / Perception +8 / Survival +8 / Initiative +3

"I only mentioned killing it if it was to attack us, not hunting it down..." Aleria looks taken aback and frowns at the mongrelmen.


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

"Ah, forgive us! We mistook you to mean that it would aggressively hunt us." Although you're not far off. Viktor steps into the room with a frown. "Indeed. Let us keep moving than."


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bakji tilted his head at the others "I meant to hunt it, they perceived my intention though not my intent. I merely offered if it was a problem and a danger to their kin I would slay it for them." he said somewhat flatly.


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"On the surface, most things that eat meat attack settlements or livestock. So we do have to drive them out, or kill them if we wish to survive." Iona explained. "Though if we can run past this one there would be no need for a fight."

Iona moved in and knelt next to one of the dead bodies.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16


Anevia puts a hand on Bakji shoulder. "I think this might be a case of cultural misunderstanding. We might all be speaking common, but their isolation might have changed the meaning of some words and expressions. Though the problem seems to have solves itself." She gives a friendly smile at Bakji and walks into the cavern.

Iona moves to one of the corpses. She inspects it, but doesn't see anything odd. Looking for what killed him, however turns out scary results. It would seem that the plant infected the man with spore, which in turn took root in is skin. Especially in his airways. You can barely imagine the pain this man most have suffered as the spores were clogging his lungs...


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"It would see we won't have any issues." Iona said as she looked to the others. "It seems that they where killed by some form of plant. Is that what you meant before?" She asked the mongrelfolk. "How many surface dwellers have been down here outside of us?" She asked.


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bakji walks up to the group after feeling that he has adequately scouted the area for any encroaching enemies and looks down at the two dead bodies briefly before looking back up around around the room once more.

His fingers laying reflexively upon the bow string.


Hearing Iona's comment, Lann, one of the Mongrelmen, moves closer to the corpse. He looks at it and then back at Iona. "That would be the basidirond. When you get too close to it, it releases spores that can kill you. Once the person is dead, the basidirond move over the corpse and drain the blood to get to the minerals. They should have tried to outrun it. It's not the type of creature to pursue for long." As Iona asks her second question, he thinks for a while. "Other surface dwellers? Well, there is that woman that took over a smaller tribe south of Neathholm. We didn't much of them since they stay away from us."

Anevia get closer to the bodies. "I'm sorry to say this, but we should gather whatever useful gear they have. Then, maybe we could try to bury them somehow." She doesn't look too happy about the idea, but you can see the resolve in her eyes.


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"You're correct Anevia." Iona said with a nod. "Bakji, would you help me with seeing what they have?" She asked

With that she began to look through the things that the corpses had on them before they died.


Iona and Bakji start going through the gear of the two dead crusader. They are both wearing the regular chainmail with symbols of Iomedae. In their backpacks you find three days of ration each, a waterskin, a roll of fifty feet of ropes and one grappling hook. Instead of longswords, the usual weapon for crusaders, they had glaives and spiked gauntlets. One of them was carrying a potion and the other had a scroll. You also find in one of the man's fist a small symbol of a brass bull’s head with tiny red gemstone eyes. You also find a total of 129 gold pieces.


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bakji picks up one of the glaives and looks around at the others "You alright with me carrying this one?" he asked before passing out the other glaive to their blind companion as an improvised cane for the time being.


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"They won't be needing it now." Iona said softly before she picked up the small symbol of a brass bull's head. "What is this?" She wondered as she looked it over. "It must have been very important if he died grasping it."

Edit:Oh yeah... guess that would be a good idea! XD
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bkaji leaned in closely for a second and gave it a look with his white eyes. Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18


Bakji grabs the weapon and brings one over to Aravashnial. "Thank you, that will help me be a bit more independent." He starts testing it. The noise of the weapon, knocking the stone resonates throughout the cavern. After a few steps, he stops. "Well, I won't be able to sneak up on anyone, but while we are in a safe area, I'll be able to move by myself." He smiles, but you can still see the sadness on his face.

Iona, Bakji:
That look like an unholy symbol of Baphomet. A weird find on a crusader of Iomedae. Also, as you look at the weapon that Bakji is holding, you realise that the Glaive is Baphomet's favored weapon.


Male Human Paladin (Sacred Shield) 1| hp 12/12 | AC 20 T 11 FF 19 | CMD 16 | F +5 R +1 W +3 (+2 vs cold environment) | Init +1 | Perception +1

Viktor keeps watch while the area is checked. "Anything of interest?" He calls out.


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

Iona gasped as she quickly dropped the bull's head. "Infiltraters!" She said as she stood. "He died with it in his hand because he was trying to cast from it!" She told the group as she looked to them. "The walked right in! Wearing our colors! Our faiths!" Iona said as she began to pace a bit. "We call from within..." Her voice cracked a bit with saddness, though she was doing her best to hide it.


Inquisitor (Sanctified Slayer) 3| hp 1/21 | AC18 T13 FF 15 | CMD 16 | F +4 R +4 W +7 | Spd 20' | Init +9 | Perception +10

Bakji rests a hand on Iona's shoulder. "They paid the price of treachery in the end...we shall do well to remember this, that even amongst our own darkness can live. We shall inform the heads of the church upon our return to the surface." he offered as what he felt may be the best worms of comfort he could think of.

Bakji called back out "A few weapons, a potion, a scroll, a bit of money, and some supplies for the road." he said before looking around to the others. "Let's split up the weight and move along." he said ready to continue.


You hear Aravashnial getting closer, using the weapon staff to help him navigate. "What did you find? What is this about infiltrators and treachery?" He looks paler than usual, like you just confirmed something he was afraid of.


Cleric(Mendevian Priest) 7/Holy Vindicator 5 | hp 132/145 | AC35 T17 FF 34 | CMD 26 | F +9 R +6 W +14 | Spd 40' | Init +5 | Perception +13

"Worshipers of Baphomet." Iona told him with a slight hiss. "They walked right in, dressed as those who worship Iomedae..." She told him with a sad sigh. "Who knows how long they've been here..."

She set her hand upon the blind elf's shoulder. "You don't look well... Do you need to rest?" She asked, her voice changing to a soft tone.
