The Confirmation Table 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Hans nods.

"Agreed. That sounds like an eminently suitable suggestion."

You go back into the cave, Janira stays with the gillman pilgrim and talks to him. You continue to the tunnel on the other side of the main chamber, after a few narrow and wider passages you come to another room.

The persistent glow of the bluish fungi dimly lights the way deeper below the Kortos Mounts. The tunnels broaden to reveal a shallow river that bisects an immense tunnel stretching to the north and south. To the east a small passage exits the chamber at a steep incline.

Within the room, the dim light fades into darkness to the north and the south. The cavern stretches nearly 100 feet in each direction, but is otherwise unremarkable save for the inlet and outlet of the ancient river responsible for creating this chamber and most of the surrounding tunnels over the centuries. The river through this part of the cavern ranges from 10 to 15 feet wide but is only 1 foot deep, and it flows languidly at an almost imperceptibly slow speed. The room is empty.

Jenya casts a quick glance around. Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

If she sees nothing she'll say Looks empty, let's see what's in that tunnel going east

Reginald checks whether the path East looks stable. Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7.

Once satisfied that the river chamber is menace-free, Hans moves on to explore the tunnel to the East...

Valandil takes out his map and adds in the caverns and the stream.

"Do you think we need to try following that stream at all? I confess I have not really come equipped for such a venture."

The "holes" in the walls where the river comes from and goes through are to small to be discovered.

Jenya follows Hans up the Eastern tunnels. Upon finding themselves back in the same place they had cone to via the western ones she turns to the group and says. I think we've cleared the place out. Let's get back to Janira and let her know.

The Elf nods. "Let us return to the Gillman and our guide, and then to Absalom. Between the old glyphs, the Arodeanian rituals that still hold power, the Gillmen and their pure water, and the Dhampir necromancer - no to mention raiding Minotaurs I feel there is a whole slew of scholarly articles that can be written about this place."

Kiyoshi nods in agreement.

"Indeed, we have learnt much today and been blessed to emerge unscathed."

"Then our mission is accomplished!" Reginald stands proud and grins widely.

You return to Janira. The gilman pilgrim left already. "Have you finished your explorations? If so, I'm ready to return to Keighton Shaine whenever you like."

Yeah I think we're done. Hopefully the gillmen won't be bothered any more.

"Indeed! We will need to write-up a proper, formal report, but I think that the notes we have taken, and the deeds that we have accomplished, speak for themselves."

"Indeed. Let us return to civilisation."

"The Master of Scrolls should be pleased. Let's go!"

They journey back to Absalom is quiet and without incidents. You arrive at at the meeting point in the late evening. "Welcome back recruits. Tell me, what did you find out about the gillmen?" Keighton Shaine says.

The gillmen are pilgrims Jenya begins Visiting a spring of pure water in the cave that they think sacred

"The cave is also an old shrine to Aroden - the walls depict rituals sacred to his various aspects, some of which are still legible, and retain a spark of their old power."

"We also discovered minotaurs in the forest and a necromancer preying on the gillmen pilgrims" adds in Valendil.

He takes out his note book and shows some of the glyphs sketeched.

"Perhaps most interesting was the shrine to Aroden. Not just that the rituals are still powerful (and what does that say about the 'death' of Aroden) but that the writings differ slightly from contempary texts."

"The shrine to Aroden was amazing - it was a miniature replica of Absalom itself"

The nercomancer was a dhampir who was killed by his own creations. We destroyed them so the gillmen should be safe

"Indeed, it seems some of Arodens power still lingers, which speaks much of the divine spirit. Now gillmen seem to use the caves for a place of contemplation."

Kiyoshi steps forward and offers his notes and basic maps to Master Shaine.

"Necromants and minotaurs? That's not a good sign. But old symbols and texts about Aroden and old rituals which are still powerfull is very interesting, also the srine to Aroden, representing a miniature replica of Absalom. A cave, holy to the early followers of Aroden, now holy to the gillmen. Very, very interesting." Master Shaine says. "Thank you for your effort, you did a very good Confirmation. You are real Pathfinders now." with These words he hands over a Wayfinder to everybody of you. "The last Thing I want to ask of you is a map scroll of the cave and reports of your discoveries for our Society Archives. But you can do this whenever you like. For now, have a drink or two and some food."

Keighton Shaine jumps up and leaves without any further words, just like in the first meeting.

The Scenario ends here, but please feel free to do some further roleplaying if you like :)
