Combat Success!

Once they have defeated the spirits, the group can press on to explore other areas. They finds some areas empty but one of them has something interesting to explore. In this room, stone shelves built into the walls here store books, ledgers, and other documents. A desk with an oil lamp provides space for a solitary researcher to investigate the materials.

Anyone who speaks Dwarven and spends 1 hour collecting the documents in this room:
You uncover a picture of the calamity that affected the city. Several ledgers remain that show bustling trade in both Raseri Kanton and Jernashall prior to 3980 ar. Diaries speak of a wellfunctioning, thriving society with little mention of unrest until a volcano erupted and forced the inhabitants to flee. If anyone succeeds at an additional DC 13 Academia Lore, Dwarven Lore, Library Lore or other relevant Lore check to Recall Knowledge or a DC 15 Society check to Recall Knowledge while filing these documents,
Spoiler:
they learn the information about the eruption and subsequent decline of Tar Khadurrm. (See next spoiler)

Spoiler from successful check from the spoilered spoiler above:
In 3980 ar, the volcano Torag’s Crag erupted in a sudden, cataclysmic event that came to be known as the Rending. The volcano had begun to show signs of impending eruption in the early 3900s, but the dwarven kingdom of Tar Khadurrm around and under the mountain ignored the warning. Tar Khardurrm’s underground capital city Jernashall was overwhelmed by magma flows, and its sister city of Raseri Kanton, on the surface, was destroyed when it fell into the open earth. This led to a great decline for Tar Khadurrm, which descended into bickering and fractured alliances until it finally collapsed almost 500 years later.

The dwarves of the Five Kings Mountains would go on to rename the mountain Droskar’s Crag, after the reviled god of cheating and endless toil. Over the following centuries, the caverns beneath became home to exiles and wandering monsters, and the mountain picked up another ominous name: the Pallid Peak.

"Catastrophic eruption.. Underground capital destroyed by magma. Raseri Kanton was above-ground, but that was the problem--it collapsed into the open earth after the eruption. The kingdom survived but fractured into factions and went into major decline... they survived for centuries before finally collapsing, but then dwarves can live quite a long time."

Venture-Captain, Online PBP

Venture-Captain Luna Aldred addressed the gathered Pathfinder agents.

”With everyone’s work, we’ve uncovered two new areas in the ruins. One route follows an old caravan route through the mountain, while the other goes through an abandoned temple. Choose whichever route you prefer, but keep your eyes peeled, as we’re getting closer to Raseri Kanton. However, the Aspis Consortium is closing in. We’ll return to the ruins tomorrow and beat those snakes to the city. Rest up tonight and prepare for a long day tomorrow.”

Table GMs, begin Act 2.

These naturally occurring caves served as a main path out of the once-vibrant city of Raseri Kanton. Since using the Temple Route was considered sacrilegious to orthodox dwarves, this route provided an alternative path away from the city.

Unless otherwise stated, this area has no illumination, and the ceiling is 10 feet high. The tunnels are natural stone caverns. Kindly state how are you able to see if you do not have darkvision.

At the entrance, something has drained the color and lichen from the stone here, leaving it smooth to the touch. Finely crumbled mineral deposits cover this room with dust. With the sizable amount left undisturbed, it’s clear that this area has been abandoned for years.

The damage to the stone in this chamber came from the oozes as they leached minerals out of the stone.

Whistle Wit never bothered to learn a spell for creating light. At home in the library she has lamps, and as a Pathfinder agents she had her wayfinder--so she lights her wayfinder.

She flutters a little closer (because her wayfinder's light only goes so far), with Whisper hurrying to keep up. Once she can see the oozes more clearly, she lashes out at them with winds.

The athamaru saw how hard the slimy (Black) chum monster hit Cur. Even with Whistle’s heal, Cur is still in a tricky spot. The athamaru Unleashes its Psyche once more but, instead of becoming concealed, it subtly transmits an Amped Message to Cur. ”Cur, retreat to Giles and Koi! Let it come to us!”

Cur can Stride or Step as a reaction during Koi’s turn.

Magic then ripples and splutters from biceps to speartip as Koi casts ◆◆Phase Bolt again at the slimy pile of chum.

Phase Bolt v Black AC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 for piercing damage: 3d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 2 = 6

The athamaru, weary from ordering the aiuvarin around, refocuses by subtly Messaging words to itself. It translates all of the Xidaoan sea shanties it knows into six different languages. The permutations take about ten minutes - it is only one shanty, but it's a goodie.

Into the next area, the temperature takes an immediate drop in this chamber, casting a chill on any exposed flesh. Strange fuzz covers rocky surfaces. Lumps covered in this strange layer rise from the floor, each about the size of an adventurer’s pack.

Before they can enter, High and Cur warn the other Pathfinders of the sudden temperature drop before they enter and finds some molds covering the whole area that might be responsible for it.
