Return to Gorachenya:

by André Pelnar

2 Jestani
Gash goes to settle us in to the accommodation the guard set up for us. We decide to investigate the market area that Boris was sent to. On our way to the market, Hesior scopes out access into the city's sewer system, and Riven sees a door off one of the landings of the stairway, identifying it as access to the sewer. It's just after midday, and the markets are busy with the selling of bread and vodka. The entire market is on a gentle slope, with five different entrances in five different direction. Further down the slope, where it is more open, it looks less carved. We decide to wait for things to clear out, and we stake out a spot at another of the many open cafés/bar countertops that dot Gorachenyan cities. A helpful baker informs me that she and the others did not

We notice a path (or really a natural cave), an I set an alarm (audible only to me) at the less finished end of the slope, however we find nothing of note on the ground. Before leaving, I cast detect magic and notice faint footprints going around the edge of the market, and heading to the natural cave. Investigating the footprints further, I have a sense that these are the footprints of fiends. We follow them into the natural cave, riven making Hesior's sword light. Riven and I are careful to stay outside of the light radius, ahead of Hesior. We reach three paths, one that a Dwarf could handle but not us, and then two paths of equal size, one going straight ahead and the other going down. While I use sending to inform Syvanta of our whereabouts and status, Hesior uses one of his echoes to investigate the narrow hole.

Hesior's echo discovers that the narrow hole opens up considerably, up to three times the size of the current cavern. While my second ritual casting of detect magic didn't produce footprints, it does indicate that they didn't go down the one that leads downward. Hesior & Riven get stuck in the narrow hole, but I made it through, and I'm able to help them. We make our way into the open cave, which gradually goes downward, before we reach a drop and a massive cavern with five entrances.

Using my 50ft of silk rope, I tie the rope to a nearby sturdy rock. Riven flies down, Hesior loses his grip and falls, but switches into another echo. Almost immediately as our feet land on the ground and we get up, two shadowy figures are banished by Riven. Upon investigating the are, I find dig and claw marks. Riven warns us that they might be back if they are native to this plane, so I begin to cast magic circle.
