Off to see the Trolls
General Summary
After leaving Blood Wood the party decide to head to the Scytha Mountains, they hope that the Troll clans there will be able to lift the curse Ragnaros is under.
They enter the treacherous mountain passes after a couple of days of travel, a day or so into the assent the weather gets worse, battling through wind and snow across a narrow pass, Astra slips almost falling to her death but is caught at the last minute by Ragnaros. They hear wolves in the distance and attempt to navigate away from them, they manage to avoid the wolves and find their way to a Troll settlement belonging to the Shadow Mountain Tribe.
At the Troll settlement they meet with Shaman Keizia, Ramoz and Xogun. There is much drinking and headbutting, Ramoz berates Ragnaros for getting cursed, Hauflin having been given a drink bigger than he is gets a little drunk and decides to join in the head butting by turning into a boar.
Keizia reveals that there is a way to lift the curse, the must enter The Cave of Trials, defeat the traps, the monster and return with the eyes of the basilisk. With the eyes Keizia will be able to lift the curse. Hauflin objects to killing some innocent creature and carving out it's eyes just to lift a curse, he thinks that they should be looking for another way.
The next morning with somewhat heavy heads the party, minus Hauflin who is still objecting, head into the cave of trials.
Inside they find a chamber with a stone door, there is a handle on the door but when it is pulled the door doesn't budge, Astra discovers that the door has been welded to the floor by elemental magic, knowing Hauflin can summon elementals the party head back out to confront him, but seems completely ignorant. Scratching their heads the party head back inside and Astra summons an elemental to remove the door.
With the door open they find a short corridor leading into another room, there is a Metal door on the far wall, investigating the room and the door, Ragnaros finds another tunnel that looks like it broke through the rooms wall, Astra and Giltris find a plaque on the door, they investigate the plaque Astra is unable to translate it but Giltris works out that one of the runes on it has been pressed more often, so she pushes it, the door opens revealing another short corridor, they yell at Ragnaros to follow and head through the door.
Once the party are in the next room the door swings shut behind them and they start hearing gas hissing into the room, rushing over to the next door they find a clock in the centre that seems to be ticking down, Giltris decides to try stopping it, unfortunately the hissing continues, they all start frantically looking around, finding several grates in the floor, Giltris removes her stop on the clock while Astra starts shoving bedrolls and blankets into the gratings, eventually the party gasping for breath stumble out of the room when the clock finishes ticking down opening the door.
