Great Worm Cavern

Interior: The interior walls of the cave is covered with an reflective glaze and lined with massive glass icicles that gleam and glitter in reflected light. The walls are too slippery to be climbed without gear or magic. The cavern floor is a sheet of slippery glass flanked by 70-foot-high ledges of rock, atop which stand two totem poles of chiseled rock with carvings that resemble winged snakes. The walls of these ledges are riddled with caves which look lived in. Natural steam vents in the rock keep the caves warm. Above the ledges, dug into the cavern walls, are narrow crypts where the honored dead are placed, their frozen corpses propped up in a standing position.   Altar Rising from the back of the cavern is a triangular promontory of solid rock, 120 feet above the cavern floor at its peak. Thereupon stands an altar of black stone, carved in the shape of a coiled serpent with great wings. Religion DC 12-   Bound inside the altar is a couatl name Elrem.

Hrok takes off returning to his beloved Moog.    Ancient Relic At the back of the cave hangs a relic of giantkind: a crescent-shaped gong in a crude stone frame. The gong, a circular disk 13 feet in diameter, was once the shield of a frost giant champion, but it was broken in combat and is now missing a large piece. What remains of it weighs 250 pounds. The shield is made of red dragon scales bolted to a beaten copper frame. Its leather arm straps are long gone.    Drexel struck the gong and released Wormling. After dispatching them the group finds three 500 gp gemstones, fifteen 100 gp gemstones, and a necklace of fireballs with 4 globes.
