2021-05-08: Water From the Pit

General Summary

The party continued its exploration of the deeper level in the pit. They found the smooth rock-cut hallways from the previous ritual room went deeper underground, only to find some of the hallway and rooms appeared to have been cut by a cavern. This cavern had a small waterfall from a crevice above and, according to the companions, had something underneath the water. The party snuck past the waterfall into this cavern and found the velocidrome that they previously wounded. With a sound handaxe throw and some spell slinging, the party defeated the velocidrome and lured its four velociprey out. The sounds of battle alerted the nearbly tetsucabra, who erupted from underneath the earth and flanked the party.
The battle was fierce and used most of the party's limited resources. However, with precise teamwork and division of responsibilities, the party felled the velocidrome and repelled the tetsucabra. Exhausted, they returned to the researchers and reported their findings before following the route back to the main camp.
At the main camp, the party stayed for about 14 days, training and refining their skills for the dangers ahead. The party reached level 4, and prepared for another voyage out into the world.
