Kythorn 15: Investigate Cave with Devils

General Summary

Adpetor, Dimble, Gulch and Wissum go to Caerbarum and ask for more details. Clouds start coming in and it seems like a storm is rolling in. We ask a guard for more details and investigate the cave where the wolves came out from before. We get an uneasy sense about things. We find drag marks and decide to follow them. Drunk kobold does amazing flips and hops following the tracks. We find a torn black cloth with a symbol in it. It seems kinda familiar for Adaptor. We go up a switchback and find a guy in black armour cut off silver armour guy ‘s head and is guarding a bridge over a ravine not letting people pass. Wissum runs and jumps across the ravine and everyone follows. We continue on the path...it seems tiring for some companions. The path opens on a flat plateau and a cave in the clearing above. We head into the cave and notice caveman drawings. We head to the back and we get to a carved out door that has written inscriptions. It is a riddle that says “I am not alive but I grow. I dont have a lung but I need air. I dont have a mouth but water kills me.” Wissum says clearly it's a balloon. Meanwhile Dimble lights a brazier with fire and a door opens and we fight black cloaks people with scimitars. As they start dieing, they have glowing necklaces and become blobs melting away. The well leathered cultist strikes Wissum down after taking a heavy beating. The rest of the party takes down the leade. Adpetor finds Wissum daed. Afterwards, they take out the rest of the blobs. Dimble looks into the pit and notices mangled animals that have been mutilated. The party picks up necklaces off the dead blob bodies and a box. The party moves close to a door on the otherside. Hearing a voice screaming in agony in the room beyond as blood comes gushing out the door, there is chanting coming in a language that no one recognizes. The party feels scared and this uneasy feeling comes from the other room. The voice on the otherside is sounding happy and the party runs terrified grabbing the dead body on the way out. A minute later, a very bad feeling is felt by everyone like something powerful and bad just happened.
After making a way down the path and jumping over the ravine again, they loot a dead body and start heading back to the lumberjack camp. And making their way back to New Gambit.
