2021/11/10: Darkhome Sidestories Report
General Summary
Resolving some outstanding minor threats and situations around Darkhome.
Hornet, the Hollow Knight, Oro, and Mato are hunting a behir that ate a Great Sentry.
They ran into the corpse of a beholder. It was in Darkhome territory and seemed to have set up a little beholder cave. The corpse was desiccated; either the water or the life force was drained from it by something. The corpse was just outside the lair, possibly in the process of confronting the killer. There were no signs of combat.
There was a single human-sized humanoid (light on their feet) with a large sweepy cape who had been in the lair. They had been moving in a hunched-over fashion. Think a 6’6” Gollum with a cloak.
The group fell in a cave collapse. The cavern they fell into was full of poisonous gas. They got out, with Hornet helping Mato a bit, but they took some damage.
They found a weird sign with weird symbols in a crossroads. They aren’t sure what the symbols mean, but Mato made a copy.
The sign is in undercommon, salamander, and deep dwarf. It’s for navigation, and points to a few territories. The deep dwarf territory is Averigor's. The salamander territory is the Fire Pool Alliance, or just Fire Pool. It also points out a couple of drow cities: Quirespire, Hellweb.
The Alvidarians and the dwarves have not heard of any of these settlements. They say salamanders are elemental creatures that would probably be hostile.
They came across a large cave full of weird wheat-like fungus. While picking their way through, they were attacked by a being in golden armor. The Hollow Knight owned that encounter, and the being disintegrated when defeated. It left behind its full suit of golden full plate and a golden sword. The helmet is notable for providing full face coverage.
The group found and killed the behir, with the Hollow Knight once again being the prime contributor. There’s little in the way of treasure, but they found a pair of eggs that may belong to the behir. They also took some of the behir’s scales and fangs.
While returning, the group ran into a force of 28 drow. The drow decided to slip out through a side passage rather than confronting the group.
The hunting trip lasted from August 9th to August 12th, 23 ARL.
