Beneath Hightower Tor
General Summary
The Cerulean Exploration Society, having set up headquarters in the city of Cerulea Maxima began their task of mapping the island for their mysterious benefactor. Returning from mapping an area to the east of the city, a group of the Cerulean Exploration Society including Orilo Vaimei-Laga, Cohis Harr, Nedda Swiftwhistle, Roondar Fiddlefen, Osah Kellordrai and Bree Strongbones took shelter from a powerful storm in the chambers beneath Hightower Tor. Their shelter, however, may have proven as dangerous as the storm itself. Upon investigating the large entrance chamber, they were accosted by a group of rabid rats who proved troublesome to the group to deal with.
Exploring the rest of the complex, they found first a chamber with a statue dedicated to both Mottuna and Zadkush which turned out to be the nest of two Vargouille. Dealing with the creatures, the party were able to recover a Translator's Ring from their nest. Delving deeper into the Tor, the party set off a poison needle trap on a chest, but no-one was seriously hurt and the chest was found to contain another artifact - a Headband of the Stout Heart.
With the storm continuing to rage outside, the party pushed further into the complex, finally stumbling upon the burial chamber of a long dead knight . Or more precisely an undead knight who was not best pleased at his resting place being disturbed. In the ensuing combat, Orilo was killed and became the first member of the Cerulean Exploration Society to fall, providing a harsh lesson to the Cerulean Exploration Society - Cerulea is a dangerous place.
