#### Events
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- I attempt to negotiate with Slit, a representative of the Court of Worms.
|
||
|
|
- The court demanded an offering of corpses.
|
||
|
|
- A further demand was that the army would have safe passage, but 1 in every 10 would be taken by the Court.
|
||
|
|
- Both of these demands were unacceptable.
|
||
|
|
- Stackor updates Colonel Syrup, who orders us to clear out the Court
|
||
|
|
- We explore the lower tunnels, and kill some of the fey.
|
||
|
|
- We find a door obviously sized for a giant, closing on pathway of the tunnel. We leave it closed.
|
||
|
|
- Going the other way, we find a trap door. We leave it closed.
|
||
|
|
- Stackor returns to camp, to update Colonel Syrup. He orders up to investigate further into the tunnels.
|
||
|
|
- We approach the giant door first
|
||
|
|
- Opening it with *Knock*, we discover the drill bit used to create the top-most bore tunnel. It is made of an odd metal we've never seen before.
|
||
|
|
- There is also an armor giant. A giant armor. A suit of rune-laden armor for a giant. It's magical.
|
||
|
|
- We approach the trapdoor next.
|
||
|
|
- After some effort, and Jen creating a pull ring, we open the trap door. There's a huge-sized ladder into the depths. We take our time and descend.
|
||
|
|
- At the bottom is what appears to be a human-sized skeleton. It does not smell of piss. We are in a smooth-stoned tunnel, bored from the bit we found in the giant room.
|
||
|
|
- Traveling forward, we find a doorway on the left. Investigating further, we find a square room with a "big ol' metal thing" with a canvas tube going into the rear wall. Two fey were hiding, that teleported away when we found them.
|
||
|
|
- The "big ol' metal thing" is full of wires and gears, clearly broken down, panels and such.
|
||
|
|
- We hear moaning from the hallway, from something larger than previously known
