The Dwarven Wedding Session 17
Session #17 of The Dwarven Wedding.
Date: June 4th, 2017
Character Level: 6th
Summary
The path leads them to an archway that reads "The Dark Road." Hadarri figures that this used to say "The Torunn Road" but it had been sanded down and re-written. Our heroes cautiously push their way through and discover an empty room, something that had once held a large amount of treasure, armor, and weapons, but had been cleared out.
Following the trail of gold pieces, they find a room with a few small supply rooms where it seems a fight had happened a long time ago. Two dead bodies in one room (burned and rotted bones), and another discovered by Luana, burned as well. Remnant picks up a sword, something later identified by Hadarri as a magical sword1.
They continue through the rooms and halls of this area and happen upon a torture room of sorts with a spike pit, a pedestal with the words "Spawnling" and "A Child of Darkness" written in Undercommon and Draconic respectively. Remnant realizes that in draconic, there is also an arrow pointing to a hidden crawl space near the ceiling of the wall. He climbs up to find a magically suspended block of stone that, after 5 or so feet, stops and cannot be budged. Hadarri and Hard find the remains of a few bodies in a small path off of this room, but they ultimately move on.
In the next room, the group surprises a group of Drow in the middle of a ritual. They fight and are victorious, curious to know why or how the Drow were so close to Thain-win. They investigate the rest of the room after a short rest and move on into the next room (unable to go north from the room they are in) to the south, only to find two Cyclops taking a nap!
Notes
1 - The sword has an ornate hilt with the words "FOR HONOR" written in Dwarven and a blade with an intricate design of ivy with flowers of rubies. The sword must be attuned to by a Good-aligned character before being used for any magical gain--1d6 fire damage once per day if the sword "likes you" and you know its name.
