Session 26: The Cave

NPC's
Metis, Amalesca

Location
Unnamed mountain

Summary
The party somehow find Oliver over the pot and push it over, allowing Oliver down. They follow the wisp through the door and through a tunnel, ending up at a large treasure room, which is filled with gargoyles.

Alastor sneaks down after the wisp. It dives into gold, and he follows. He somehow comes out on the other side, a gigantic, dark cavern, with gold flowing overhead. He keeps following the wisp, ending up at a large mass of metal plates, which are actually dragon scales. The others are caught by a few gargoyles. Which they quickly fight off.


 * Alastor comes upon a rock pedestal with the life stone and takes it. The gold begins to stir as gargoyles’ eyes glow red. Everyone books it as the gargoyles chase Alastor.
 * Alastor, Oliver, Cryllos, and Shade find a branch and go up the right one, only to see many more branching tunnels. They run into a small tunnel, which the gargoyles are too large to enter. The other side has too many large spiderwebs to be safe. As the party tries to run to the other hallway, the stone ends up in the gargoyles’ hands, and then a scuffle occurs.
 * Noname follows behind the carnage, hears a child’s scream from the left branch. She sees the exit, and cells, where the child she saw beforehand is. She introduces herself as Metis and tells Noname that the life stone keeps the gargoyles alive. Noname and Metis walk into an entrance to a cave of spiders.

Oliver is also there and rickrolls them, bringing a horde of spider, who immediately begins to fight the gargoyles. Shade grabs the stone, and the party once again books it. They all manage to exit the cave as its entrance shuts and the mountain shudders. The few gargoyles on their tail lose the glow in their eyes and fall. Noname talks to Metis, only to realize that only she can see and hear her. Metis disappears, and the party returns to the village. There, an elder says that a friend visited. The party looks to see a golden person, who prepares to stab Cryllos.
