Log
Cyrus, Hiromi, Raijin, and I pass through the anchor ooze and return to Tilfel. The weather is just as nice as I remember. We begin traveling Northwest trying to find the caverns we were informed of by Norzti.
Hiromi discovers three thing pillars made from metal rods staked near a small river. The pillar nearest the water has a spirit attached to it. This is a grave marker. Hiromi offers a prayer and we move on.
Soon after, Cyrus stumbles across another of the pesky unclaimed dead that we've fought before. Fortunately, it was unable to strike any of us but myself before we could lay it to rest.
A few hours later, we find the cave entrance. We rest for the night before venturing in. Exploring the cave takes quite a bit of time. We eventually come across a bridge sized to fit giants. We navigate further. We find a tunnel that seems to be blocked by a massive arm.
The arm belongs to a cyclops named Bo, who was stuck. With some liberal application of oil, the arm is freed. We befriend Bo and he leads us to his home. Bo does not like the lizard men, which we soon learn means kobold.
There is a miasma covering the floor of Bo's home, not enough to bother the cyclops, but enough that we will be within it if we enter the room. Bo has a wonderful idea and runs off, returning with a small boat that he uses to carry us above the miasma. He's happy to help out, though he does ask to pet Hiromi in exchange for his help. We are shown around the cavern and the former chieftain's map, along with his treasure, is shared with us.
We part ways with Bo. If you pass through the cavern, carry a symbol of Grandmother. Bo has been told that those who carry her imagery will be friends. Please be nice to Bo. He's been nothing but kind so far. Unfortunately, we were unable to stay for dinner (though I did promise him we would try to do so later once the mess was cleaned up). We return to the main cave and begin to push our way forward, following the directions given on the cyclops map.
We cross a bridge and are met by the massive remains of a dragon. We camp inside the creature's skull for the night.
