Part 1: A Breakthrough Discovery

Myths and legends aren't often just that. The old woman down the road claims "she was there when it happened" and your cousin knows the guy who knows the guy, but there's never hard proof of the event. Sometimes it takes a little digging, and sometimes the research team needs supplies delivered and hires a bunch of adventurers to do so.

8:30p - Spiders!

9:00p - The PCs continue further into the cave systems, passing some old camps, lost supplies, and other signs of life. Eventually they are stopped by a guards' outpost before being led into the City of Olisreach.

9:30p - The guards help bring the researchers back to the city as well, and the PCs are introduced to The Olisreach Council who then explain how they, too, fell through the earth one day and cannot find a way back out.

Past Events

Over 100yrs ago, a great earthquake opened up the ground beneath the small city of Olisreach, sending many of its citizens into the darkness below. They wandered through the caves for days, eventually giving up and deciding to settle on the edge of a large cavern filled with water. A few years after they began to build back up, their King became sick, his death causing the city to fall into a deep, leaderless depression which lasted most of the century.
