What Lies Beneath 6 - Southern Scouting

 

Objective

Go south and investigate the activities of the necromancers
 
 

Observations

Um hello reader, I am Teddie. Lots of things to keep in mind if you go to Underdark.
 
 
  First of all, if friends see people with glowing crystals in chest, do not use magic on them. No magic weapons, no spells, nothing magic. If they die to magic they will explode in magic. No idea what explosion will do but each effect has been bad. One person got lightning, Teddie and Big Orc Fighter got infected with crystal too, Luminos was paralyzed, lots of bad things. DO NOT USE MAGIC ON CRYSTAL PEOPLE.
 
 
  When first get to Underdark entrance on surface, snow might be covering it. Bring shovel to help dig the snow out of way. Entrance is one hour west from southern outpost.
 
 
  Luminos has marked the path. Luminos etched arrow to mark the main tunnel from entrance to real travel intersection. Travel downward in tunnel, will come to intersection with three paths; left path, right path, and ceiling path. Left and ceiling path go southwest-ish, right path goes north-ish.
 
 
  Do not go down right path unless learn something else. Is a three hour path that only lead to shaft that goes down very far. Like further than Tide could take Owly. Shaft is direct shot down without incline, so do not take unless have way to fall without getting hurt.
 
 
  Did not look at ceiling path. Maybe look if no leads.
 
 
  Left path is 2 hours long, used likely by necromancers. Look for glittery dust like shinies in sand. At end of left path is another intersection, with several different paths to take. Luminos marked which path to take with another arrow.
 
 
  Going down path, found ourselves on path with upward shaft and big hole in floor. Did not go up or down. There is path that goes around hole, three feet wide, easy for Teddie and not hard for Teddie's friends.
 

Follow up

Keep following path that Teddie and friends marked out.

Operation Details

When Teddie and friends followed path, found four humans. They were weird, did not respond do anything until fighting started. Before Teddie and friends fought them, they were putting small crystals onto a big crystal in a bowl in a statute's hands. Crystal in bowl got bigger as more crystals were added.
 
 
  Four people eventually summoned giant fire demon that tried to attack each of them, but then disappeared. Teddie and Kardan were too hurt to continue looking. Eloise and Luminos looked into tunnel a little bit, but things got wild before Teddie and friends could investigate further. Eloise found an empty sleeping bag, and an altar with lots of blood on it.
