Back after our light digression with our Halloween Zine, this week follows on from the adventure that takes place in Kalehgrul. This week our party follow (or are part of) the Silken Path. Captured or following along the Drider raiders the party head deeper towards Duraegis and, the deep Dark. This will be the second last part of this underdark adventure so let’s sit back grab a coffee and let’s roll into this weeks adventure!
The Silken Path
344MoTSiPa
The driders and ettercaps were not hard to track. The creatures lay great paths of webs as they moved back through the hidden tunnels below Kalehgrul. Their prisoners, the first wave of residents bound in webs and occasionally, feasted upon by the monstrosities that held them captive. The silk itself was strong, light and durable. Those entangled by it would not be able to break out in a hurry and with the venom that the ettercaps injected into the strongest of the prisoners there was no hope of escape.
And in the dark tunnels where no light could be seen from even glowing mushrooms or other flora and fauna there was no hope of a rescue. Along the way those that the abominations deemed too sick, frail or weak were left bound along the path to die surrounded by their silken bonds. Lost amongst the dark, cold and at mercy to be preyed upon by what other nightmares haunted these tunnels.
The path led on for days of travel. The party had met some of the other residents of the tunnels but they fled when the true power of the party was revealed. Although the tunnels were bare from game or really edible material there were supplies and goods that had been with those taken from Kalehgrul that the party were able to find along the way. However by the Third day of travel the amount of webs on the ceiling, walls and floor of the tunnel decreased and a draft could be felt coming from up ahead.
As the party continued down the passageway the source of the draft was revealed. A large orb-like Cavern filled with webs and cocoons, and in the centre lay a inky-black pit. Something that seemed to drink in all light. The deep dark lay waiting before them.
Another few days in the underdark but this time chasing spiders to… something potentially worse. Don’t forget to come back each day this week so you can stay up to date on how this adventure turns out and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
