Another travelling adventure this week but this one has a bit more treasure involved, however the party won’t ever be able to get rid of that sinking feeling. Join me as we quest beneath the surface and explore a sinkhole that opened up before the adventurers.
So grab a coffee, maybe some spelunking equipment and lets climb through tonight’s adventure!
The ancient ruins in the Khaina mountains belong to the people that used to live in the fort of Lithia. Once the aberrations that attacked the fort and hunted down the people that fled from the doomed fort the buildings fell into ruin. However as time made its mark the tunnels where the aberrations attacked through in conjunction with the river that raged through the ravine left something to be discovered years later.
A Yawning portal into the subterranean layers awaits, untold riches left behind from the fall of Lithia and the battles that raged ahead has left this place a veritable wonder-cove for would-be treasure seekers. However the caverns beyond the sinkholes hold something much darker than just the spoils of conquest.
A Sinking Feeling

The trek through the Khaina ravine was not as gruelling as one would imagine for the site of the largest coordinated attack from aberrations. The water rushed to their left as they made their way along the bottom of one of the twin mountains that gave the ravine its name. Sporadically there were ruins of the buildings that had called this pass home; cut stone stacked and bound by mortar, a rotting frame barely holding onto the plant growth that had taken over the roof of what was once a structure and the like.
As they moved deeper through what would have been the supporting buildings that housed and provided supplies to the fort that lay further through the ravine. The sunlight glinted of something in a patch of thick vegetation closer to the edge of the mountain. A golden hilt of a sword lay embedded in the ground and as the wind caught the branches of the trees that had overtaken the ruins the sunlight hit the hilt at the right angle.
Moving towards the hilt the vegetation underfoot became thicker with more roots and vines covering the ground underneath making each step more precarious than it needed to be. As they neared the hilt the vegetation shifted underfoot for a moment before, with the sound of cracking and snapping the ground gave way and the adventurers scrambled to stop themselves from falling. Those that were too slow found themselves suspended in a strangely light drenched sinkhole where a branch of the river trickled slower deeper into what appeared to be caverns that had been eroded by the water.
Plants lined the walls and the evidence of sunken masonry was everywhere. To their left was what appeared to be a cellar to the building that they saw above. Several old skeletons littered the floor beyond where the water had either washed them here, or, had not washed them further into the depths of the yawning cavern beyond.
As they marvelled at how this sinkhole, and the other entrances that danced with sunlight from above was not visible the party had a sinking feeling that there was more to this hole and cavern than what initially met the eye.
A fun one this week for not only the map potential but also the possibility of a good score of loot. Don’t forget that each day this week we will expand the adventure further so don’t forget to come back daily to stay up to date. And as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
