The party headed down the narrow, winding passageway they had uncovered, but halted a couple of hours in once they discovered some drying algae that didn’t seem to belong there. Goblina burnt as much as she could with a torch on a five-foot pole.
Then Jaren took over magical duties, first by casting Detect Magic to determine that magic was involved, then by casting Analyse Magic to determine that the magic there was a kind of trap that would cause the algae to grow explosively and attack those who passed through it. With the assistance of the Anima vessels provided by the deep cave goblins, Jaren then undid the spell that had been cast on the algae.
The party continued, rested where possible, and finally entered a very warm cavern. In this cavern, they picked up the tracks of the elf and his party; they also saw that the heart of the cavern was fissured with a great gorge that descended to a roiling river of lava. It appeared that the elf had spent time exploring the side caves of the main cavern; the party did likewise without discovering anything.
The party decided to cross the cavern over a huge stalactite that had fallen and created a bridge over the gorge. Doing so tired them out because of the intense heat. Exploring the far side, they found a deep cave goblin altar, which they hid with boulders and conjuration magic. Going further, Haley spotted a figure turning and fleeing.
The party followed and were attacked by an elf, a human, an orc and a dwarf in a passage. In the first two rounds of combat, the orc was hit several times and severely injured. Goblina rushed forwards to attack the elf. Jaren’s rishtuk was hit a couple of times with arrows.
3 XP for Jaren and Goblina, and 2 for Haley.
