Echoes of Earthfall

Ciprian heard the sounds of all sorts of animals, birds, reptiles and the like which suddenly fell silent.  At that he moved apace back toward the Monument of Destruction calling for his fellow explorers to leave the area.

Then Paullus witnessed Gavril and Erevel suddenly fall to the ground after which their bodies seemed to be crushed.  He could barely make out the shallow breaths of the two.

Erevel, with much effort, pushed herself to her knees and elbow and crawled slowly toward the room the party had just left.

Monument of Destruction

"We do not know if Lowls is still in Neruzavin or not.  If he left the Big Book behind it would have cost him dearly to get to Carcosa.  But maybe he doesn't care or know at this point," Ciprian mused as the party finished healing and wondering where to head next.

"We should get that sword for the Ghost, Upianshe, maybe she can help us then," Gavril added.

"Let's get going to the next chamber at least," Erevel said.

As the party was discussing the next move Kaklatath entered from the west, "So another battle won. But we still need to find my body and clean up the lower level.

Speaker for the Deep

Ursina pulled herself up to a sitting position and breathed deeply.  "Did we win?"

"Yes all of the creatures are gone," Gavril responded, "Do we need to heal you more?"

"No, I can take care of it myself."

With that Ursina cast a cure on herself while the others looked for magic items on what remained of the bodies.  A few weapons and armor, cloaks, and three potions of Hiding.  Not a big haul here.

After a short rest the group continued their passage to the east and finally came to the edge of the "Snarl".
