Into the Barrier Peaks

Caedwyn, Ilwyn
You step through the doorway, the light from Bram's staff partially illuminating an otherwise dark room. Inside you can see various bits of trash strewn about, mostly metal and cloth, although there are several broken pieces of some kind of strange, colored material. (Think plastic). There are no other exits that you can see, but the far wall is curved, similar to the shape of the outer wall in the entry cave. The dust and dirt is thick inside, and while there are scuff marks everywhere, it does not appear as if anyone resides in this place.

Ilwyn, as you join Caedwyn in the doorway, you can see that the corridor runs north for a ways. Like this hall, the north branch has several doors along its path, but near the end there looks to be yet another open doorway. Just at the limit of your sight you can see that the corridor again turns, this time to the right.

Pace: Slow
Time in caves: 10 minutes

Bram
You examine the disc and it appears to be about the same thickness so you check it against a door. While the thickness is correct, it is not as wide as the slot next to the door.

Bram
The coin is a flat white in color, with black markings where the lines are. Color-wise, it does not appear to match any door you have yet seen.

Caedwyn and Ilwyn

(Mostly just watching Bram to see what happens with the door, looking for something to put a sword into. If we find we can't open any of these doors yet I'll continue on though)

The search of the chamber finished, you continue your move northward through the bizarre metal hallways. The metal from your armored boots clank as you move, the sound echoing throughout the metal caves, just one more track of noise added to the strange sounds already being heard.

Passing by a pair of black doors along the way, again finding no means of entry, you come to the end of the corridor. Here there is another open doorway on the left, while the hall turns right and continues out of sight. Down this new turn you see yet more of the strange doors before the tunnel turns left at its end.

The open door leads into another ruined chamber of metal. Strange objects are strewn about as if someone was looking for something, or perhaps just entered into a violent rage and thrashed the entire place, but there does not appear to be anything of value inside. However, as Caedwyn peaks inside, his sharp eyes note something amidst the detritus of the room - bones. Inside, you can see two skeletal remains.

Pace: Slow
Time in caves: 15 minutes

Caedwyn
Inside the chamber, you search the debris and then the skeletal remains. From the looks of the bones, they are human-like, but smaller and thinner. The shape of their heads is more oval, leaving out the known elf races. These beings are strange, and their clothing is unlike anything you have ever encountered. Even through it is a smooth cloth-like material, is is more silky and shiny but also much more durable. Although it is torn to shreds, it does not look like the victims died of being ravaged by deadly beasts, but their clothing was torn after the fact.

The room itself is otherwise void of anything of interest.

Hraefn
You study the bones of the victims and see they they are shaped much like humans, only smaller. their bones appear to be a bit more frail than those of beings you are familiar with, and they have a distinctly yellow-green tint to them.
