The descent / scramble down the cliff leads you to more of a hole in the side of a cliff than an actual cavern. You find another path of metallic droplets that leads you inside. Inside the hole, the trail of drops is thicker and more regular.
The hole is square, about 3 feet by 3 feet (1 m by 1 m), and goes about 4 feet (1.2 m) deep before it opens into a dark, round room that is only slightly larger than the hole. Inside, a small metallic creature—1 foot (0.3 m) high and about half that in diameter—appears to be melting. Long streams of metal drip from it, and it almost sounds as if it’s panting. A large round plate of red metal that appears to be stuck to the creature’s side, as if it tried to use the plate to patch that part of its body together.
OOC:
I missed providing the description of a sacrifice, but it should be round and red and vaguely the size of a human head. Sanguity, the blood god, likes that sort of thing.
