Chapter 1 - The Red Waterfall

"I'm not talking about the mine my friend, I'm talking about a cave south of here," she replies flatly.

"No, he was in the mines from what I remember," she says.

You head out east along the Larch Path the next morning. The trial winds gently through farms and grassland for around eight miles before becoming gently hills. Shortly after noon the terrain becomes harsher with the fertile farm land giving way to barren rocky outcrops.

A short march later in a ravine, an exposed rock face is split by a vertical crevice about three feet wide and fifteen feet tall. Water trickles from the opening and spills into a nearby bog. In the mud around the crevice are many overlapping boot prints. Some head into the crevice, and some carry out.

OOC: Being a bog only small plants poke out of the mud to a height of no more than two feet.

The crevice leads twenty feet into the hillside before opening up into a cavern. Many trickles of water combine into a pleasant sound that echoes through the main room. The walls glisten with moisture and dim light fills the cavern coming from a whole in the ceiling to the outside world one hundred feet up. Stalactites and stalagmites litter the cavern.

As Kicsi admires the beauty of the room her gaze is quickly focuses upward to the origin of a high-pitched screetching sound. Flying straight at the hafling is a horrid bat-like creature. A long needle-like nose protrudes from its ugly head and the two foot mosquito-esque creature is looking to impale Kicsi!

OOC: Roll INIT

The creature glides down at the halfling letting out yet another high pitched screetch. Kicsi gets Kard up in time and the flying bat-like creature slams into the flat of the blade and bounces to the ground. It is quickly up and flying back towards the ceiling. As she follows the path of the creature towards the ceiling she grimaces to see three more of the "bats" making their way towards her!

Kard swings through the air with a whistle but misses. Her left hand found its mark however. Kicsi's fist smashed into the bat's skull with the snapping sound of bone breaking. It feel to the ground with a thud and was then pulverized into a pulpy mess as Ghelin's warhammer finished it off. The other three in the air let out shrieks of their own and descended upon the companions...

The second creature swoops down and clamps onto Kicsi's left arm. She feels its teeth dig into her flesh and the strange and horrific sensation of her blood being sucked out.

OOC: 3 damage and the stirge is attached the remainder of this round. Disadvantage on movement.
