Chapter 1: Beneath The Streets
11th day of Toil, 997 (Vendian Reckoning)
Crew: Berry, Jasera, Norran, Tilma
Working for the Rat Catcher's Guild, Tilma discovered a weirdly lifeless cave system beneath the streets, which meant some kind of alpha predator. Keen on the reward, she assembled a team to hunt whatever monsters lurked within. They discovered a cockatrice nest with many hatchlings and an angry mama. They discovered a central cavern with the following features:
* A strange, sealed gate flanked by glowing crystals of violet and green. The green crystal seemed damage; intermittent pulses of arcane energy arced from a large crack in the crystal into the stone of the wall and floor.
* A vertical shaft connected the central directly cavern to the surface - somewhere in the harbor district.
* The remains of many petrified people, some of whom were intact and would likely awaken sometime in the next 24 hours.
They also rescued Ulfgar Duthane, a dwarven blacksmith and owner of Durthane's Cutlery. The claims a crime lord named Bartoz imprisoned him here on account of his unwillingness to sell his business.
Treasure: The PCs split the 60gp reward from the Rat Catcher's guild and acquired cockatrice parts to sell. Tilma kept an egg for herself to hatch. The party also earned a lifetime 10% discount at Durthane's Cutlery.
