The Changing Hunt

You wade into the water, and it remains about waste-deep. You travel for about 15 minutes, turning left and right at various intervals, until you arrive at a cavern opening. The path comes up out of the water, and you find yourselves in a huge cavern, probably 60 feet high and 120 feet wide.

The walls have ornate carvings, looking almost like the faces of our world's babylonian reliefs and statues.



Upon inspection, you see puddles of water, some 10 feet in diameter, interspersed randomly around the place.

You just see the cavern continue forward. If Alin uses his everbright lantern, he would see that the cavern continues farther forward than he can discern. There are these bas reliefs carved along the walls all through this cavern, and as you walk, you begin to notice some kind of story play out.

Upon further inspection of the puddles, you realize that they are actually deep, as if the stone here was actually more of like a strange stone pipe or something, and that below is actually some kind of continuous pooling of water.

The rope seems to go in for 50 feet without hitting bottom, and you bring it up without anything cool/weird/crazy happening.

The darkness seems to extend beyond the reach of the everbright lantern as you walk slowly forward.

Those of you with a result higher than 18 (and Ghillie, who can reasonably interpret the results using his background feature) ascertain that this is a historical depiction of the generations of the Giant civilization.

Those of you who speak Giant can recognize some of the letters on the walls, but Ghillie knows that this is very old Giant language, which, at the start of this cavern, is not discernible. As you progress in the cavern, it is as if you are witnessing the transformation of the Giant language over the millenia, as it becomes more readable. You are able to read some names, such as Cul'sir Dagon, Cul'sir Fay-shont, and some of the names are scratched out or worn out by time.

You also a circle with relief profiles of 5 different fire giants, each facial profile surrounded by a shape resembling an element: Declant Su'lat (fire), Fallon Su'lat (water), Saren Su'lat (rock), Cortyr Su'lat (air), and Rawtha Su'lat (something whispy, but you cannot figure out what element this is).

You also start to notice the puddles not just into the floor of this cavern, but you see the puddles along the walls now, and along the ceiling.
