Experimenting with the tiles has taken some time. Though Skeeve and Gardakhan have become more proficient at moving the tiles it is still much slower than when Gardakhan saw the Dream Wever spider doing it. By time you have identified two valid pattens, HOME and UNKNOWN is has bee a couple of hours.

"Thank you both for being patient with us while we tried to figure this out. I know it has been pretty boring for you while we keep trying different patterns. I was hoping to be able to send Gardakhan back so he could help his village, but we don't seem to have the right pattern for that pad."daryen says:

I was under the impression that both of those directions led down to another level.Aug 23, 2023 8:34 pm

Ah yes. That's right. But going past the Fisher brought us to the spider cave which was its own style of problem.Aug 23, 2023 8:49 pm

The northern opening leads to a long passage leading deeper into the earth.OOC:
That's from August 11 at 6:29PM EST, which is what I thought in the first place. So I scrolled up when you corrected me about it descending to the next level and saw that Daryen had mentioned the spider cave. I posted that and that was wrong, so I scrolled back and re-read back at the original encounter and found that quote. I interpreted "deeper into the earth" to mean descend to the next level. Is that not the case? I'm officially confused. :( Aug 23, 2023 10:44 pm
OOC:
I guess I was confused, too, as I thought the spider room lead to the outside (or at least hinted at doing so). That's why I was interested in getting through the room until we realized we didn't have the right tools to clear out the spiders.So, if the room past the fisher doesn't go down, did we get a feel for what direction it did go?
Even so, that means we have at least three options:
1) The opening past the fisher room.
2) The way down to the west.
3) Activating the tile pad with the unknown destination.
In theory, we might be able to get outside through the spider room, but we don't have a way through the spiders.

Poor choice of words on my initial post for the tunnel past the Fisher. Sorry for the confusion.
Daryen had it correct though there is an option, 4 go back to bar.
I assume Gardakhan would be anxious to learn how to go home due to his people's predicament.

So, just to clarify, what is past the Fisher? Where does it go? I am pretty sure we peeked, but passed on it.And thank you for taking the time to clarify everything so we can figure out what to do next.

It is just another area of the cavern system. All the tunnels between the caverns (yellow slash between caves means there is a long passageway between the two) go up, down, and wind around. The only difference from the character point of view between the passage beyond the Fisher and the one to the West is that the western passage has a steading decline as it goes along dropping hundreds of feel in a quarter mile.

Then I guess it's past the Fisher or call it an early day and ask around about how to deal with the spiders.Last edited August 24, 2023 2:37 am

Gardakhan refrains from activate the portal although he is somehow relieved to have a way back to the spider thing cave.
Although he offered a good fight and injured the creature, he doubted he could destroy it by himself. Futher more would the creature still be in that cave.
"I have something to ask of you would you help me defeat the creature plaguing my tribe. It has powers I never encountered before and I alone would not be able to deal with it."
He pause for a moment to observe the reactions.
"Of course we barely know each other and would understand your reluctance. In which case I offer my help to your current endeavour. It will prove my good will and I can definitely learn a thing or two that will be useful. My tribe is rather peaceful and I'm not quite used to call the spirit in fighting situation"

OOC:
Gardakhan will tag along regardless of the decision. He will either attempt another fight with the help of the group or tag along hoping to gain combat experience and be better prepared for the next meeting with the creatureAug 24, 2023 12:46 pm

I'm just going to steer the story to finish out these caves so off to the Fisher and beyond[ +- ] map

I will help you protect your tribe. Sounds like a peaceful tribe being tormented by a horrible evil. But as the day is going towards late and it has already beaten you once I suggest you stick with us and get some experience. You said you have dreams about it so if they get worse let us know and we can expedite our return with you.
OOC:
So we got the "key" for both Gardakhan’s origin and back to our tile both right? Aug 24, 2023 1:10 pm
OOC:
2 "destination" keys, 1 is for this cavern set you are unsure where the other leads.Aug 24, 2023 1:11 pm

Blornvid nods in agreement with Raggy. "Aye, I'll help. But it may well be that we need help from others more powerful than ourselves. We had an encounter with a being way too powerful for us a few days ago in the level above and did just that."
As for the tube...
He turns to Raggy. "Does Ro smell anything in the tube?"
