OOC:
Welcome to story time with @Smiley[ +- ] Ishzu
Ishzu is a sentient crystal being. They send their time walking about the world searching for something or someone. They are quiet and kind. Only speaking to others when needed. They prefer to watch in the background and help in mysterious ways.

The crystalized being sits up and tires to get its bearings. It checks to make sure its pack is still strapped to his pack and good shape.
Ishzu stands on top of the piles of coins and clambers down. Opening the pack Ishzu pushes a few handfuls of coins into the bag. Others can use this... Ishzu thinks.
Taking a moment Ishzu focuses trying to sense what is down here.

As Ishzu begins putting some of the coin in his pack a deep rumble accompanied by the sound of a massive and heavy form approaching alerts him and his senses confirm a great and powerful intellect is in the room. Out of the vast darkness looms a massive head and in you mind you head a powerful voice accompanied by a sinister hiss from the dragons mouth.

You Dare? Know you not a dragon will always know if ANY take evel the LEAST of his hoard???

Ishzu walks to stand before the dragon. He bows and stays bowing. Speaking into the dragons mind. "Forgive me great dragon. I know not who they belonged. I did not take of greed. " The pack opens behind him and the coins float out. They land in a pile before the dragon. "May I ask your name great Dragon?"

Roll a Save Test, 2d6, to resist the power of the dragon voice.
Now tell me crystal man, are there more like you? I am most anxious to learn of your kind.

Ishzu stops bowing and stands up straight. Still speaking into the dragons mind "Well Met Ebonwrath. I am called Ishzu. " The crystal being shrugs in a ridged way. "I do not know. I have been searching for others simular to me but have found nothing"

I have not had a pet in some time as I dislike having others live with my hoard as they tend to detract from its splendor. You though would add to it and could help maintain it. I would of course help to keep you alive and entertained. I have lived a long time and can teach you much.
But if you wish your freedom I understand but will require an oath from you and a minor service for the inconvenience you put me through by being alive and so making my foray to add to my hoard a waste of time.

"While staying here and learning from you would be quiet educational. I would not be able to continue my search for my own kind. Being a Pet does not sound like a worth while existences. What about friends? I can explore and see what this world has to offer. Every year I come back here and impart some of what I learn to you and you the same to me?

The eyes of the dragon blaze for a moment with darkness so powerful it makes the earlier darkness of the cave seem to have only been dim. A searling sensation is felt on your inner bicep. As the dark light fades you look down at your arm and see a faint mark that seems to glow.
That is my mark. It marks you as mine for those sensitive to these things. Show that to any of my servants and they will not attack. It will fade in a day or so but can be recalled at will. With this you can call to me and I can reach you through your dreams.

If you can either clear them out or locate the surface entrance they are using to enter the lower caverns and inform me of its location through my mark, I would appreciate it.

"Can you show me where they are sneaking in? I will do my best to deal with them.
Isuzu rubbing the mark a little looks around the room for anything possibly useful in the dragons horde.

A couple minutes pass and you are now in a much narrower section of the cave. The magical light drifts to a crack in one of the walls.
They come up here. I could plug it but then they would find some other path in. It is impossible to keep a cavern large enough for a dragon's comfort isolated from the under dark. No matter how hard we try. So pest control is the best policy.
My presence should have driven off most wild creatures but traces of goblin stench and a few other traces make their way here on the occasional shift of subterranean air currents.
Dec 5, 2023 10:11 pm
"I will see what I can do. If I have any problems or questions do I just tap your mark?
Ishzu squeezes through the crack and into the darkness. Opening and focusing his mind he keeps a sense out for any other life forms as he goes.

The crack winds down dozens of feet and you lose track of direction and distance before reaching the bottom in darkness. During the climb you note there are a few glow grub on the walls of the crack, giving off their faint light, but the further you descend the less there are. The climb proves instructive as you stretch your senses to detect any nearby lifeforms you begin to not that your forced reliance on it has exposed its potential to "feel" objects around you which greatly aids you descent in the darkness. Reaching the bottom of the climb, or at least a large level area, you pause to consider your options.
Do you wish to continue in near total darkness or light a flame for illumination.

Pulling out a torch and lighting it Ishzu takes a better look around. He stays by the edge of the cave as he circles around.
Dec 6, 2023 9:35 pm
The area around base of the climb shows signs of having been used as a camp of some kind somewhat recently. Marks of small fires and scraps of bones with mold growing on them where the meat was not truly picked clean. There is a passage that leads is directions perpendicular to the crevice.

Ishzu pushes the bones around the room around the room with his mind. Searching for anything interesting or useful.
He walks towards the passage and shines the torch into it to see where it leads before entering.

The bones are of small creatures. The passageways have a slight slant with one direction leading up and the other down and reveal nothing but rock but you notice the one with an incline has a bit of trash, similar to around the camp.
