2. The First Delve

You set off back towards the Ruined Chapel that contains the hidden entrance to the Sanctuary of Chthonia. Between them, Gabbro and Luther carry Jessica’s body, whilst Ricard and Johann drag one litter, and Pickles and Horath the other.

It’s slow going, particularly with the portcullises to navigate, but after two turns you make it to the chapel without incident.

I understand that the plan is to lay Jessica in the sanctuary beneath the chapel. But I’m less clear about your plans for the Kobold’s goods. Is the intention to put any or all of them down there as well?

Luther will descend to the sanctuary and move to statue of the Goddess "My lady are you there?"

You (the players) hear the sounds of more dice being rolled behind the DM's screen ...

Luther shifts the altar in the Ruined Chapel to one side and descends the iron ladder to the Sanctuary 30' beneath.

After a short pause, the statue of Chthonia Trimorphia replies to Luther's question, the three heads - the maiden, the mother and the crone - speaking in unison. "Ah, Brother Luther, back so soon. What ails thee?"

Luther will make bow "My lady we have had a comrade fall in the fight against evil. Can we inter her body here in your sanctuary? We also have some supplies we would like to see in we could store here?"

Up above the sanctuary, Ricard stays vigilant. Sword and shield at the ready, he stands near to the entrance, watching and listening for any sound of approach.

Horath joins Ricard in watching the entrance. This is not his goddess. He serves the lord of mischief.

"Why, of course. Bring them down. You may leave them in this room."

Pickles had taken the time to wait patiently at the top of the entrance, while Luther chatted with the spooky presence. The Halfling struggled to trust disembodied voices.

Once the agreement was made he looked around the group with an inquisitive eye, "Anyone got rope? And Ricard you look suddenly Healthier?"

"Thank you my lady." Luther will climb back and let the others know the lady had given us permission to bring Jessica's body and the supplies down to store.
