The Northern Mountains

Wemmick again proves his acrobatic expertise and manages to stay afoot this time. Then with a burst of speed he lunges at the etting and knocks into the back of it's knees. The brute topples forwards, losing one of tis clubs down the ravine, before rolling onto its back and roaring at the swordsman who quickly back off as the etting reaches for him with it's massive hand.

The ettin falls under the onslaught. The dying figure collapses as it's last breaths rattle out, echoing around the ravine.

The massive corpse would prove problematic should you need to retreat with haste. Blornvid grunts as he shoves the body off the stairs.

Going down the stairs will simply return you to where to came from, the ravine floor with access to the cavern and traversing the ravine. Having already started up you decide to continue for now but with not caution in case you fought had alerted others.

You make your way up the stairs and soon reach a cleft in the cliff face. The crack looks to be a natural occurrence that was greatly expanded by rough tools. Enough so I'm fact to allot the ettin to access the stairs from the cavern beyond. From here you see the ravine lip where the stairs will exit. It is here that Fur indicates a preference to enter the new cave rather than continuing up the stairs.

Entering the passage you begin descending again and step into a larger cavern too large for your light to fully illuminate. However you see two other sources of light in the darkness. A larger set of flame, with several large figures below and in the distance and another, smaller light, off to one side.
