Chapter 6: Calamity Caves

You head back and to the ledges. Before entering you look down the hallway with rubble. Tomas is able to notice that the rubble comes from the roof and that the whole cave is likely to collapse should anyone cause a disturbance. You will need to prop up the tunnel or risk a cave in if you are to go this way. You leave it alone for now and check out the ledges.

The first one is a small ledge, where you find a few broken javelins indicating that someone once hunted from this spot. More interesting is that among the broken javelins are a 10 javelins in a strange metal later identified as cold iron. The same metal the creature you fought yesterday is weak against. At least you'll be prepared if there's more of them.

You climb back down and head over to the other ledge, it reveals a short tunnel that leads to a small cave. Entering the cave you first notice a large mammoth skull. You realize its bigger than the cave entrance point. On the ground, bones and other offerings encircle the skull. Opposite the skull is a bed of old furs.

Artesia is able to recognize this as a guardian spirit presiding over the cave and that the mammoth have been placed here by Erastil.

Among the offerings you can see a magical rune as well as an udentified elixir and an ordinary steel mirror.

Tomas is unsure what kind the mold is, but his experience with other similar growths, leads him to think that burning the mold would be the best way to get rid of it.

Koram can see a heavy layer on dust on the offerings. They have been here for years.
