As you pony up the coins, the Duergar pulls out a scroll case. Sliding out a single sheet of parchment and a charcoal stick, he makes a series of marks on the page before handing it over, along with your goods.
Here's a receipt of goods lads, take it with my thanks!
After both coin and goods have exchanged hands, Sarith pushes you off, and you all take off downriver, once again outpacing the slower merchant craft. The next three days pass without any issue or act of interest. Even your scenery this time was boring. Narrow tunnels and unadorned rock. One morning, upon rising, you all feel a small bulge in your packs. When you inspect them, you find a rough linen sack laden with your gift items.
At the end of the fourth day of travel, you emerge into a small cavern and Sarith poles the raft over to the shore. About 45 feet distant, the river seems to just stop, as it diverts downward into a massive sinkhole.
This is where our river travel stops. We've another 2 days to go on foot to get to Sloobludop. Best that we rest here and make final preparations before heading out. Sarith says, already looking for an area large enough for you all to set up in.
Feature-wise, this cavern is small and plain. No faerzress permeates here, no mushroom forests or plains. Only the rush of the water and the rough-hewn stone surfaces. The river rushes in from the eastern side and there are two tunnels: one to the north and one to the west.
OOC:
I'll adjust the party loot page to reflect the purchase.
