Summary

• First of the “Shacklekeep Stories”

  • Dernard and Sweeney told about the time they went to explore the mystery cave in the ravine

• Entered cave, path split into left and right side

• Went to the right side and found a cave with a large pool of waterproof

  • Filled with white, blind fish

  • Saw a goblet lying in the pool

  • Tried to use unseen servant to get goblet

    • Servant vanished (dispelled?)

  • Tied rope around Sweeney, so he could get the goblet

  • Got attacked by a corrosive slime that was hiding in the water

    • 11 HP damage

    • Many items were destroyed (inclusive the business card)

  • Didn’t explore the area further, to avoid getting too close to the pool

• Return to the entrance and went to the left side

  • Found a bunch dead ends

  • Found a large cave filled with branches and bones

  • A large “lump” was seen in the distance (a sleeping monster)

  • Found a scroll case (cleric spells) amongst the bones

  • Woke the monster (big and furry, so a “bear”?, couldn’t see properly)

  • Fled the caves

• Returned to Shacklekeep

  • Encountered four undead monks at night

  • Avoided a fight by fleeing and hiding
