The group has decided to split in two — fitting, considering the state of the Dragons Peaks right about now. The largest peak quivers, as the above-ground group walks towards it. They climb, those with magic use their abilities to help those without; and it's a short climb thanks to that.
Upon reaching the top, the group will see that the mountain is... leaking. Leaking blood, definitely, it's even red like you'd expect blood to be. It isn't magma, though, which has the group heaving sighs of relief. After all... this was supposed to be a volcano, if the stories you've all heard were correctly told.
Was... someone from ages past, trying to keep people away from this mountain...?
ABOVEGROUND TEAM:
- You've made it to the top of the peak that's splitting.
- Mini earthquakes are still happening but don't seem severe.
- Upon reaching the top of the peak, you see that it's covered in what appears to be blood.
And, oh! We didn't forget you underground rats! Our friends with terrible life choices! At least Elanna didn't choose to be in the hole; perhaps our two hero-complexes should reconsider their actions—
Nope, you don't reconsider? Alright. The rope out of the hole is left dangling, attached somewhere up above. An escape route, if you find that you need it.
Upon closer inspection, our underground trio recognize the eggs as Firetail Lizard eggs. The lizards are small to medium in size, and shoot fire from their mouths. So far, none of you run into them...
As you venture deeper into the caverns underneath this supposed volcano, the rocks do not seem hot to the touch, the air is cool if anything.
The deeper the group goes, the more lit the caverns become—until the underground trio is standing in a large room with glimmering red gems in the walls—bright enough to see by, albeit it's a horrible glow for those of you that lived through the Breach.
In the center of this room are two stone pillars—with red lyrium coating them. Be careful, ladies and gents.
UNDERGROUND TEAM:
- The link is a creature sheet. There's no lizards yet.
- You realize there's red lyrium all around you the deeper you go.
- You can still leave...
- You've found twin pillars underground—what are those?
