Chapter 10: The Fears Which Lurk Below
After they were relatively sure the dragon had gone, the party began to search for a way out, for the beast had caused the tunnel entrance to collapse. Wandering through the maze like warrens, they unexpectatedly came across a deep chamber, furnished in expensive carpets and pillows. There, to everyone's surprise, was their former companion Chance, being held captive by a hunchbacked, one-eyed orc shaman. A quick fight and her captor was vanquished.
Continuing through the passages, Chance and the party came to a huge underground cavern. Far below, a river could be heard raging into the depths. The band followed a narrow ledge until they reached a waterfall which originated from high above. Scaling the threachorous wet stone, the Company found themselves on the shore of an underground river. They followed the shoreline upstream until they came to a large cavern, sunlight from high above glittering off a dark central pool. Attempting to scale the cavern walls proved dangerous as the pools single occupant - a huge, bloated abomination of tentacles and teeth - lashed out in attack. Only through their combined efforts did the party manage to slay the beast and escape from the caverns, finding themselves high in the Desertmouth. In the near distance, standing like a lone sentinel, was the mountain peak holding the Evermir.
