A Ruin in the Mountains

A Ruin in the Mountains (or How Curiosity (Almost) Killed a Skye) is the first session in the arc A Demon's Revenge.

Kytheon, Rhrosthkraan, Skye, and Ventigne arrive at the ruin of Kali's Hold. They have been sent by an Elven woman named Nache to find a group of explorers sent by Nache herself to inspect Kali's Hold who had not returned for some time. When the party arrived at the ruin, the entrance caved in and they were forced to find an alternate exit.

The party rather quickly found a dead dwarf lying in their path who matched the description of one of the explorers they were sent to find. His body was stabbed and cut in multiple places and he was robbed of all possessions. Undeterred, the party pressed on.

Skye lead the pack, curiosity nudging him on farther and farther into the ruin. This proved nearly fatal when Skye was ambushed by a particularly stealthy goblin and began bleeding out. The fight took its toll on the rest of the party as well. After a long grueling fight the goblin ambush lied dead on the ground.

The party headed deeper into the ruins and encountered a group of rust monsters. After dealing with them, the party investigated the decrepit barracks. The party doubled back and investigated a side passage. They discovered a kitchen and at the same time a firebolt flew at the party.
