Bel investigates the tracks in the mud

investigate 12

The tracks appear large and reptilian, but it’s hard to determine the exact size because of how soft the mud is.

//OOC Is there room to get GB a little flight?  If o GB can take a little recon spin north of the bridge// 

 // I misread your post...here's what GB sees! (map updated) //

After a short distance, the ledge leading east bends to the south, and a second bridge surmounts the river, leading off into the darkness. The bridge to the east looks somewhat different than the bridge to the west, mishapen.

// what direction are the mud tracks headed?//

The tracks lead away from the hard stone of the ledge to the north and into the water.

// Let me know which direction you guys are wanting to check out! Or if you need more info or anything. //

GB will grab the rope from his bag and tie it to his lit torch.  Then he will do a little recon on the northern passage with the torch hanging approx 8 ft below him.  The goal being that GB can see the cavern floor better and if he comes across any creatures he can drop the rope and attempt to fly back to the group with the creatures focusing on the torch.

Investigation 16  minus one on the roll is you prefer perception?

Once safely down the ladder - Aregarak will untie Spirt and set her down on the ground.  He'll draw his greatsword back out and await GB's return.

When GB comes to the other side of the passage, he notices two things. First, as he nears the easternmost stone bridge, he notices that the bridge (approximately 8 ft directly under him) is curiously pitted, as if it were affected by some kind of acid.

Second, the dilapidated bridge leads south to another ledge, which itself winds southeast alongside an apparently very large subterranean lake, which seems to be a source for the fast-flowing river. The cavern is quite large; the lake’s far shore is lost in shadow, and the echoes of water seem to indicate a very sizable cave.

GB become nervous to be alone in such a large space so he will fly into the space approx 50ft (GB flying speed) then turning around to return to the group with details of what he saw.  

// Go ahead with a Wisdom (Perception) check, GB! Degree of success will determine what you find. //

Perception 21

A short distance offshore sits a small isle, perhaps thirty or forty feet across. Stalagmites thrust up at the ceiling above, and the dark waters lap quietly at its shores. Several spots on its surface glimmer even in the gloom, suggesting the promise of treasure to be had. GB’s torchlight is reflected by a large mound of gold coins.

GB turns around and hightails it back the group recalling what the trapped women **forgot name** said about too far down is a dragon.  Back with the party he explains the rough size of the room and the glittering gold.  He also noted the acid damaged bridge to the north.  

“Well guys, where to from here?” Bel ask.

"Well we came for treasure, you seem to have found treasure, so I say we go to the treasure!"

“What about the dragon? Shouldn’t we save your girlfriend?” Bel says with a smirk.

"Did GB see a dragon? I came here for treasure, and it sounds like we have found treasure!"

None of you have seen any dragons nearby.
