SESSION 212: Back in the Dungeon of the Hill Giant Chief
Further exploration of the dungeon and natural caverns underneath the Steading of the Hill Giant Chief.
Day 132 Continued (12.20/ 0305): As Steve and Sloth pack the portable hole with giant lizard steaks the rest of the gang grab a breath before heading south towards the unexplored Orc rebellion zone. They moved south down to the wide corridor and then east to the enclave of the ork rebellion. The pig-men had not repaired the barrier between the dungeon and the caverns prior to their exodus. They quickly came across a narrow side passage and checked it out. About 50’ in they came to what appeared to be another ork barricade cutting off another side passage. The hobos were feeling lazy and pressed on. Another 50 or so feet along the finished dungeon gave way to a natural cavern network. As they entered the cavern it quickly became rather stenchy. Dead giveaway, the troglodytes were nearby. Very near as the stink quickly swelled. Carla called out to them, “You may leave in peace. The giants are dead and the orks are gone. Go West and leave our lands without violence”. They reptilian-stink-men were tired of being trapped in this cavern and being predated on by lizards, bugs and orc. The males stepped into the light and presented a line between the hobos and their females and young. As the non-combatants filed by the warriors fell in and the lot of them left the caverns in their way back to freedom. We didn’t spend too much time in this area as trog stink just don’t come out easy.
Moving north through the cavern system flowing water was heard but they hooked off to the NW instead. This led to a cavern that was the nesting place of a pair of minotaur lizards. Huge horns adorned the heads of these 40’ long monstrosities. They did not take well to visitors. There was also a brood that immediately took evasive maneuvers and scuttled down a sinkhole to a presumed deeper level. The two adults leapt to violent action slamming into Steve and Sloth. Ka-Boom. Gouged, gored and gobbled. The mob took a beating but even colossal horny lizards are at a disadvantage when faced with a horde of hardened murderhobos. Once more the outcome favoured our bold band. Onto the investigative discovery! The gizzards of the lizards were packed full of gems, lots of gems along with some loose coin and jewelry floating around the nest. The sinkhole now became a source of discussion, what the heck might be down there? They had been warned of bugs but none seen so far. What will we do next?
