Smon: GM: Flying south from his new domain of Trade on the mighty Royal Wyvern, his golden-scaled bride behind him comes Prince Shieldbiter.
Smon: ... the forest parts to reveal great redstone cliffs rising ahead, three hundred feet high. The Thrace River cascades down falls from the top of the cliffs to the forest floor below, where the marble ruins of the lost city spread out around a central canal. A branch of the canal leads north into an expanse of swamp, which extends for miles north.
Smon: GM: Shieldbiter you see before you the vast marbled ruins of Thracia
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSth_KPgipQq7V7r7Tm8fzGOxULd7RVIPhtkmjmnhEy4Lc1zeIEgWjzgSkNYbgtERtIjisYc6U-EwPLGNH9UhPYRkPPsFtXhw3pXRniyrEUc1LrWwm6FmlRQE_OJY1vfzRlHEB6nHLA_0/s1600/Thracia+city.jpg

Smon: Just beyond on the edge of the jungle line a small group of human figures shelter
Smon: Prince Hakeem!
Smon: The strange oracle Dr Rosa Piercemuller
chris107: Prince?! Have I been elevated?
DESTROYERBILL: noooooooooooooooooooooo
Smon: And that fellow Ajax (Fergus) from the Ralluan ship where Shieldbiter left Hakeem some days ago.
Smon: Well Hakeem is seen as ruler of these lands by the dragonborn.

DESTROYERBILL: i am the only prince!

Smon: Ajax watches curiously as the royal wyvern lands.
DESTROYERBILL: raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Smon: Blue-green tropical parakeets break from the trees, fluttering away in panic.
chris107: Hakeem is pleased to see his royal chum and mighty royal wyvern again.
DESTROYERBILL: so is this the toom of the first king
chris107: "Dr. P. believes so."
Smon: Rosa yelps as Shieldbiter roars, jumping into Hakeem's arms (if he catches her)
DESTROYERBILL: ha ha ha
chris107: "You may get to use that new sword of yours sooner than you think."
chris107: He will try to catch her
chris107: "But try not to terrify Dr. P. to death first. She is our guide on this expedition."
Smon: auto success (20+)
chris107: yay
DESTROYERBILL: noooooo
Smon: Hakeem sets Rosa down, she adjusts her glasses.
Smon: Rosa "Hello Shieldbiter" she says a little wanly.

chris107: (I thought that's where we were now )
DESTROYERBILL: fianlly
Smon: Now there are probably linkages in the caverns, but you don't know them.
Smon: No you entered by the central stairs.
Smon: You could either retrace or try to find the underground river with Grastic's bridge.
chris107: "Well le4t's go back, avoiding that trip wire and try again."
Smon: you never saw the wire...
Smon: You go back...

DESTROYERBILL: that trap is rusty
DESTROYERBILL: sure dood sure
Smon: Rosa recovers her feet.
DESTROYERBILL: you triped ove and it floo over your head
Smon: A long way off in the direction you came from, you hear the horn blow again.
chris107: "Well, we can go and kill every Gnoll in Thracia but that won't help us find this Sphinx again."
Smon: GM: Hurrying now, you exit up the main steps and return to the surface.
DESTROYERBILL: i want to fght the minatour king
DESTROYERBILL: or not
chris107: "But without going back out and finding this other building..."
DESTROYERBILL: mabye a bigger lizard armey for me to take controll of
Smon: Rosa: "Maybe we could talk to the sphinx, learn stuff, then fight him?"
DESTROYERBILL: okay
chris107: (That would be very cool, Bill )
chris107: (Very Lustria)
Smon: Hakeem looks around, leads you sw 200' through the ruins to a large square temple building (B) by the river.
chris107: "Let's try down here..."
Smon: To the south crumbling bridges cross the canal.
Smon: The short squat building looks fire-scorched and strangely devoid of plant life.
DESTROYERBILL: ets go ther
DESTROYERBILL: lets go ther
Smon: Looking in past a broken door you see numerous human heads lining the walls.
Smon: They look a few months old, some flesh still on them.
chris107: Fresh?
DESTROYERBILL: promising
Smon: Bits of paint indicate these were Deathwalkers.
Smon: There are men, women and children in rows, hung up on hooks.
chris107: "Aye, let's light the place up with our swords first though, Prince Shieldbiter."
DESTROYERBILL: okay
Smon: Hakeem locates the steps leading down.
Smon: Assuring yourself the temple is deserted of the living, you take the stairs down a long way.
chris107: "When we have the time we really must rid the world of the Deathwalkers..."
Smon: Rosa: "Looks like someone already did..."
chris107: "Good."
Smon: The stairs turn into an east-running passage which turns north and opens out into a vast dark cavern crossed by rope bridges.
chris107: (I think Dick the Butcher was here once?)
Smon: It's getting more familiar now - Deathwalker halls to the north, Ontussa to the east.
chris107: "East." Says Hakeem, more confident now.
Smon: Hakeem takes a rope bridge right, through a tunnel, across another chasm by bridge.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: Something rustles in the darkness far off near the cavern ceiling - giant bats?

chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
chris107:

Smon: Hakeem recalls the giant bats were disturbed by light.
Smon: & attack travellers on the rope bridges like you are right now...
chris107: "Let's dim our weapons for now. Anyone got a lantern we can shield and cross?"
Smon: Rosa produces a candle
chris107: Hlet's Bondorr's lightning dim, for now.
DESTROYERBILL: i light the candle then dim weapons
Smon: The rustling gets louder but then you dim your blades.
Smon: Rosa cups her candle, keeping the light dim.
Smon: You are able to cross to the tunnel on the far side.
Smon: It runs east then s

DESTROYERBILL: what about me i took 73 damage
chris107: Did the centipedes come through the rusty gate?
Smon: Rosa: "I think SB needs it more than me anyway!"
Smon: No, they came out from under the black drapes.
DESTROYERBILL: tahnks
Smon: Black drapes = Thanatos.
Smon: Prob a temple judging by the washbasin you can see

chris107: (2 mins please?)
Smon: gonna finish at 10 btw
Smon: Rosa: "There's water in this basin..."
Smon: She looks through into the west section. "Ancient Greek writing!"
Smon: "It's warnings not to enter the west section or be damned by Thanatos."
chris107: back
Smon: Rosa: "So this must be a temple, with outer central and west compartments..."
8:48pm 2017-6-23 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
chris107: "We're not here to fight Thanatari this time. Let's keep on searching for this Sphinx."
Sandor Sunneson: evening boys
chris107: Hi Fergus
Smon: You see long burned out torches on the walls.
Sandor Sunneson: just back from Loch Ness
Smon: Hi Fergus Ajax is deep in the dungeons under Thracia.
chris107: See any monsters?
Sandor Sunneson: cool
Sandor Sunneson: glad he's alive,
Smon: Hakeem sees no monsters. He thinks the steps must go down to the Grastic bridge, with Ontussa's lair beyond...
chris107: "This way."
Smon: However those steps have a tendency to turn into a chute...
Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 33,
Smon: You step onto the stairs...
chris107: "Can Ajax fly us down?"
Smon: 30% chance... they creak dangerously but you make the descent safely, to the bridge over the underground river where Hakeem slew Grastic so long ago.
chris107: "I wonder what ever happened to his trident?"
chris107: "He was a fierce fighter."
Smon: Crossing the bridge Hakeem finds an old rope hanging down - was this where he descended to do battle?
Sandor Sunneson: Close fight Hak?
Smon: Beyond is familiar territory, a long tunnel running north with a green glow at the far end.
chris107: "It was."
chris107: Hakeem will sneak up towards the light.
Smon: Hakeem remembers now - climbing down from the lost Thanattos shrine far above... he leads the way down the 100' long tunnel, the light growing brighter.
Smon: The hall is inlaid with pearly grey marble.
Smon: 5x15 panels, in each is set a human skull, 5' off the ground,
Smon: Dim green light comes from the eye sockets of the skulls, springing into light as you approach.
Smon: Ahead is a dark room, but as you enter blinding light springs forth, illuminating the great Sphinxess, resplendent on her dais.
Smon: Ontussa yawns, looks down at you.
chris107: Hakeem bows.
Smon: "Welcome back Hakeem. I've been expecting you."
Smon: OOC good place to quit
chris107: "Lady Ontussa."
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgES3I_L-ZJGzDcBlNsSxiXQQqWCzEPt6ueQ2MnZDS_WsRnEqSlqEE_yTP5kzxSYqSUcGbBcgQ71UDyerR2jTZK39vTm90V9O05o29DXk7gVLUHzMXpQXaxLjUBUC0JOnOZgUDhuMmw5xU/s320/Ontussa+the+Gynosphinx.jpg
