Kdr and the Kidders enter Mt. Kruth to rescue Professor Gazim
Score: 237 | 9/7/13 |
They find the huts in the village overrun by lava (which is cool enough to walk on now) and abandoned.
But as they pass one hut, they hear whimpering. Upon investigating, the Kidders find a teenage girl trapped in a hut. The lava in the hut is still hot and gooey.
Using roofing material from other nearby huts, they create a makeshift platform to lay down on the lava so they can rescue the girl.
The teenager leads them up some outdoor stairs to an entrance to the innards of the volcano, where her fellow villagers have taken refuge.
Some fire beetles nesting near the entrance almost attack, but Kdr, a druid, casts "Speak with Animals" and befriends them.
When they meet the village chief, they discover that the villagers plan to sacrifice Professor Gazim the following morning to appease the god Kruth, father of dragons, because Gazim and a group of adventurers (the Descendant Finders) have been meddling in the affairs of dragons. They believe Kruth's anger led to the volcanic eruption that destroyed their village.
The Kidders concoct a half-baked story about being geologists that are only there to explore. Although the village chief suspects they are lying, he invites the Kidders to dinner and to spend the night, because they rescued the girl.
The Kidders plan to get some rest (so Kdr can spell up) and wake up around 2 am to rescue Professor Gazim before he is sacrificed.
Will the PCs wake up in time? Will they find out where Professor Gazim is being held? If they find him, will they be able to escape without being noticed? Stay tuned to see if Kdr and the Kidders can rescue Professor Gazim before he is sacrificed.
