City of Coin/Under Forest
- Day 9 - 16*
The party prepares for the expedition, purchasing supplies and crafting magical equipment.
- Day 10*
The expedition begins.
The party drops by Mickey and (of course) gain access through Under Town.
They also visit the King Rat were they negotiate a rate of 100 gp per head of any monster that may be a threat to the King Rat domain or people, and he agrees to visit from a a research team from the university.
Esmer and co travel deeper underground reaching a vast underground chamber lit from above by phosporescent fungus. Lush greenery, ferns and cycades carpet the cavern floor. Water drips constantly from the ceiling like rain.
A faint path, with the occasional cut paving slabs is found and the party ventures into the sunterrainean jungle. They are ambushed by two lion-like felines which are soon slain, even though they tried to flee. Esmer spends some time making notes on a ruined building.
A bit further on the path continues into a tunnel. An amphisbaena incubating a clutch of eggs blocks the way. The two-headed snake creature is driven off by a a deluge of water and the illusion of falling rocks.
The next cavern is split in two by a fast flowing river 50 ft wide that used to be spanned by a stone bridge. All that remains of the bridge is the three stone piers.
