Cave Entrance - Sheja

Ichabod had commanded his Gal Vorbak to secure a small area on the coastline of Sheja, there he would wait for his brethren to gather before they all delve deeper into the cave of Sheja and discover the reason why he had been guided here. The fact that his weird compendium had been lost when he entered isolation didn't matter anymore as the tattooed angel of Vordul now attached the loose parchment directly to his armour.

"My blessed sons, some of you will guard the entrance when we enter. There isn't any point in all of us going to hell," smirked Ichabod.

Impi had word Poe was in the region near a cave along the coastline. He wasn't given directions to his location so he sent many hours in searching. When he recognized a color formation of a group of men in the distance he rushed to them.

"Ahh finally the Gal Vorbak good to see we found you. Where is Demeter Poe?" Asking slightly out if breath. "Ligher Bringer our Commander is in the cave. Said There isn't any point in all of us going to hell. That's why some are here guarding the entrance." The folder replied. Impi laughed "That is true not all need to go see hell. Though for our protection all my Head Hunters will be going with us."

With that he made his way into the cave.

Cave Entrance - Sheja

By the time Dredmor and his guards neared the area home to the cave, several units of soldiers had already passed through, leaving a clear trail to follow. Arriving at the cave he recieved word from the soldiers stationed there that The Light Bringer and the Demeter had already entered.

He addressed his guards, "men, stay here with the others. If hell does exist within, I wish to see it now, on my own terms... Before I'm sent for good."

With that he followed in the wake of his lords, shield in hand.

The neatly-trimmed hooves of the Vice-Marshal's courser sank into the soft earth as rider and mount broke off from the path that had lead them to the prophesised cave. He furrowed his brow, assessing the situation before him as he swung himself from atop the saddle that, by now, he was desperately tired of blessing with his presence. Walking steadily towards the throng of activity before him, Octavius swept his coal-black hair backwards out of his face, showering droplets of sweat and rain upon the dew-soaked grass behind him.

He nodded with curt severity to the assortment of guards posted at the entrance to the cave, guarding the menagerie of horses, provisions, and equipment that accompany any grandiose noble's personal retinue. His features, like his posture, were taught as he steadily made his way into the darkness of the gaping maw before them all, a hard-fought façade of youthful energy overriding the exhaustion of several days travel with painfully little respite.

Cave of Sheja

The smile that crept across the lips of Ichabod was conveniently concealed by darkness.

"I have no idea brothers, I have not seen this symbol before or a goat drawn in such a way. Those of Gotland didn't use this image so I suspect it's from a culture we have yet to meet".

The sound of heavy footsteps began to grow louder as the Gal Vorbak that Ichabod had sent on ahead had returned with news of the path before them. The Arch Angel nodded in approval as it appeared that the cave splits into two a little further down the way, turning to his gathered brethren he offered a path for them to take.

Left - This path is narrow and the light from the torches can barely breach the darkness, it appears to go down into the cave and into the caverns below.

Right - This path is short and leads back out onto the coastline, unreachable by any other means due to the rock ribbed coast.

Stay put - You can choose to stay where you are for now and wait for the others to return.

"Brethren, the choice is yours" smiles Ichabod.

Cave of Sheja

Octavius steeled himself as best as he could as the heavy shroud of darkness and gloom that filled the cave engulfed him and his fellows. He furrowed his brows at the offered pathways, unsatisfied with the dirt, grime, and potential dangers that each offered - but he dare not let his façade slip.

"We shall take the left." He said curtly, a sharpness of tone managing to mask a growing tremble of fear in his voice.

He glanced briefly to his companions as if pausing for agreement, but continued brazenly, feeling for the reassurance of the pommel of his sword hanging from his hip as he spoke. "Whatever may lurk in the darkness shall be deep in the bowels of this place, of that I have no doubt."

Cave of Sheja

Ichabod nodded as all his companions had chosen to go left into the dark caverns below.

"I will stay here...and study these markings for a little while longer" spoke Ichabod.

The Angel of Vordul summoned his Captain and began giving them instructions for he and nine of the Gal Vorbak where to join with them as they went left. He had also given instructions to the other ten to investigate the right path just in case something of interest was located there. The torches had been given to those entering the caverns and their equipment was checked and rations taken as it was unknown how long they where to be down there.

"Captain Oswin will escort on my behalf and I will follow on when I've finished here".

Ichabod watched the knights and his Gal Vorbak began to head to the caves below, the light from their torches disappearing as they made their way down the light eating path. "Good luck" he gestured, careful to hide his expression for it could give away his true intentions. A wide smile crept across the lips of Ichabod Poe as they disappeared down the path.

Cave of Sheja - Below

Captain Oswin lead the oathed knights and lords of Vordul through the darkness as they headed left. The flame from his torch flickered as it fought it's way through the dark, eventually the narrow path opened into a much larger cave so that the explorers who had been travelling in single file could now spread out.

The Gal Vorbak re-lit their torches and moved around the room so they could guide those with them.

Items of Interest:

  • In the centre of the room lies a large pool of murky water.
  • A skeleton with a chain around it's neck with a rusted key attached.
  • an old book
(OOC: you are free to RP the items as you wish, can decide who checks what etc or do it all together. Lets make some lore)

Cave of Sheja - Captain Oswin POV

The captain had received strict orders from Ichabod, he was to support the knights of Vordul and ensure they return unharmed from the cave. The captain and his Gal Vorbak stood at the edge of the murky water as it remains unusually still, one of the Gal Vorbak held his torch over the pool to try and gain a better look but nothing could pierce the surface.

They did not see the disturbance that soon followed, whether it was the ripple of activity in the water prior, or the clawing hand of the Gal Vorbak soldier as he plunged beneath the water. An eerie stillness returned as the panicked soldiers all waved their torches out looking for signs of life or death.

Cave of Sheja
Dredmor narrowed his eyes in the direction of the water as the rippling surface calmed. Ensuring he didn't let his back face the water, he approached the chained skeleton. "You are chained, as am I. I cannot brake my chains, not yet, but I can free you from yours" he said quietly to himself. With that, he took the key and unlocked the chain.

Cave of Sheja - Captain Oswin Point of View

Captain Oswin watched on as Sir Dredmor unchained the skeleton and muttered words he couldn't hear, even with the echo of cave. The Gal Vorbak had finished investigation the cave and had found a narrow gap that was just big enough for them to move through, the Captain carefully moved from the grimy pool and made his way to the apparent exit, he made sure to tell the knights the plan as he went.

"We will check the next room and then provide a full report to Lord Ichabod" commanded the Captain as he gathered the Gal Vorbak.

A hair raising laugh echoed through the narrow gap in the wall. "That won't be necessary Oswin" spoke Ichabod.

Cave of Sheja

Brethren,

I wish to report that deep within the caves of Sheja we have found a decrepit chapel that belonged to a long dead civilization. Upon entering the cave we stumbled upon markings on the cave wall that depicted a strange symbol and a goat that appears to have four horns.

My Gal Vorbak and some of our finest knights and lords pushed ahead into the caverns below and they uncovered an old book and some remnants of the denizens that dwelled there.

Due to the nature of what then followed I unfortunately can't disclose them openly, so if you wish to know of the events that followed you must head to Ircymbar to be inducted into the Chapel directly, if you have done so then I will continue the story in the church during my first sermon.

Glory Departed,
Ichabod Poe, Arch Angel of Vordul Sanguinis, Margrave of Ircymbar
