The

Cave

A weary soul discerns no truth or lie

An eager heart asks neither what or why

Omens

0 of 6 encountered

1. A wide cave mouth looms from a vine- cloaked cliff. It seems empty, but echoes sound slightly altered.
2. Three iron pilgrims attempt to seal the cave, claiming it can only cause harm.
3. The Cave, a familiar shape and echo. This time a glow emanates from within, revealing 3 useful crystals (see opposite).
4. The Cave appears again, on a new cliff face, the word “gold” echos from within. Anybody entering awakens the beast of solid darkness, which only fights to prevent entry to the Cave. Beyond the beast lies a heavy coffer of gold.
5. The Cave appears on a great boulder, now with eye-like holes and tooth-like stalactites. It slowly speaks, granting one question to each Knight present. It knows all and answers to the best of its ability.
6. A towering figure strides out of a shadow, like folds of material darkness. He is the Debt Collector, here to take payment for the Cave. He accepts anything of value, and tries to kill those who won’t pay.
