After our adventure in the crypts Kota gave the party some time to rest and relax on their own. Deciding it was time for a solo-adventure! After wandering through the Reach Kota came upon a cave with a long trail of blood and gore leading up to it's black maw.
Of course he went in without a second thought; only to develop arachnophobia.
Trying to ignore the frightful eight legged abomination he encountered inside the mouth of the cave he forged ahead! Hearing heavy growling the sounds of claw against rock Kota ducked down and moved further into the cave. A large room was up ahead, and the smell of wet-fur filled his nostrils. He jumped down a ledge only for his foot to crunch loudly on a half chewed bone. Signaling for the cave's werebears to attack, but their claws and teeth were met by ebony and spellfire, and the warmage was the only one left standing barely..
Realizing the danger this cavern system contained Kota left, and came back not long later with Chilltits and Lydia. Cinder was too busy washing her hair or some shit.
As the party continued three hellhounds charged down the narrow hallway. Lydia took one down with a well placed arrow, and Kota went turned into a whirlwind of ebony as he unsheathed his secondary cutlass.
Sheathing his second cutlass Kota and his group continued further into the cave. Coming to a large room with ramps and obvious human presence. He saw a hunched figure eating in the corner. Thinking it must be some sentient humanoid he walked up to it without recklessly. Only for it to turn around and be THIS UGLY FUCKING THING KILL IT WITH FIRE!
After about five straight minutes of burning the body to ash, then the scorch mark Kota came to his sense and steeled himself. He felt as if they might be close to the end, and whatever foul power brought these evils here.
Once more he heard the sound of claw on stone, only to be followed by what sounded like some sort of bird like animal. It was approaching at a quick pace, and he waited with his companions at his side. Both cutlasses at the ready.
After slaying that corrupted raven the party headed forth..the air grew cold once more, and ice began to line the walls. A giant red figure stood in the distance, and the party halted as Kota brought out his dwemer scope. A device that bent and enhanced light allowing for men to see like hawks. Demonic in both nature and mindset; it was an Archdemon. The source of all these evil creatures. They must be under it's control!
