Players: Monty, Mizu, Lyra
*I made this first part up to explain where Apollo came from*
Lyra was so enamored by her visit from Neria the previous day that she dreampt of her all night, visions of wolves running through soft fields of blue flowers flowed through her mind as she slept. As the pack ran one white wolf, slightly smaller than the others but spirited, stopped and turned to look at her in the eyes. An ethereal voice gentle and calm spoke to her Apollo is coming. The wolf turned and rejoined it's pack as they continued through the fields out of sight. The small paladin eventually woke to the gentle nudging of a white wolf at her side, she opened her eyes and the beast sat beside her waiting patiently. She smiled and sat up, "Apollo." The beast bowed it's head slightly and she reached out a hand and gently pet the beast, while silently giving thanks to Neria.
The party woke up in the Goblin's camp and prepared themselves for the days adventure. They followed the sounds of water to the south as they navigated the subterranean labyrinth. After a while of searching the party came across a s small gorge with an under ground river flowing through it. It seemed to be the same river which they had previously encountered. At this point on the gorge a small rope bridge was found dangling on the far side. Mizu used his superior acrobatics to leap across the gorge with a rope in hand. He secured the rope onto a post and Lyra did the same as well. Monty then flew into the gorge and retrieved the fallen bridge. It was secured at the other end and the remainder of the party crossed safely. The group pushed further into the caves and found a junction of six path ways. Mizu volunteered to begin searching them one by one. Apollo began to search the entrance of each cave and his sense of smell picked up the scent of an enemy down one of the passages. As Mizu left a large bat like creature attacked Monty and Lyra, a short fight ensued but the beast was quickly dispatched.
Mizu carefully crept along the corridor until he came int contact with a large beast. He was hit with a devastating blow and his scream echoed through the caves. Monty and Lyra ran towards Mizu as soon as they heard his cries. They soon ran into Mizu as he was fleeing from the beast yelling for the party to run. Lyra hoisted him onto Apollo's back, and the party fled back to the bridge. It was determined that they would make a stand here and use the bridge if need be to escape. The beast came crashing forth and immediately attacked. Monty and Lyra engaged the beast in melee as Mizu hung back to regain his strength.The beast turned out to be a large troll. It furiously attacked Monty hitting him several times. Lyra smote the beast giving her a slight advantage against it. For several rounds the party and troll battled back and forth and everyone suffered wounds from the beast. Ultimately the beast was brought down and the party took a brief respite to heal their wounds.
Continuing down through the caves, the party found a hole with a ladder leading deeper in to the cave. The group decided to head down. After a short search the party came to a damp cavern with several glowing flowers. This was the fabled plant that they had come here for. Each of them picked the brightest flower in turn. With their quest seemingly complete the group debated on continuing to explore the caverns.
