The party had already been traveling for two days now, following the path of the Merili River. The journey had gone on without incident so far, some of them familiar with the roads they had traveled up until now.
However, now their path had brought them to the base of the Hersius Mountains. It was common knowledge that one needed a guide to cross over them safely and timely. To their surprise however, after consulting their map Andrew had claimed to know a shortcut through the caves.
Letting him take the lead, he brought them north. And then south. And then for some inexplicable reason, west. After some protest they doubled back to the mountains, and began combing the edges in search of… whatever passage their client had been searching for.
After hours of searching, Andrew brushed aside some tree branches as he plowed his way through the underbrush.
“It’s over here guys, I found it!”The mercenaries gathered around him, and saw concealed behind the plants was a gaping maw in the earth. The opening to a massive cave stood before them, half sunken into the ground.
