FORGOTTEN CAVE. This out-of-the-way cave is quite dry and seems to
have been used as a camping site at some time in the past, for there
is the remains of a small fire in a circle of rocks. A natural
chimney is present in the eight foot ceiling, ideal for carrying away
smoke and providing natural ventilation and freedom from the stink of
the sewer.
A
large leather satchel is near the south wall. It holds a sketchbook,
ink bottles with dried-up ink, worn quill pens, three paper packets,
and a wooden scroll case.
The
sketchbook is in good condition and contains pictures of local
plants, animals, and several monsters that the adventurers should
recognize from the dungeon. The plant and animals are drawn as seen
in nature, while the monsters are almost all drawn post-mortem. The
book is signed “Longilius Oldstone” and is about two-thirds of the
way finished. The value of the remaining parchment is 40 gold
crescents, but the book could be sold for as much as 200 gold
crescents for its artistic merits.
The
packets of paper hold mistletoe, each enough for the casting of a
spell. This should be regarded as “borrowed mistletoe” for the
purposes of druidic spell casting.
The
scroll case holds a scroll with the druid spells Detect
Snares & Pits
and Speak With
Animals.
The case is itself worth 4 silver spanners.
What happened to
the druid and why he left his goods here is a mystery.
