At Dieter's suggestion (and because the LL is getting impatient), the party heads leftward.

It doesn't take long before you reach another intersection, this time with three branches. No sound nor air currents are detectable from any of the passages, no matter how hard you pay attention. Acquaire states that she's kind of tired and hungry.

BTW, I didn't make this clear earlier but you left your horses at the cave mouth -- they didn't want to head down the stairs. So you're all on foot.

Dieter - Mage

We should rest. Do we do it here or back at the cave mouth? I would prefer the latter.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes agrees, "Yes, let's rest. I think better with a full belly, and we need to let the lady rest too." He smiles at Acquire and motions toward the main cavern.

"I won't turn down a little rest," Castinus says in agreement. "Running from white dragons is exhausting."
Get thee to the dungeon. Get thee to the dungeon forthwith. Pass not the barbican. Amass not 200 GP.

"I could use some rest too. I think the entrance will be a safer place than in here."

Dieter - Mage

Dieter will snoop around the entry cave area to see if there is a suitable place he might be able to deploy his fort.

The party wends the way back to the entrance cave, where the horses are. Passing the face at the entrance to the tunnel you'd been exploring it once again intones the warning about being the wrong way.

The entrance cavern is large. You can see a snowstorm outside and the icicles on the cave mouth look like fangs. The flakes are large and dense: it is impossible to see far. Luckily, by some arcane arrangement, the interior is relatively warm, as though the howling wind beyond the hole to the outside world cannot intrude.

The horses seem happy to see you. Horace is chomping at the bit for Castinus' company.

Dieter looks around but there's no way in tarnation that the fortress will be able to deploy here: the roof isn't high enough. He gives it a shot anyway and the magic box makes a *fizz* sound, like it wants to deploy but cannot, as if the magic that governs it won't let it open in this cavern (perhaps not in any cavern or indoor space).

Any last things before bed? Any new spells for the morn?

Dieter - Mage

OCC: Dieter relearns lightning bolt. Instead of relearning fireball he'll go with slow. He'll also exchange arcane eye with fumble.
OCC: The wand of poylmorph that Dieter has, is that self or other or both?

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes stares at the outside spectacle. "It's gettin' worse, boys. This thing is playing for keeps. We've got to get to the bottom of this." He slowly eats, staring outside with a sad look on his face.

OOC: Grimes will rest up, making small talk through the evening, and making sure Aquire is comfy. he'll take whatever guard shift he's needed on.
