Timeline Summary

Rosalie, Luci, Thurt'gog Burtbog, Jakob, Mortimer, Lucas, and Enos meet up on a small island in the Rose Islands. An explosion goes off, and a man is injured. The group rescues him, and he reveals he's searching for treasure. They head into the hole he made, with Luci knocking him out so he doesn't follow and hurt himself further. They explore the uncovered cavern, leaping down a pit. Lucas and Jakob use Tincture of Icarus to fly down. They discover ruins in the caves, with serpent carvings and the remains of ancient eggs. They deduce this may have once been the home of a snake-worshipping cult. A trap springs in the staircase, splitting the group up. Lucas gets trapped and injures his leg, but Enos frees him.

The group reaches a pool of water full of dead bodies. Enos heads in to investigate, and learns the bodies aren't as old as the ruins appear to be. They find mummified eels and a gem with the corpses, the latter of which Luci pockets. They head onward to a large, partially flooded room. Lucas flips out about how shitty things have been lately. They take some artifacts and find a mostly collapsed section that seems to connect to the ocean. An enormous eel emerges from the water and attacks. Enos mounts the eel and rides it like a bull. Thurt gathers treasure while most of the group fights the eel. Lucas prepares to plant a bomb, against the urging of Rosalie and Luci for him to stop. Everyone's actions start smashing up the area, causing further flooding, just as the eel flees back into the water. They pursue with ranged attacks, and finally kill the beast.

They continue on, and reach a shrine. Luci patches up her exposed wiring from the fight, and Rosalie gets angry about Luci never telling her she wasn't human. Enos says it isn't Luci's fault that Rosalie was blind to this, as everyone else knew already. Rosalie just wants to understand, and have people be honest. She holds a pity party for herself. While Jakob flies up and looks for a way out, Mortimer tries to reason with Rosalie. Thurt pleads for Jakob to not leave him behind with the others and their craziness. Jakob gets a rope ladder from the injured man at the entrance, and sends it down for everyone. Luci pulls Rosalie out of the cave, and Rosalie fixes her arm in return. Mortimer speaks with the injured man about his reasons for searching for the cave, which his father died exploring. Everyone heads off their own ways, deeming this island weird.


Notes

  • This was originally set on the island of Fisher's Vale, but this was retconned by staff after it was deemed that the caverns in the RP did not fit there.
  • Only appearance of Thurt'gog "Thurt" Burtbog, as Jared replaced him with George Brunnell.
