Day 24 - The caves

It was a grey, overcast, misty, even drizzly day.

We packed up our camp and claimed individual horses left by the brigands the day before. Gaius chooses a white horse while Raine's is as black as night. She proudly named her horse "Mercedes".

Urthek told us about a cache of weapons hidden in a nearby cave system. He said thats where they found the weapons they are all carrying. One of the men offered to let Talia keep the battle axe she used from the night before, but she kindly refused, not wanting to disarm a friend. Chupa did keep the long sword he used last night. I kept a crossbow after Raine promised she would make more bolts in a few days. We decided to explore the caves and stock up on weapons from the cache.

We travel for several hours until we come to the entrance of the cave system. Urthek gives us directions back to their village and cheerfully departs. We stowed our belongings (including my crate and Tasha's chest) in a carefully hidden hollow under some rocks and trees, then rein the horses near the entrance.

And, for the first time in my life, I climbed deep underground.
