Plot:
What is the greatest fear of men? Pain? Death? Defeat? Some would say the unknown, for in the unexplored reaches of this world mind distorting horrors lurk. A hole amongst the canyons of Kuma no Kuni is an example of such a locale. This hole reaches deep into the earth, a seemingly endless darkness waiting within. Mayhap the most unsettling feature of the hole are screeches protruding into the lands at irregular intervals. The guttural cries are unlike any thing ever heard, the sound ringing through the eardrums, impossible to identify or associate with any known creature.
A group of adventurers ventured down into the hole but only a single survivor rose and returned to Mitsubachi, the capital of Kuma no Kuni. Now almost a hermit, he spouts seemingly incoherent phrases, but an astute scholar by the name of Etsabushi Toryaku pieced together the words into what appears to be a description of what rests within that hole. Ruins from an unknown time.
The description goes as follows:
As one delves deeper into the hole the rugged terrain of nature fades and is replaced by light brown walls. A closer inspection of the walls reveals a multitude of symbols and drawings. The symbols are mere tribal shapes drawn by the artistically challenged, but the drawing are a bit more frightening. Pictures of tentacled creatures span the walls, their face in the shape of a triangle and covered in five eyes. Deeper downward, a bit of writing covers the wall, the same word written repetitively. Kh’arlagh What this Kh’arlagh is? None known, and one must explore these ruins fully to discover. The screeching of…things continues with each step growing louder and louder
The hole continues downward for nearly a mile before opening into a large room where the screeching is combined with the chanting of the word seen before. Kh’arlagh. The room is lit by multiple torches of a rather unusual colour, a dim blue. The blue spreads through the room revealing three unexplored passages. Here the exploration of the adventurers came to an end after they were attacked by those creatures of horrors, tentacles and five eyes. This is where the knowledge of the ruins ends, or rather, all that the scholar Etsabushi Toryaku could piece together from the insane ramblings of the single survivor.
The remaining parts of the ruins remain shrouded in the unknown. Brave souls will have the opportunity to venture into the depths.
Location: Land of Bears
Rules:
• Open to all Ninja and Non Ninja
• You can form multiple groups to explore the ruins within the hole or even search alone, but it will be far more dangerous when going solo.
• All Site Rules Apply
• If a BM says you are dead, you are dead.
IIC Length:2 Days.
Prize(s):The prize varies. Many things can be found within the hole in addition to the 12,000 Ryo per person.
NPC's:
The Hole is a place of many horrors, but it is a mostly unexplored wretched, abyss. Only the brave souls who venture within can see what monstrosities truly lurk.
But two figures are revealed. Two men, and when spoken to, they shall unravel a bit of information! The first more than the second, surely.
