🌋 The Cavern in the Volcano

As the new day dawned, Vixon gathered his band of volunteers and they set off for the top of the volcano. They left the safety of the town behind in the early hours of the morning, made their way to the volcano and slowly made their way up the treacherous mountainside, forced to take several detours around active streams of flowing lava. The sun was high in the sky when the party finally found the small yet distinct opening that Vixon remembered so clearly and visited nightly in his dreams.

The group took a short pause just inside the opening to gather themselves in the heat of the day and the volcano itself. Vixon rallied them, "The egg has grown warmer to the touch and the pulses have grown stronger! It senses the nest and longs to be reunited. We are close and must press on, and while the climb was hard, these tunnels present their own challenge. These tunnels create a labyrinth and it is easy to get lost. Luckily, on my last trip here, I marked each fork that I took with this symbol on the wall with a chisel and hammer: △. We will look for it and all will be well." 

The group made its way deeper and deeper into the maze... After dozens of forks, splits, twists and turns, the party came to a standstill. Fear grew amongst the party -- they were going to get lost in here with no end in sight! Several hours later, the party came to a complete standstill: there was a split in the tunnel and... no marking was to be found! 

Exclamations of frustration and despair echoed through the tunnel but Vixon kept his calm.

"I will take half of the party down the tunnel on the left, and the rest of you will go down the tunnel to the right.  Who will lead the others in my place?"

A young woman with pointed ears stepped forward -- "I will."

"Very well, Vespera. Take time and care to mark the tunnels so you can find your way out. We will reunite on the outside. Have heart and take care!" With that, Vixon took a small group and they disappeared into the darkness on the left.

The other group went right... and encountered yet another fork in the tunnels, not more than a few minutes later. With Vespera at the helm, they decided to keep going right and marked the tunnel walls accordingly. After about another hour, the tunnel opened up into a giant cavern that was lit by the hot glow of lava. It was by the light of magma that the adventurers discovered... paintings?

The walls of the cavern were strewn with illustrations of dragons! The adventurers marveled at the beauty and detail of each one. Towards the center of the cavern, they noticed two dragons, painted larger and more clearly than the rest. 

The adventurers marveled at their findings but noted the absence of any nest.

Out of the corner of her eye, Vespera noticed a perfectly circular hole in the very center of the cavern, just wide enough for one to squeeze through...

Greetings, fellow traveler! I am Vixon and I invite you to join me on my trip to the Flamefall Cascades area tomorrow.

Growing up we have all heard the stories about the dragons of old, but as you know, no one has actually seen a dragon since the Great War. As time has passed, the dragons have become the objects of myths and legends...

A few weeks ago, the tallest volcano in Flamefall Cascades rumbled and spewed more lava, ash and dust into the sky than anyone had ever seen before! I explored the area in search of new artifacts for my collection and found myself drawn to the top of the volcano. There, I found a small opening and path that appeared to have been carved into the mountainside with tools and intention. I ventured deeper and found a labyrinth of tunnels and caves that sprawled endlessly! After several hours of exploring, I stumbled upon a pulsing egg laying within just a couple of feet of what appeared to be a nest... 

I puzzled over the egg and decided that I would return to town with it. In the weeks since, the egg has grown dull and seems to yearn for the volcano. Dreams of the nest haunt me every night...

So... fellow adventurer... will you answer the call and join me on my quest to return this egg to the nest in the Flamefall Cascades tomorrow?
