PRESENT: Torin
This thread may contain spoilers for all the other players.
... After ten years trip Torin reach the World Above in the Sword Mountains. He is traveling south because he thinks that way he can find the lost Lexicon of the Sagely Chameleon.
Due to his light sensitivity he prefers to travel from dusk to dawn and seek refuge in small towns or in the shade of woods (sometimes cliffs or even caves) for the daytime rest. He's crossed many villages on the road and took part on several festival nights, celebrations with poetry, music and songs and took care to jot down as many of these texts as possible.
One day he had a look at the many sheets of scribbled notes he'd collected and started to reorganise them in a clean textbook. After the first page had been assembled, a strange light of rainbow hues fell on the initials in front of the lines. He looked harder and from the initials he deciphered the word "Seer". Now, is that a coincidence? He quickly looked for all the texts that he collected the same night and after a bit of reorganisation he received this text:
"Of the young Seer's hand"
What may it be? Excited he continued the assembling of text day after day and finally got the following text:
"Guided by spells
Of the young Seer's hand
You're suffering pain
Only steel can stand"
He spent most of the next tenday in prayers, being certain that this must be a divine message. One night he dreamt of a strange place, full with glossy furniture and a glass table. Atop the table there was an ornate box floating mid-air. The box was opened by three people whose faces he couldn't make out. They retrieved a cylindrical object, much like a scroll case but waaaay thicker; it was about six inches in diameter opposed to the usual size of 1.5 to 2 inches. The cover was of fine leather and bore an inscription he couldn't make out.
The last thing he remembered from his dream was a lady's soft voice echoing in his mind: "Find the Seer of Visions beneath the Waterdhavian sewers."
That's how he ended up in the sewers of Waterdeep and after a long fight through tunnels infested by kobolds, gnolls and monstrous humanoids with eagle heads and sorcerer powers; he discovered a ruin that must have been of dwarven origin.
There he stood, guided by the Lorekeeper's messages.
Fortunately he has got the proper tool to the ruins. He got his adamantine morningstar and carefully started to clean the corridor.
A hammer or a pick would've certainly done a better job but with some meticulous labour Torin managed to move some rocks to find a peephole through the rubble. As much as he could tell there seemed to be a corridor running west-east on the other side of the rubble. However, the stones were too loose and if he'd continued digging more of the ceiling may have collapsed and filled what had just been cleaned up previously.
