Неизвестно headquarters are now officially on the map, though their existence is not yet confirmed. A decent report from a Guild Scout who was saved to boot regarding the Avenue and the basics of their existence. This means likely an escalation on the part of Avenue of the Cosmos against the guild and increased patrols at the pyramid.
Loose ends: the Pyramid is not fully explored, nor are the catacombs; what's up with the guild scout?
Participants: Captain Seneca Aurelius, Ruun, Dolen Harven, and Hurggrek Valkorn
Locations: Scouts' Graveyard, Avis River, Underwater Pyramid
Full report:
Our party set out towards the shore, propelled by a report of a strange metal shape, delivered to us by the faithful Explorers' Guild scouts. The path was long, and perhaps misguidedly we decided to take a shortcut through an Неизвестно-infested catacombs.
Before we had even reached the gates, we were attacked! Giant, Undead hands sporting eyes leaped from the underbrush to attack us. Ha! They were no match for our blades, and we dispatched them with great ease. In the morn, we journeyed forth, reaching the gates and slaying a foul creature who guarded them: an Undead gardener! The catacombs proved more challenging though, and the many days we spent within were arduous and nightmarish.
We stumbled across a gruesome scene of... Undead? Constructs? Even now, I cannot recall. Regardless, they were bronze, frozen in an ancient revel, presided over by a Ghoulish dead king, and the touch of the revellers burned. As we slew them, they congregated into one great creature of bronze, which we slew as well. The rest of the trek through the catacombs was dark, if eerie. Those tunnels could warrant further investigation. Either way, a few long days later, we arrived at our destination: the shore.
I, being prepared to swim, allowed the party to breathe beneath the waves, and thus we swam to the great pyramid beneath the waves. Tall, dark, and nigh-incomprehensible, a great gash poured a shimmering light from the sunken pyramid's belly. We entered through this breach, and came across a startling lack of vibrating pirates, but also a campsite of some sort. Advancing further in, we passed a number of houses along a great highway, all filled with unaware Undead, mindlessly staring at naught but emptiness.
As we proceeded however, another great metal beast thundered down the way, attacking us, as well as drawing the hordes of Undead to the field. Though we dispatched both the metal creature and the Undead easily, we encountered what remained of a guild scout, perhaps Fleshwarped, perhaps turned into a cruel mockery of life. Who is to say? More research must be done, both on them, and the pyramid beneath the waves.
