The Incandescent Grotto

·111 words·1 min

A sunken pool leading to a series of caves. At least part of the complex appears to be a trogolodyte temple, complete with actual trogolodytes. There is a source of moss that allows water breathing, and crystals that have a kind of enthralling effect. Human bandits and kobolds may also lair within, and a mysterious pair of skeletons guard a pair of doors within the complex.

The trogolodytes have found some sort of puzzle box that they cannot open. It has a riddle:

"Mountains might,
Armies blight,
King's conceit,
Nobles meet."

We found a dwarf and a frog prince held captive here by the trogolodytes. The dwarf tragically died in captivity.
