Cold Caves - Entrance, part 1.
Dear Journal,
Large group of us went to Cold Caves to find magical treasures they hold.
It's very long and dangerous trip so i didn't intend to make it full way. I warned the team.
We went few levels in and deep, past gypsy camp occupied by infected gnolls, cold cave entrance, small ogre maze, ice-spider-filled cold crypts, and into large ogre maze.
One fight i considered noteably life-threatening.
My spell energies were running dangerously low, so i decided to retreat invisibly hoping that they won't smell me as i pass past them in cold, wet, dark, in places narrow and tangled web of corridors.
In cold crypts i had to meditate in half lotus position (not only mind's), letting spell energies return, hoping i won't freeze (deeper was too cold for rest), nor that spiders come back. I was lucky.
I got lost on way back, so i opened too many doors, but i did close them before they did notice me. Hopefully other adventurers won't suffer because of this.
Finally i found rope up and way out.
Perhaps someday i'll be ready to go through all of the ogre maze and onward.
-- Yours, Chea Allin, adventuress.
P.S. Ogre Shamans' physique makes them highly resistant to body-affecting aspect of a 'Phantasmal Killer' spell. But i got one lesser ogre kill still with it.
