After some unplesant climbing and work, Saul and Darius recover the pyrotrice! The hard work paid off, it's body limp when you get to it. While some feathers are ruined, seven are still quite viable. At least a few of those should make excellent quills, Saul thinks.
OOC - Take what you want and describe if you're doing any more searching or prodding about.
Saul searchs the pyrotrice, looking in particular for any unusual quills! He's heard that the creatures possess an individual red quill each, or the like- possibly, the unique feather will be more potent than a common one.
Additionally, he tries to recall what other uses a dead pyrotrice might serve a mage with.
*Darius leaves the looting of the corpse to Saul and heads in to check the cave for anything of use, tossing a comment a comment to Saul as he heads in.
"Hey, Saul, grab some of those feathers for me.. I'll probably get the head when I come out."

No good on that - the quill in question was damaged. It might be salvagable for al esser purpose, however, only some of the right side is torn off.
OOC - Make an int check on that, Saul. +1

The cave goes back a little ways. There isn't much of note - just dripping water and a smell of moldy stone.

OOC: Passssed.
Frowning, Saul gathers it up anyway, along with the seven usable feathers, carefully placing them in an envelope.

Ingredients in fire resistance potions and various fire related spells/items. Pretty much what you'd expect.

*Darius returns from a quick a look into the cave.
"Eh, nothin' there. Want me 'ta check any 'a the others?"
Saul tsks, producing a knife and a bag, and starts to go about the grisly business of gathering up those materials that might be useful for such endeavours.
The price of being a mage...
"Mmm, I'll be a while with this stuff," says Saul, hands quickly bloodied by the work. "If you run into something, give me a yell."

"Sure thing."
*Darius heads towards the other caves, looking for signs of recent use by the creature(s), and searches what caves he can get to.
OOC - This'll take some work with rope climbing, Darius. Many of the caves are above body level, remember. You okay with that - it'll take some time and there's a slight risk ofa fall unless you have more advanced climbing gear on you.

OOC- That's cool. I got like 43 HPs worth of falling I can do. ;)
OOC - Make a cumulative dex check +3. Post the roll from #mk or #dunes.

Passage. Dex: 17
Darius has time to explore five caves. They tend towards the same pattern - not too deep in, limestone weathered away. Several has small collected puddles of pure water.
OOC - Are you going to search these seriously? If so, roll for it, since it's a lot of caverns and they're all about the same.

Yeah, might as well search them.

One of the caves as a moldy old blanket in it. On searching, you find a long since rusted knife, a salvagable silver tankard coin(1 SP), and that's it. Looks like someone camped out here a very long time ago. Odd, since it's thirty feet from the ground level.

*Darius pockets the coin and heads back to Saul, then back to the city with him.
Note the coin on your sheet or in the loot topic. Whichever, it's a free drink! I think we're done here. Nice little fight.
