Palace of Paroxysmus

The acid-proof rope had rested for several weeks inside the wooden crate in the pirate cottage, since Andrej Pike had acquire the necessary recipe to craft it. Today was the day to try it out! Sharkeye and his companion Va'lis traveled to the jungle north of Papua and stood in front of the entrance of the Palace of Paroxysmus. They needed the acid-proof rope to be able to enter through a huge sinkhole and work their way into the dungeon beneath the Lost Lands.
They followed a large river of highly corrosive acid winding through the caves, which were filled with acid elementals, poison elementals, slimes, plague beasts and other plague spawns.

At the western part of the dungeon, they found a strange decayed underground village. However, today this village was mostly inhabitated by succubi, daemons and balrons. No place for a breakfast!

Further down the dungeon Sharkeye saw for the first time the Interred Grizzle. So this was where it dwelled! Sharkeye and Va'lis had become tired from all the fighting, and so they decided to leave the dungeon again. They hadn't reached the palace this time, the home of the daemon prince, the Chief of Paroxysmus. But they planned an adventure with the pirate crew in the new future to explore the area more thoroughly.

The Palace of Paroxysmus somehow had caused a depressing feeling in the adventurers's heards. They felt a relief when they finally left the dungeon and filled their lungs with the fresh air of the Lost Lands again.
