Hero Cave joins the playable journey. Bring a light and a plan for the thing at the end.
Go down
Hero Cave is part of the playable Crownfall journey. Its four-act layout gives the descent a shape, rather than a string of rooms connected because we had another corridor piece.
The boss cavern and the route toward the vault have had collision work. A memorable encounter should be memorable for the creature, not the invisible ledge that stopped your feet.
Warrok waits
Warrok sits at the far end of that journey. Getting there asks you to bring the equipment and preparation you have been building on the surface.
The cave gives resources, combat and exploration a shared destination. It is a place to use the systems together instead of visiting a separate demonstration of each one.
A reason to come back up
Check your supplies before you enter. Leave enough room to bring something out. Underground trips have a habit of lasting longer than the optimistic version of the plan.
Later dungeon work expands to the other islands. This is where that part of the adventure starts: one island, one descent and something unpleasant waiting below it.
