			=== 4. Lost in the caves ===
			If the players fall into the river they will be sucked under water until the stream spits them out in a cave system far beneath the surface. The Truemmerelster is with them if there are just 3 Players in the party.

			They find out that their rations have been damaged. They can take a long rest now or never, before the rations are destroyed. With cooking supplies you may save some.

			Goal: Find the Temple of [[Baphomet]] through the labirinth (If you have a Minotaur in the group skip this phase.

			Make Survival Checks DC 12: You need 3 successes. After 3 rolls a Minotaur will attack you in the caves. (Meaning you always have to face one Minotaur). These minotaurs can be tricked though or evaded creatively. Creative ideas are wanted here.

			=== 5. Temple of Baphomet ===
			The players enter the temple of Baphomet. On the walls signs can be seen (Abyssal: ''"In the hunt we seek truth, in blood spill our self we'll find - The beast within for beast we are! Hail [[Baphomet]], Hail [[Baphomet]]!".'' Religion DC 12: [[Baphomet]], Demonprice of the Abyss).

			f the heroes fell into the river they will start in the south-east of the map, if they managed to beat everything and walked down the path north-west of the first leyer, they will start in the south-west of the following map.
