• Uyoga - Tortle Druid (Circle of Spores).

• Darkyn - Wood Elf Druid (unknown circle). Born in Merathis, is part of the Hunter's Guild and gives worship to Silvanus.

• Grakka Boom - Orc Artificer (Armorsmith?). Born in Sundrakar, is part of the Artificer's Guild and worships Gork and Mork.

• Emeril LeGranger - Ranger.

• We start outside of Gildenmark in Grey Rest Port. Heavy military presence, mostly a mine city that's low on gold mines. Tavern is Saggy Bag. Ran by Kael Greymark. Owns many shops in the area. He is weathered.

  • We ask about the choice of drinks. He informs us that there's several but one for a decent coin. Grakka asks for Grog. Darkyn asks for a drink as well. The tavern keeper Kael asks what brings you to town. We replied adventure and good times. Kael states he has a mine he'd like to open back up and due to the vacancy being full at this tavern, recommended perhaps we could get room at another tavern for coin. We asked what happened at the mine and informed us that the miners have moved onto better paying mines.

• Emeril walked over to the table of 2 that were rolling dice and asked to join a roll of dice. One of the people rolling dice gets up to use the bathroom and the ranger took his place. They roll dice and Emeril wins and receives 5 gold. The person then says double or nothing. Emeril then states lets play for their room. Darkyn gives Emeril guidance and they end up persuading the person to play for it. Emeril lost. The ranger ends up getting the room in exchange for goodberries, cheese, and gold.

• Darkyn asks the tavernkeeper what other businesses does he own. He replied with multiple other businesses. We then bring up about the mine and he asks if were up for a days worth of work. There's a pair of silver dice that were stolen from him deep in the mine. Bring it back to him and he'll reward us.

• Grakka notices the ring on the tavern keeper. It was a band of runes that was a magic sigil. Darkyn asks to see the ring and the tavernkeeper informs us that its from his father. Darkyn then tries to cast detect magic but quickly realizes that its verbal and somatic so he steps away to try and cast. The tavernkeeper notices and asks what is he doing? After some back and forth, it gets pretty heated. Kargoth walks into the room and keeps an eye as to what's going on. The tavernkeeper dismisses the group that was drinking and requests Darkyn to come back with his friends.

• The tavernkeeper informs them that you have to be careful with magic here. The _______? society is searching for magical items and that's why he wants the silver dice back before the society finds it. Darkyn requests more information about the dice and the tavernkeeper informs that all the dice here are rigged for more money. The drinks are well so they could get better money from the gambling. The mine is a copper mine. Emeril asks about a salt mine or spices around here. The tavernkeeper states that a sweet clover grows around the mines.

• Grakka gets up and grabs his crossbow and walks out. He then walks back in and asks which way is the mines. The tavernkeeper gives a map towards the mines to him.

• Emeril checks the table where the group got up and if they left any valuables. One guy left a bag of coins in which the ranger took it. It had 19 gold and a moonstone comb. Uyoga states lets not take something that someone else owns. Emeril replies that if it was on the table and being exchanged with the gambling, who really truly owns it then?

• Grakka left for bits and gits but Darkyn informs him we will go there tomorrow and they go back to the tavern. On the way back, Grakka plops down a tent right outside the tavern. The maid notices him and gives him a wave and a wink.

• Korgath and Darkyn puts down their bedrolls in the room and the Ranger asks to cook in the kitchen. After a short conversation with the tavernkeeper and bar maid, he is able to make food in the kitchen.

• Grakka goes around and casting mending to fix things. The Tavernkeeper is amazed and gives him a gold coin for his services.

• The group then goes to sleep and wakes up the next morning. Emeril asks if there's a body of water nearby in which the tavernkeeper informs him that it is located the opposite way of the mine. The same 4 guys are back at their table but not playing. One of them is pissed cause their bag of gold and comb is gone but believes one of the 3 other guys took it.

• The group then head to the mine. We travel 45 minutes and notice the mine is close.

• The opening has a 40 ft tall crane at the entrance. The boom arm is no longer there. It is a straight down entrance with no apparent way down into it. We combine two ropes together and one end on to the Crane's base. Uyoga goes down first due to his weight in which the rope knot goes undone on him at the last 10 feet and he falls. Kargoth reties the knots properly and the group uses swiss seat knots and all go down.

• We start to walk to the north but some of us notice what sounds like spiders behind us. We realize that they seem to be avoiding the light from Flynn. We pocket the light to fight it. It ended up being a goblin boss on top of a spider in which we defeated it. We are in room 5, having whatever is coming from room 12 coming for us.
