Questing
The group tries to decide their next move.
Book reveals that there are signs of an otyugh down below building 7C and reminds everyone about the owlbear or owlbears in the hole in the stables. Book and Tempest investigate the large sinkhole and Book determines that it is just a natural sinkhole. The group decides to collapse the stables on top of the small hole so that if the owlbears try to come up, they'll have to dig their way out. Then, the group will rest in 7B. Nora consults her circlet to see if this is a good plan.
Nora's circlet glows and she has a vision of a herd of antelope running into a deep ravine and dying. She reveals this to the group.
Tempest hypothesizes that this may mean that everyone in the party will be fine. She then continues to hypothesize about the consequences of collapsing a building (10 xp to Brandy) and how that might attract all of the owlbears at once. Merry says we should camp in the officer's quarters and set the dogs on watch. The group decided not to collapse the stables in.
Ugly does curls with Merry & Book to show that he can carry them both (10 xp for Running with Gnomes). The party camps out and they get 8 hours of rest in the middle of the day, undisturbed.
The party descends through the trap door, with Ugly going first. Merry decides to leave his dog at the top of the trap door. Merry descends down the trap door next and pulls out his sun rod. The rest of the group follows. Book says that the "signs of otyugh" are stronger straight ahead. The party slowly creeps forward into the room until they encounter... an otyugh!
Otyugh Battle!
Ugly charges the otyugh and does 19 damage!
Tempest shoots it in the eye for 6 damage.
Mahina summons a medium viper!
Nora cheers Ugly and Tempest on into battle.
Ugly cleaves the otyugh in half and it dies.
Exploring the Underground Caverns
The group searches the cells, but finds nothing more than scratches on the walls, so they continue on through the door to the West. There are two tunnels that have been dug through the stone walls to the North and West that look not too old and very well used. Book searches the room and finds a secret door! It leads into a secret torture room that hasn't been used in generations. Hey, this would be a great camping spot!
The group goes back to the East and takes the Eastern-most path, where they encounter an archway with a kneeling figure above it. Book and Merry agree that it's religious, but otherwise have no idea what it is. The hallway beyond is dusty and the mortar between the bricks is crumbling.
The party continues on but Nora lags behind, as she is angry because she feels she was ignored during the religious discussion. Tempest stays behind Nora as she is on rear duty for the group.
They spot another carving on the wall. Tempest attempts to convince Nora to move closer to the group, without much progress.
