Rumours of Brother Connor's absence in the town of Wynnesford spread around fast to our group of adventurers, yet their new Dwarf companion Bandus (after making a strange and, quite frankly, rude introduction) couldn't help but take up an offer from an ancient elven warlock named Oykron, who required the party's services for a trip to a secret cave after a recent earthquake struck the area.

Half a days journey later, the adventurers arrived at the cave, curiously making their way inside. Oykron gave them specific instructions to go without him and put all the gems in a bowl on the other side of a body of water, despite being met with suspicion. After a close call with a gem that lit Ekemon's bag on fire, and a bard that was miraculously saved from drowning by Bandus, the party made quick work of the monsters they had surprised on the other side.

However, things took a 180 when they realised that Oykron had sent them into a trap, and that by doing what he instructed they would potentially risk their lives. Confirming their suspicions, a gnome by the name of Brocc came out from hiding in the shadows, who had a peculiar interest in the glowing gems.

Deciding they wanted out, the party made their way back to the entrance, hoping to fool Oykron that the job was done. A tense conversation later, the elder elf decided to deal with the matter himself, realising these adventurers will not give their lives away for the greater good, asking that his last request be the party never reveal the location of the cave to anyone else, and that they wait by the entrance.

Going through with this change in plans, the party waited... when suddenly the cave when dark, and no magic was permitted temporarily. The gems shined once more, revealing Oykron struggling to return along the stone path, before being smashed against a rock and dragged asunder by an unknown threat. Making their escape, the party headed back for Wynnesford, camping out for the night with no travel guide to help them.

Waking up the next day, everything seemingly ok, the party continued down the route they remembered, until they were met with the warm smell and sight of their new home...
