Into the Dark

 4th day in the 4th month 1372

The heroes delved into the dungeons beneath Tandis for the first time in months. They sought Jean of Manglian, the missing knight. Visefrin communed with the gods and learned that Jean was alive, but held captive by one in Golden Robes. 

Into the fifth deep they trod and went further down into the 6th level. There they met the shade of an ancient wizard who posed to them a riddle, promising riches if they were correct and death if they weren't. They gave an incorrect answer and were enveloped by a wicked blast of ice that killed Taran and several hirelings. Thankfully, the mighty Visefrin restored life to the magic user. 

They abandoned their query and returned to the court of Chaos. A massive 7-headed hydra burst into the chamber as they made their escape. 

In the downtime that followed Sybael petitioned the lord for a homestead. Throy told the elf that if he were to distinguish himself at the coming tourney, the lord may grant him such an honor. 

Wellborn made good progress in fabricating ink suitable for scribing magic scrolls. All that was needed still was the medium, likely the ink of a giant squid. 

Heironymous continued work on the potions distilled from the blood of the Frost Giants.
