Outside Advent at the Broken Nail Horse Ranch

Advent - missing horse quest
@Eileen, @LeRoy, @Igor, @Ruby, and Elora.
We are investigating the missing Buttercup (the horse) from the broken nail horse ranch.
Eilene sees a wolf. Elora sees a tree that has black tar coming from it. She panics and takes a sample. Eilene says that it's supernatural . Mentions books she read and LeRoy said what in the hell is a book. She explains its sliced up trees with words on it. Elora freaks out. Continue on following the trail for another mile or so. We find buttercup dead. We mourn then get jumped by two vine blights. Elora is immediately knocked unconscious. Eilene uses shocking grasp and attacks. Igor stitches up Elora’s head and spares the dying. LeRoy stabs the one on Elora. Ruby uses her sword as well. Eilene gets knocked down as well. Igor stitches up Eilene. LeRoy kills one vine blight and rushes over to try to kill the other. Igor is able to sneak attack the vine and LeRoy stabs it and kills the last one. Igor cures Elora and she heals Eilene. Elora discovers that the horse had its throat clawed or bitten out. She picks up the trail and we head out. We found a weird grave yard like thing and found the monster. It is a winged clawed goat man thing. Definitely unnatural. We begin wailing on it. Ruby slaughters it.
Elora gives Ruby the healing waters of her booby flask and heals her up to max. The creepy bushes are a concern now. The crag that the goat man came out of leads into a cavern system. We decided to set up a camp since it is evening. We try to find a good spot to set up camp but struggle to find a great place. Eilene reads the epitaphs on the gravestones and there isn't anything in particular that is interesting. Eilene finds the best place to camp with a strong sense of survival and hatred of mud. Igor keeps watch and feels a cool breeze, he sees dark shadows overhead but doesn't notice us. Elora takes the next watch and hears a skittering sound and wings, then 200 bats erupt out of the cave. They head out to feed. Nothing to see here. LeRoy and Ruby take the third watch. Eilene is putting on makeup. She sees a giant vulture circle the camp then it flies to the goat man corpse. Then it flies off again. Our long rest completes. We attempt to sneak but Ruby is quite noisy this time around. We enter the cavern and are ambushed by giant bats and little bats. They die and we hear a humming sound further up the tunnel. There is an altar with a marble floor. Elora touches it and all of her hair falls out. Eilene thinks it is from the Galdorean empire and is really old. Elora freaks out about her hair loss and touches the altar again. A flying mechanical thing with glasses appears and opens a book. It looks down at her and starts writing. Then it poofs back into nowhere. Elora makes a note of where this cavern is in her book and the party closes up the cavern. Elora has decided she needs fur for her ears at least and LeRoy agrees. Igor offers to help. We track down the dire wolf and kill it. His wolf friends are chasing us out of the forest. We head back to the Broken Nail and get paid.
