After our battle with Denthoum, I ask Raskin if he found anything, which he didn't. I throw a rock down the chasm where Denthoum came from. Before I throw it Malaphor just goes down on the side and then Raskin jumps down after him casting featherfall on himself, which he could have done on all of us so we could all go down...
After a minute or so Raskin starts shouting that there's creatures and they both need help. Ape gets me in his menagerie box and jumps down, lets me out next to a creature and he kills it with a lightning lance.
I find in a fancy chest a beautiful folded gown made of very white creamish material that is see-through. Elven of make? Not magical, just well crafted. Maybe a good gift for Eya?

Sky Stone in the middle, has rune carved into it. When invoked, can cast Hold Person, Speak With Plants, Aura of Vitality. Can be invoked twice before long rest.
We decide to take a short rest before venturing through the tunnel Ape unveiled by breaking the rubble.
As we get through about 600 feet or so later, we see a platform in the middle of a darker grey stone, circular. In the centre, dug into it a big metallic cauldron, emanating a thick green fume. A strange creature next to it. Green and round, 2 eyes, frog mouth, horns above each eye, 4 tentacles from it's back with open eyes on them. Muttering something under its breath stirring a big spoon.
Ape and Raskin approach the creature, it floats down and looks friendly somehow and gestures for them to go with it to the cauldron. Austar tells Raskin that there are religious symbols belonging to "Laogzed", similar symbol to that on one of Raskin's rings. He shows the ring and the creature gets more excited.
Ape attacks the creature and a battle ensues. 3 creatures appear that we fought off in the earlier cave that Raskin and Malaphor got attacked by.
During the battle, more of the smaller creatures appear slowly starting to over run us.
Thankfully a huge burst of damage from Raskin causes the creature to go blind which gives us some time to recoup and we manage to kill the creature and the smaller ones suddenly go lax and retreat back into the water.
