More Explorations

by Shyrene Windheart

The first day was eventfully, with us disturbing a hag by collecting resin for incense, which we then left behind. Then a fire elemental confused when the earthsingers extracted obsidian from veins in a beautiful ravine. All in all, I wonder about my companions habits to take from environment so hastily.
The next day we started off in a lizardfolk village, but this one has stone structures. Chieftess Nassuri of the Stone Lizards asked us to look after a child that wandered away from the mines toward forbidden ruins. In questioning the other children, we determined he liked to climb.
 
Himo and I found tracks leading up into the mountain to a small, frequently used camp. Beyond that, the trail went cold. I noticed the ruins while we searched for the trail, and made our way up to it. It the courtyard of the ruin we awoke a stone golem which we dealt with promptly. Inside we ran into zombies and traps and a minotaur and a mummy, along with a pillar of lights. The pillar appears to be a control station for magical barriers elsewhere in the complex. The souls of the dead are congregating around Geode.
