Mare, Itinerantur 7th, 1193 (continued)
We arrive to a set of ruins that have clearly be overcome by nature. We decide to investigate just enough to bed down for the evening. Samjogo stops Graynor for walking into a bear trap and we look around the main room and find:
- Barrels 10x
- Cooking Kit
- Heat Stone
- Vial
- Larger Vial
We here a noise in the night, but it appears to go away after we are all awake. A short time later, the noises resume. This time we head outside to investigate and find a kobold and two goblins. Kobolds are interested in traps of all sorts, perhaps this explains the bear trap.

We also find a secret door with a staircase leading down. There is a stone ring on the wall with a strange writing on it. After searching, Graynor notices that the ring rotates and a silver shimmery surface appears over the ring. A rock tossed into the ring doesn’t appear on the other side. After much discussion, we toss food, then ourselves through the gate. Runes appear periodically throughout this strange new area. Sand blows across the ground forming miniature dunes.
We rest that evening in the temple. We are assaulted on 3rd watch and after a stunning series of victories by the goblins and kobolds, they drag Graynor’s lifeless body out of the temple.

It takes a few hours, but the party is able to track down the trail of these bandits.
