Leto meets us at the gate. Wants gold to join us. Decides that a share is good enough. Reach the area where Dumas says it should be, swampy and thick. Encountered empty campsites nearby.

After some searching we discover the cave entrance, giant door that has been smashed. Can't tell which direction it was smashed from. While camping 5 swamp gobbers walk past us. Artificer awakens Dook. Gobber has Small Studded leather, filled waterskin, small poor shortsword (scrapped), and rat jerky. Caitlyn takes 1.5 hours to get ready. Artificer power ups various party members.

Found a face in stone that seems to be a navigation map, for constellations. Found a bronze plaque with a symbol on it of Hammers and a city skyline with a ghost above it. Corvis smithy guild icon. Found a bag with G.W. on the tie string. Gunsmithing tools, gemcutting tools, carving tools, etc.

Fought a squid. It tried to hurt Tolmek, and Caitlyn didn't like that.

Fought a cave wort, does acid dmg. Annoying little mold.

Dook finally paid Caitlyn the 1gp he owed her.

Find a cowering gobber, Borken Hecanican, is scared. Knows where the treasure of the witch girl is. Alexia went to the smelly boxes and took the four grey women.

Find four skeletons outfitted each with a breastplate and battleaxe with strange heraldry. Tirotin doesn't know what the heraldy is.

Brass plagues with names of four witches. Dozen beeswax candles are arranged around the caskets. Fine red powder glyphs. Spool of thick black thread and needle. Faint trace of necromancy energy still present.

There was treasure in a corner. Shiny treasure. It was a ring.

We made the Gobber go into the water after the shiny stuff that was there. It was a blackened steel dagger with copper runes (magical, faint enchanment, medium-sized).
