The associates first explored a flooded area with an island in the middle. We discovered that the flooded area was being defended by a weakened tidal master, a strong elemental that outclassed the party who didn't have good ways to deal with it. Tidal Masters are powerful elementals that take less damage from fire, acid, and probably physical weapons as well. They can control the waters around them, making swimming near them difficult. We are unsure if there are other creatures in the lake.

We moved to a different area of the caves, and encountered five silk-tailed beetles, who ambushed us in a valley. The beetles were able to fling their barbs in 15 foot cones, and could poison us with their barbs. Bodrukk murdered one with a terrific blow from his great pick. Bodrukk and Cutter were poisoned, while we learned that Vreal was immune to poison completely. The poison caused Bodrekk to become confused and swing at Vreal, who took it badly.

We continued forward down a rock scree that led to a narrow passage. We pitoned down the scree, after a couple fell, and squeezed through the passage. On the other side an abandoned elite wooden golem was guarding a staircase down. We spent three hours going down and found ourselves in a dimly lit cavern filled with mushroom trees. The cave was lit from above by milky white crystals that baffled even Little Leaf. There was a large lift nearby that we could use in the future to get in and out. We gathered some samples from the nearby plants, and left up the stairs.

The cavern was huge, too far to see across, we have found our way into the Darklands.
