Once the creature scurried away into the darkness Rangrim advanced to look at the cavern roof for signs of movement. He could tell that some of the rock formations were out of place. Qaloh decided to look at the pile of material near the boulder and saw they were remains, some looked fresh while others were mere bones of humans and humanoids. Qaloh grabbed into the pile at some coins that were discovered. "Gold and platinum and silver!" Then 2 creatues fell from the ceiling and missed and were dispatched in a chaotic fashion. Attempting to zero in on additional threats Rangrim was guiding Wichard to shoot what he thought were more creatures hidden in the rocks above. The arrows missed and skipped off of the formations. Qaloh then decided to dash across the cavern in an attempt to make for the exit.
A third creature autorotated to the ground in an attack landing on Qaloh, its tentacles wrapping around him and its beak piercing his leather armor. Rangrim and Wichard attempted to free Qaloh from the creature without success. Then Qaloh managed to pry the creature away and felt extreme pain as the barbed beak was finally extracted. The creature was quickly dispatched with the fourth creature who missed its initial attack.
The party left their fallen comrade and found shelter in a cavern with a fresh water stream. The party proceded to another cavern where they encountered a band of 8 goblins searching for a shaman and fellow tribe members stollen from their village. Each party stood against the other making gestures of violence. Grix, the leader of the Blood Moon goblins made a gesture of peace and both groups decided to work together but made it clear that the dwarf was to not get too close to any of the goblins. Both groups marched separately with Wichard walking with the goblins to build trust.
Walking for another 20 minutes the large party approached a cavern shrouded in an incandescent blue light with grunting and a foul gutteral language being spoken which masked the sound of their movement. They could see the prisoners, both humans and goblins, sitting under a statue of some alien creature with humanoids guarding them. The humanoids had claws for hands and were blue skinned except for the leader which had tentacles for arms and squid like facial features. As the group advanced the goblins could no longer hold back and decided to give a war cry and charge. As the party also engaed the melee saw half of the goblins fall and all but 2 of the alien creatures, who quickly withdrew into the deep water inside the cavern.
The goblins have made Qaloh and Wichard honorary members for helping save their shaman. The shaman also healed the wounds of Qaloh who had not recovered from his wounds 3 hours previously.
The party opened a chest and 2 strong boxes and the goblins reclaimed their tribes treasure chest. In one of the strong boxes was the Eye of Zo-Kalar, an artifact sought by the sage Valkyor. The dwarf Rangrim being curios touched the eye and saw visions of another world, a monster rising from the ocean, and traveled across space and time then fell to Oerth. The party has Gold, Platinum, Gems, a potion, 2 scrolls, and a map written is some strange language that shows a marked spot on a map.
The party returned to the ship and was informaed that the artifact will be loaded and returned to Monmurg after the sage was done gathering information from it.
The party accompanied the pack bearers to the warehouse where they encountered the Black Moon Thieves guild. The guild master is aware of your accomplishments as the pack bearers were his spies. He offers training for you to get to 2nd level. The party will spend 2 weeks training to reach 2nd level.
