We wake up and get some food, then report for our shift. It looks like no one else has come here, the rest have left probably due to seeing the other groups coming back as gibbering idiots.

With only five of us, we find it stressful to watch the entire perimeter of the wall.  We decide to go in to the scarred region and find a chest with a bunch of gold. We also find a magical pouch with an hour’s worth of breathable air, and later a huge number of fist-sized gems.

As we come into the inn we are attacked by a group of orcs. We defeat them but they were difficult foes. They were carrying daggers and wearing leather armor, and one carried a halberd. We search the place and can’t find anything of use.

Another building next to the inn has a room with a large skeleton wearing thick armor and holding a giant battle axe. Belgha uses his lizard familiar to check it out, it seems empty. He crawls inside and sees that there are red runes all over the inside. We find that is is a guardian armor that would activate to defend the room, and the runes are currently inactive. Lennon could re-activate them if we needed. Fianna takes the great axe that the armor is holding and replaces it with her old one.

In the basement we come across a spirit. He says “Bear one, come with me.” and walks through the nearby wall. Miri follows him and goes right through the wall. The rest us only feel solid wall. Miri sees what looks to be a wizard and alchemist’s laboratory with potions, books and contraptions.  There are hundreds of gold pieces worth of alchemy components here as well.

We decide that this is a great place to store the goodies we’ve found.  Zanne drags the items from outside. The piece of the crown we put in the basement and close up the wall, along with our goodies.

We go back to the gate and bring some measly items with us. Paul goes back to collect his wand and make his final payment, using one of the diamonds that we got from inside the wall. There are several wands that he can choose from. He decides on the Wand of Allure. Since the diamond is worth a bit more he negotiates for some potions and a sun globe as well.
