Upon inspection of the rest of the cave we find some treasures and most importantly clues to the location of even more treasure. A thief used this place as a hideout until she was busted by the Town Hall lady who apparently used to be a cop.
We head out and go to the marsh to see what we will find there. Upon arrival we find a cool set of three islands with fallen trees as bridges. Island one has a skeleton with a map of the area, and some magic goods. I proceed to island two and am immediately sucked down into quicksand! Luckily I’m strong and swim to the other side, pulling myself out.
“Careful, there’s quicksand!” I call out. “Gleek, I’m regretting wearing a skirt! There’s sand in places nobody wants to know about!”
I get to my feet, laughing, and turn to find myself face to face with a floating, glowing skull. Startled I go for my trident, but it shoots radiance out at me. I’m getting my ass handed to me before Iris can come help me, and I only get a couple hits in before falling unconscious.
For the next few minutes I get up thanks to Abdul and Gleek, only to get pummeled into unconsciousness- over and over. The stupid skulls fly away before we can kill more than one, and I tap out of exploring after nearly dying. The skulls of course come back, attacking those searching, and I stay back.
We leave to go back to town, a bit more battered than we left. I join Abdul and Gleek in their massive suite, and despite feeling awful spend the night laughing it up and playing blackjack and getting drunk with some ladies of the night.
The next day we do some shopping before we return to our rented property, leaving Iris in town. Our circus joins us, and we get to planning. we have to clear up this place before putting on a show- and I think it will be one of the best yet!
