Linzi, Dionaea, and Laudius creep through the tunnels and find a large room with several heavily armed sinspawns. Linzi uses sending to tell Shump-Shump to join us, and we take a short rest until he arrives. We defeat the enemies and retrieve rings of protection, ring of evasion, +1 greataxes. We attempt to deactivate a magical blue swirling portal to another plane (plane shift) with a 7-sided symbol of Lamashtu, but it comes roaring back. We take a long rest, after her 4 hour rest Dionaea investigates the basement and finds that the traps have been dispelled and there are footprints around and leading to the weapons, which have been perturbed. Dionaea makes everyone fire pancakes for evocation day, then we get set up for the day. Dionaea goes to her evil garden and speaks to the plants, they offer to teach her poison. Shump Shump tries to figure out what to feed baby dragons. Tatheryn tells Shump Shump that there's an axe even better than Wound in an orc stronghold in the Hold of Belksin on the other side of the Mindspin mountains (orc territory, where Shump Shump grew up). Laudius lights the pyre for Nethys and it is glorious. Linzi notices a mysterious, heavily armored figure in the crowd, then fire starts raining down from the sky...
