Notes

The party starts the session in the New Tide Inn of New Ciarta. The tavern keep talks about a shrine dedicated to an elemental god of rebirth that is in the city. He also suggest visiting the alchemist for potions before heading to the mines. We buy some healing potions and we get a special mushroom that can potentially give resistance to fire damage. The party heads towards the mines. On the way they find an empty cart in the middle of the road with signs of bodies being dragged into the forest. When Dr. Byron Dark investigates an arrow is shot from the forest. Bandits attack the party but they manage to scare them off. After a short rest the party continues and gets to the mine. The entrance is blocked by a big boulder but Artos manages to move it. They see signs of something that has been digging and Dr. Byron Dark thinks its signs of umber hulk. Entering the mine the party starts to hear voices but Dr. Byron Dark realizes that it's spores in the air causing hallucinations. Artos accidentally falls into a pit trap but climbs out after. They hear shouting from someone from a nearby tunnel. The party finds a dwarf hanging upside down being attacked by 3 zombie dwarf miners. They kill the zombies and free the dwarf. The dwarf seems to be an inspector who's the last person left in the mine. He said it was his responsibility to keep the mine in working order so he stayed behind. He said more clues can probably be find in the foremans office. The party finds a lot of books there and a chest containing sand. Dr. Byron Dark finds a diamond in there which he pockets. They also find a secret hatch underneath the chest Atticus searches the books and finds a book about underdark creatures with a couple of pages torn out. He also finds a logbook telling about how the miners dug too deeply and have gone crazy. The party decides to climb down the ladder under the hatch. They find the tunnels mentioned in the journal and also a chapel, when they're suddenly ambushed by an umber hulk.
