Full Report
Setting out from the northern gate, the party reaches the mountain’s base in the first day due to Arksil making the trip beforehand. Seeing a polar bear further down the path, they decide to climb the mountain where they were. After doing so for a while, they reach a platform that the party can lay their bedrolls out on. Leon stays on watch after his recharge period, spotting three mountain goats with thorny horns coming their way. After a rather close fight, the party heals and sleeps, then heals those that need it more.
Between the choices of continuing up or shimmying along a ledge, the party goes across the ledge, Rhoss falling 30 feet down. He climbs back up, with the party finding a natural staircase in the side of the mountain. Looking down, they see some kobolds at the base along with more goats. The party climbs up for an hour, finding a cave in the side of the mountain. Further up are some griffons, and a stone tower they’re flying in and out of.
Going into the cave, two bug creatures attack the party which they kill. Clex ventures farther into the cave, finding kobold bodies with treasure on them, some bug eggs and a carved stone wall, likely the base of the tower. Leon and Clex burn the eggs, and Veera reads some elvish on the stone, with Griffons and Stable being legible. Leon also found a magically trapped switch hidden on the wall.
