The wind whistles through the roots that have been trimmed to create a passage underneath the grove. The floor is relatively level and dry although there a puddles here and there that collect the water dripping through the roots. Raeva pulls out an everburning torch as the natural light fades the further into the den the party travels. Ash and Shayar sneak down the first offshoot of the passage the group has been exploring and manage to catch a small group of lizard folk unaware. As the pair battle the creatures, Dinkin hears the sound of several humanoids approaching from the corridor he was watching and alerts Perrimon. The earth genasi steps forward to meet a second group of the monstrous humanoids kopesh in hand. Soon, lizard folk carcasses surround the group. Moving on, the adventurers find another room with several lizard folk in it. The party has the battle in hand when a group of green worms exploded from one of the corpses and quickly dissolve. Seeing this, the remaining living lizard folk flee the room.The six quickly take up pursuit but are blocked by a large lizard folk with a black tinge to its scales around its mouth. Behind him are a smaller lizard folk and two tied-up male humans who appear to be unconscious. Dayne and Perrimon step up to engage the humanoid in melee combat. It isn’t long before the creature and its mate are dead. Raeva checks on the prisoners. She finds them badly beaten but they will survive.Resuming their pursuit, the party moves into the next chamber. There they find a stooped lizard folk wearing jewelry made of animal bones; her hands away from her body, empty. Behind her are a male and female humans apparently tied up and out cold. She yells “Halt” in common. On guard, the group lets her speak. In halting common she tells the adventurers that she is unhappy with the aggressive moves the new king have made against the humans in the region. Her name is Hishka and believes that these attacks will eventually draw the wrath of Waterdeep and her tribe will be wiped out. She thinks that if the king and his lieutenant are removed she can convince the tribe to make peace with Waterdeep. Hishka asks the group if they would be willing to dispose of the king and lieutenant and take her message to the city of splendors. After silencing the gnome, Ash agrees to work with Hishka. The female lizard folk tells the party where they can usually find the king and his lieutenant. Shayar realizes they’ve already taken care of the crony so all that remains is the king.The group proceeds to the king’s chambers where they find a large lizard folk with black scales around the mouth, similar to the one creature they fought earlier. Trident in hand, the humanoid roars a challenge at the party and moves to meet them. The battle is long and brutal. Perrimon is felled by the creature’s vicious attacks. In the end the creature cannot stand against the combined forces of the six (now five).</blockquote>
