They find A Deep and Creeping Darkness which talks about a haunted and deserted mine. Master Mind, “Did he say anything about haunted.” Scaredy Kait, “It does not matter. But we better check it out.” The first problem on their journey is the stables. Khe’ril Hammerbind was not happy that five horses were returned but only nineteen horseshoes. After yelling at them for five minutes he gives them four nags. Swot, “But he already nagged us for five minutes.” DM, “Groan. Four substandard horses.

USE more highlighters on the information dumps. Cross reference the information dumps. Do not wake up at 4:30 to start smoking the beef brisket if it is raining. Even if the furry alarm clocks want you to wake up.) Lukas is a sad depressed old human man of ninety-five. He gives more information about the mine and his wife. He asks them to lay a magically persevered daisy chain of daffodils flowers at her grave. He mumbles something about a necklace. (STOP IT WRITER YOU FORGOT to tell the players and are cleaning it up in post. SHUT MUSE.) He also mentions a young fellow Astra Vorn a flower vendor who may have more information. Vorn is a half elf and is currently unloading the wagon they were going to raid. Swot, “Kait you were going to steal that elf’s flowers.” Kait, “Can you say FLOWER POWER.
