You managed to kill the rats but two of your party members got infected by bites from the rats. After finding six gems and a secret door, you headed back to town to get cured. The cleric agreed to cure your infected members for 500 gold donations each. The gems sold for 30 gold. You attempted to return to the lair the next day but ran into a group of twenty brigands also traveling north.

After a close battle you took the Ogre's head and a brass key and headed back to town to recover. The Magic shop owner was unable to identify the staff but instead referred you to the church.

Upon arrival you found the entrance guarded by a giant Draco Lizard. After a rather hard fight Alembic finally put the creature to sleep and you finished it off. With the entrance clear, you proceeded into the cave and found a hole in the floor with a spiral staircase leading down. Brugor tried to sneak down to scout out the lower area but was heard. You were attacked by 6 Duergar Dwarves who were only able to engage you one at a time since the stairs only allowed single file passage. You managed to kill three of them and render the other three unconscious after exhausting all of your healing magic. You proceeded down to the lower chamber and found three gems and a golden topaz hidden in a wall. After exploring the rest of the room you returned to town to recuperate and get your spells back.

Vaclav had taken ill so the rest of you decided to see what rumors were to be heard about the town. As you headed out there was some shouting coming from the nw area of the village so you decided to go investigate. Upon arriving on the scene you followed the town militia through the crowd to discover the body of a farmer laying on a cart. Someone had found him on the side of the NW road out of the village about six miles out. The Farmer appeared to have died in a rather frightened state with an expression of absolute horror frozen upon his face. Whispers of the name Sigyfel were heard from the crowd so you decided to probe further into the situation. You discovered that Sigyfel was an evil sorcerer who had reportedly died centuries ago and was sealed up in a tomb about ten miles outside of town along the NW road. Ramiro, the current town leader made his way onto the scene and subsequently offers you 150 gold, horses and whatever supplies you need to go see if the tomb has been opened. You accept the offer and take one of the town guardsmen along with you to investigate. You arrive at the tomb to see that it has indeed been opened but the guardsman is too frightened to go down into the crypt with you so you decide to return to town with your report and collect your reward. On the way back you run into a group of eight skeletons who appear to be heading towards the tomb. You ride around them avoiding getting into mele range and make it back to town without incident, Ramiro offers you 300 more gold to return to the tomb when Vaclav has recovered to clear out the evil once and for all.
