These ancient Dhakanni ruins proved to be incredibly dangerous place. It was invested with beasts from the forest, and I was nearly crushed by the shambling mound. If it wasn't for Tari rushing to my rescue, I would surely have been defeated. We secured the facility as we explored the remaining floors. We discovered an ancient Dhakani statue, dedicated to some sort of ancient warrior. The moment Sedriss approached the monument to read the scripture, Goblinoids appeared and immediately attacked. It was not immediately clear whether these were guardian spirits of some form, or just remained invisible to ambush it. They did not prove much of a threat, although Sonn did get injured, not severely. Within the status, we found a trove of ancient Dhakanni treasures, luckily, such magical items resize to the user. The boots have really put a spring in my step. I expect these to be very useful. We found the path to the roof, where a squad of Halflings immediately sought to attack. We defeated them with little trouble, and kept one alive to tell us what was going on. The halflings were f reelancers that broke off from their homeland and were hired to man the cannot to take control of ships as they passed overhead. They claimed to have been hired by a person from sharn , dark looking, carrying a cane, paid gold. Went by the name Edvald . Recently, they redirected one ship with some Daelkyr equipment and artifacts to the Mror holds, a place south of the Soldorak Clan and probably has something to do with it. I have no doubt that I will need to speak with my father. They are looking to recover an ancient dwarven holding deep within the mountains.
