TM 2: While searching for Bendis at the Inn of the Lady of Green Knowledge, the group runs into Thalgun and old enemy of Joth's. The discussion moves outside with 15 dwarven thugs backing Thalgun's posturing against Joth, Eltar, and D'rgeen. At first the fight is just between Joth and Thalgun until Joth clocks Thalgun good, at which point the thugs rush in. Eltar holds his own, and D'rgeen completely owns/cleans up about 15 thugs. Even as Thalgun has Joth pinned to the ground, Joth reverses the grab, picks Thalgun up while standing himself, and crushes him into submission.

The group then proceeds to look for Bendis, a scout that said he could guide them to the lower caverns where the "good stuff" was, who after witnessing the results of the fight outside flees for his life. D'rgeen chases him down to discover that offer was a ruse to lure young adventurers to their doom. Obviously Bendis does not believe that is possible with the group so he was leaving.

TM3: The group heads up to the Sunstone Caverns on their own. Wading through the upper caverns, which prove little challenge, the group proceeds deeper. Coming to a crossroads they are met by a shifting glowing mist and attempt to communicate....
