We began by checking out the ruined house above – there was an iron gate standing, and broken walls, but that was basically it. <br>
	So, we went and got a boat. Serina had a piece of wood that turned into a longboat on command. We rowed around to the cove and into the basement. There were two green statues made of a rock that Rhiane identified as serpentine. Which was odd because the writing on it looked decidedly snakelike. The effigies were decidedly demonic. We did contemplate stealing them for the materials, but getting it out would be a challenge. We began exploring with the first exit on the left. The first room was empty aside from some pegs. An exit to the right led to a room with a long narrow pool, now full of brackish water. Another exit on the side led to a T intersection. We went left. There was a strange room with shackles on the walls, and octopus patterns. Back down the corridor we found a hole, perhaps the size of a human head. On the far side was a room – and on the far side the words ~~â€˜Candren~~'s Wish' were scratched over and over. Then we heard a voice hissing, "Is somebody out there?" Then it looked at us. I looked back. Its aura strength was construct sentient, and its GTN was ghoul. He was under no curse, nor had magic impacted. He said that he had been imprisoned here long ago and drowned. He had a problem with House Candren – he had been their accountant. He had a secret. He wanted to see justice done. Telling the world what happened would lay his spirit to rest. His name was Marcon. He promised not to eat people. We decided we'd try to get him out later. <br>		So, we went and got a boat. Serina had a piece of wood that turned into a longboat on command.

	We returned to the big room, and down the next corridor. There was a small room on the right with another green rock statue. In the next room was a well full of darkness. Ancient darkness. Thousand-year-old darkness. Rhaine dropped my grapnel on a rope down the hole. Something grabbed the other end. Kurt cut the rope. Then, the grapnel came flying out of the hole followed by a tentacle with an eye on it. We ran. I was too scared to even try to read its aura. <br>		We returned to the big room, and down the next corridor. There was a small room on the right with another green rock statue.

We backed off, as we drew weapons and Rhiane cast ice weapon on her spear and my sword. We formed a concave V as they formed a wedge, and readied for them. They proved to be unusually fast and tough. The one in the centre fell first, beneath my blade, as we concentrated our attacks on it. Then the one on the left end fell to the cat, and the one on the middle right to Norto. Then the others.

	In the morning, we prepared and set forth. As we passed through the depths of the swamp, Rhiane noticed walking plants. Around midday we came upon the ruined fortress. We had cast walking unseen on everyone and the beasts. Kurt suggested we assault the south west tower, and engage the goblins from there. We crept up to the tower without being noticed. Rhiane tossed up a grapnel and rope, and Kurt climbed up. Kurt noted that there was not much left of the upper floor in the tower. We followed. Then Kurt cut the rope the goblins had attached to the central pillar, and then we heard the sound of running feet. We got down to the lower floor. There was a darkness. Kurt spotted more goblins in the next room. We followed.<br>		In the morning, we prepared and set forth. As we passed through the depths of the swamp, Rhiane noticed walking plants.

	Then the first goblin came running into the tower, yelling about "Intruders!~~â€~~. The goblins turned. One tried to attack me and missed. We heard the yipping of goblin dogs, and Kurt and I started preparing. Soon the foremost goblin dog was under control. "Eat ~~riderâ€~~, I commanded it. Kurt called for our animals, and they came running in the main entrance. Snow impaled the goblin that struck at me with her spear, killing it instantly. The goblin dog rolled its master, and then was felled by arrows from two goblin archers. Its rider never got up. He was set upon by all three animals, and did not survive. I struck at another goblin, and as I hit, my blade parted from its hilt. No matter, the goblin fell over. As did the goblin archers as the animals tore into him. The other dog rider came through the other door and dismounted. Kurt cast and controlled the dog, which shortly turned on its rider, and with Rhiane's help, that goblin was soon killed. Meanwhile, I grabbed Rhiane's spare tulwar from her pack. <br>		Then the first goblin came running into the tower, yelling about "Intruders!". The goblins turned. One tried to attack me and missed.

	Kurt and Swartz forced the next door open, exposing a pair of goblins arguing over a haunch of half-rotten mystery meat. Norto made short work of the nearest one, while the other tried to get away through a door on the far side. He didn't last long, but he did get the door open, revealing a strange golem with a body made of junk metal and a glass head. Which started ranting in common, "Exterminate the intruders.~~â€~~ The animals dog-piled it, while we starting whacking it with melee weapons. "Warning, this unit is under attack,~~â€~~ it declaimed. The goblin alchemist, who had been hiding behind it, cast some kind of bolt spell, and then started to retreat, but Norto jumped on him, and pulled him to the ground. The golem started sparking and flinging. "Self-destruct sequence activated,~~â€~~ it announced. We pulled back and shut the door, and there was a booming explosion. We were safe, but Norto was not out of the effect and took a far bit of damage. The remaining goblins, females and young, surrendered. Rhiane cast weapons spells on use all, while I healed Norto and the others looted. <br>		Kurt and Swartz forced the next door open, exposing a pair of goblins arguing over a haunch of half-rotten mystery meat.

	Rhiane came down the stairs to meet us. We used our key to open the door by the stairs to the south. There was a corridor going south, with an alcove part way along on the eastern side. Inside was a door, which was wedged open with a stone. There were spider tracks. Beyond was darkness. And webs. And a giant spider. Which rushed at me. It missed, and I stepped back. It chased me, and got me. I fell over unconscious, again. And then the animals dog-piled the spider. It was dead within seconds, the final bite going to Norto who literally tore its thorax apart. I came round to the sight of Kurt pouring a potion down my throat. Again. I stood up as another spider entered the room. <br>		Rhiane came down the stairs to meet us.

	It headed for the ceiling and concealed itself in webs and mist. The ice mages dropped the temperature and the mist froze out. I soon discovered that it was very hard to hit that spider. The spider however, managed to fire a gob of web stuff at Swartz. It failed to entangle him, but he caught the line in his jaws. Norto joined in the game of pull the spider. The Kurt shot it. It fired another glob of web, this time at Norto. He was not entangled. The animals pulled on web strands, and something went "~~pingâ€~~. Then "~~plopâ€~~. The spider had been yanked off the ceiling and fallen in the pond in the room's centre. It threw a line up to the ceiling webs and started trying to get back up, managing only to get out of the pool. In its frustration and angry it charged at the nearest dog. Kurt shot it, nearly taking off one of its legs, and then there was another dog-pile. And then it was dead.

	The rest of the basement mirrored the part we had already explored. So, we went back to the Pathfinders Guild. Drandle Dreng told us that there was indeed a scandal in connection with the Candren Family. So, we requested appropriate tools, went back and got the poor ghoul out. He explained that they had persuaded a wizard who was pacted to something dubious to cast a Wish spell to the effect that the family would never have to pay taxes of any kind ever.

	Late afternoon, the renegade goblins attacked. First, we spotted a goblin riding a vulture high in the sky. Then a small horde of others coming over the dunes. Our goblins fired the ballistae at the vulture. One bolt went wide, but the other struck. The vulture looked stunned. And then Kurt brought it under magical control.<br>		Late afternoon, the renegade goblins attacked. First, we spotted a goblin riding a vulture high in the sky.

	The goblins charged. Their tactics were simple. Run and scream, and see what happens. Snow charged a goblin mounted on a dog-like animal. And then we all waded in. Rhiane rode past into the second group. Soon the one on the goblin dog was reeling, and an alchemist goblin in front of Rhiane was downed. The main body of goblins approached closer and one got in a good blow on Rhiane's horse. Kurt cast and took control of the goblin dog, which promptly threw and chewed out its rider. On the other end of the cove, our friendly goblins engaged a band of orcs. Then one of the goblins hit me, and I was stunned for a few seconds. A ballista bolt went into the vulture, and it fell and crashed into the ground, exploding many of the grenadoes the rider was carrying. In the middle of the orcs who were now being harried by the bound goblin dog. <br>		The goblins charged. Their tactics were simple. Run and scream, and see what happens.

	Then Rhiane charged headlong into the hobgoblin who was directing the attack and literally ran him through in one blow with her spear. The goblin druid who had been trying to control Norto, and the goblin with the crossbow, attempted to surrender. Unfortunately for him, I had already commanded Norto to kill the mage, which he did, before I could command him to desist. Snow was hit and stunned, so I killed the goblin who hit her, and then finished off another one. And meanwhile our goblins and the dogs killed the orcs. <br>		Then Rhiane charged headlong into the hobgoblin who was directing the attack and literally ran him through in one blow with her spear.

	We healed up, healed hurt goblins, and then rested. We had lost one goblin on our beach, and a couple elsewhere, but it still would have been much worse if we hadn't been here. We told stories over broiled seafood on the beach. The captive goblins drew a rough map of the ruined citadel in the sand. The front entrance was flanked by two guard towers. The side entrance had hidden goblin archers protecting it. In the centre was a more substantial tower where the chief had made his home. There was a mad alchemist goblin in there with a glass golem that fired grenadoes. And the ruins were all dark all the time. <br>		We healed up, healed hurt goblins, and then rested.

	The door that led downstairs was rusty shut, so Kurt used his axe-shaped lockpick and bust it down. We started down the spiral stairs and were set upon by two goblin zombies. Norto and I were in the lead. Two strokes each, and the zombies fell back down the stairs. At the bottom was a stone room. There were doors to the south and south-east, and a corridor to the east. In an alcove we found a wooden torch with an aura that suggested it was around a hundred years old. We walked down the corridor and came to a stone door on the left – which was locked. At the end of the corridor was another door. And then the floor dropped out from below us. We fell and took most of the damage from the spikes on our armour. The trap-doors closed, leaving us in the dark face to face with a giant spider which proceeded to web the top of the pit. Norto began the ~~attackâ€¦~~ and shortly finished it off.

	Beyond the pit was a door. We opened it, to find a room full of webs. We started to cut the webs away, and then the room filled with fog. Out of the fog came another spider. It bit me hard, right through my armour – and I was out. Unconscious. Kurt pulled me out of there, and started pouring potions down me. By the time I came around, The animals dog-piled it and it was soon dead. We found a purse with 42 coppers, and a rusty handaxe, two rusty swords and five daggers. <br>		Beyond the pit was a door.

	There was a hole in the roof. We put the cat up ~~thereâ€¦~~. She found some ancient ration packs, a grapple and rope, ration packs and waterskins, and patted them down to us. Then we opened the doors to the north and east (which needed the key we had found). The east door revealed a closet which was making sobbing things. The north door had a collection of coffins. The moaning closet was actually magical. Some kind of bardic magic was on it. Which explained the moaning. Some kind of bardic magic. And there was a net among the webs on the ceiling.

	So, we went and got a boat. Serina had a piece of wood that turned into a longboat on command. We rowed around to the cove and into the basement. There were two green statues made of a rock that Rhiane identified as serpentine. Which was odd because the writing on it looked decidedly snakelike. The effigies were decidedly demonic. We did contemplate stealing them for the materials, but getting it out would be a challenge. We began exploring with the first exit on the left. The first room was empty aside from some pegs. An exit to the right led to a room with a long narrow pool, now full of brackish water. Another exit on the side led to a T intersection. We went left. There was a strange room with shackles on the walls, and octopus patterns. Back down the corridor we found a hole, perhaps the size of a human head. On the far side was a room – and on the far side the words â€˜Candren's Wish' were scratched over and over. Then we heard a voice hissing, ~~â€œIs~~ somebody out there?â€ Then it looked at us. I looked back. Its aura strength was construct sentient, and its GTN was ghoul. He was under no curse, nor had magic impacted. He said that he had been imprisoned here long ago and drowned. He had a problem with House Candren – he had been their accountant. He had a secret. He wanted to see justice done. Telling the world what happened would lay his spirit to rest. His name was Marcon. He promised not to eat people. We decided we'd try to get him out later. <br>		So, we went and got a boat. Serina had a piece of wood that turned into a longboat on command.

	We returned to the big room, and down the next corridor. There was a small room on the right with another green rock statue. In the next room was a well full of darkness. Ancient darkness. Thousand-year-old darkness. Rhaine dropped my grapnel on a rope down the hole. Something grabbed the other end. Kurt cut the rope. Then, the grapnel came flying out of the hole followed by a tentacle with an eye on it. We ran. I was too scared to even try to read its aura. <br>		We returned to the big room, and down the next corridor. There was a small room on the right with another green rock statue.

	Next corridor was a broad flight of steps. As we stood on the first step, a small horde of zombies stood up and started marching towards us, down more stairs on the far side of a wide landing. We backed off, as we drew weapons and Rhiane cast ice weapon on her spear and my sword. We formed a concave V as they formed a wedge, and readied for them. They proved to be unusually fast and tough. The one in the centre fell first, beneath my blade, as we concentrated our attacks on it. Then the one on the left end fell to the cat, and the one on the middle right to Norto. Then the others. They were all wearing magic amulets that made them tougher. <br>		Next corridor was a broad flight of steps.

	In the morning, we prepared and set forth. As we passed through the depths of the swamp, Rhiane noticed walking plants. Around midday we came upon the ruined fortress. We had cast walking unseen on everyone and the beasts. Kurt suggested we assault the south west tower, and engage the goblins from there. We crept up to the tower without being noticed. Rhiane tossed up a grapnel and rope, and Kurt climbed up. Kurt noted that there was not much left of the upper floor in the tower. We followed. Then Kurt cut the rope the goblins had attached to the central pillar, and then we heard the sound of running feet. We got down to the lower floor. There was a darkness. Kurt spotted more goblins in the next room. We followed.<br>		In the morning, we prepared and set forth. As we passed through the depths of the swamp, Rhiane noticed walking plants.

	Then the first goblin came running into the tower, yelling about ~~â€œIntruders~~!â€. The goblins turned. One tried to attack me and missed. We heard the yipping of goblin dogs, and Kurt and I started preparing. Soon the foremost goblin dog was under control. ~~â€œEat~~ riderâ€, I commanded it. Kurt called for our animals, and they came running in the main entrance. Snow impaled the goblin that struck at me with her spear, killing it instantly. The goblin dog rolled its master, and then was felled by arrows from two goblin archers. Its rider never got up. He was set upon by all three animals, and did not survive. I struck at another goblin, and as I hit, my blade parted from its hilt. No matter, the goblin fell over. As did the goblin archers as the animals tore into him. The other dog rider came through the other door and dismounted. Kurt cast and controlled the dog, which shortly turned on its rider, and with Rhiane's help, that goblin was soon killed. Meanwhile, I grabbed Rhiane's spare tulwar from her pack. <br>		Then the first goblin came running into the tower, yelling about "Intruders!â€. The goblins turned. One tried to attack me and missed.

	Kurt and Swartz forced the next door open, exposing a pair of goblins arguing over a haunch of half-rotten mystery meat. Norto made short work of the nearest one, while the other tried to get away through a door on the far side. He didn't last long, but he did get the door open, revealing a strange golem with a body made of junk metal and a glass head. Which started ranting in common, ~~â€œExterminate~~ the intruders.â€ The animals dog-piled it, while we starting whacking it with melee weapons. ~~â€œWarning~~, this unit is under attack,â€ it declaimed. The goblin alchemist, who had been hiding behind it, cast some kind of bolt spell, and then started to retreat, but Norto jumped on him, and pulled him to the ground. The golem started sparking and flinging. ~~â€œSelf~~-destruct sequence activated,â€ it announced. We pulled back and shut the door, and there was a booming explosion. We were safe, but Norto was not out of the effect and took a far bit of damage. The remaining goblins, females and young, surrendered.

	Rhiane came down the stairs to meet us. We used our key to open the door by the stairs to the south. There was a corridor going south, with an alcove part way along on the eastern side. Inside was a door, which was wedged open with a stone. There were spider tracks. Beyond was darkness. And webs. And a giant spider. Which rushed at me. It missed, and I stepped back. It chased me, and got me. I fell over unconscious, again. And then the animals dog-piled the spider. It was dead within seconds, the final bite going to Norto who literally tore its thorax apart.

	It headed for the ceiling and concealed itself in webs and mist. The ice mages dropped the temperature and the mist froze out. I soon discovered that it was very hard to hit that spider. The spider however, managed to fire a gob of web stuff at Swartz. It failed to entangle him, but he caught the line in his jaws. Norto joined in the game of pull the spider. The Kurt shot it. It fired another glob of web, this time at Norto. He was not entangled. The animals pulled on web strands, and something went ~~â€œpingâ€~~. Then ~~â€œplopâ€~~. The spider had been yanked off the ceiling and fallen in the pond in the room's centre. It threw a line up to the ceiling webs and started trying to get back up, managing only to get out of the pool. In its frustration and angry it charged at the nearest dog. Kurt shot it, nearly taking off one of its legs, and then there was another dog-pile. And then it was dead.

	We explored down the corridor and found a secret door. Searching we found the lever that opened. There was a large room.

It was flanked by other skeletons, armed with swords and shields. <br>		We explored down the corridor and found a secret door. Searching we found the lever that opened. There was a large room.
