"...Now where was I? Ah, yes. So right after yelling that and angering the Lizardfolk, Kat slinked back into the shadows and disappeared. Edmund didn't seem fazed, and followed the insule by shooting an arrow at one of the Lizardman. Suffice to say, that's when hostilities broke out. Those Lizardfolk were quite a bit tougher than your average ones, and it was a hard fought battle. Edmund and Glynn were knocked unconscious, and I think an arrow caught my arm in that battle. I was still in better shape than the others though, especially the Lizardfolk."

"Two of the lizardfolk were still alive, and we figured that there could be some sort of reward for bringing them back to town. It was slow going dragging the two along. Those lizard folk were heavy, though I let the rest of them do all the heavy lifting. We got back to Seawell with no further encounters with the Lizardfolk. However, we did learn some dire news: it appeared that since the time we left for Bellatune, the Lizardfolk have been far more active and aggressive (probably because of the new leader we installed). They had cut off a large portion of the water supply to Seawell, and even with the water elemental gone, they still couldn't get enough water to survive on. We decided that we had to go back to the spring, and either close the portal or do the same thing that Ren had originally done to get water to Able."

"Ren volunteered to first take the form of a bird and scout out the area. When he returned, he informed us that there were a good number of Lizardfolk there, though most of them appeared to be scattered along the mountainside. We went back to the spring at the top of the mountain, careful not to alert the entire lizardmen tribe. We were largely successful in our task. A few lizardmen tried to run off to warn the others, but Ren changed into a black bear, and ran them down down with frightening speed."

"I tried to analyze the portal that was diverting the flow of the river, however, I just couldn't figure how how to close it. We had to settle on the backup plan. Ren cast a few spells that reshaped the opening, and a few monents later, a steady stream of water was flowing toward Seawell. At this point, we decided that at least for the time being, our task was done. We headed back down the mountain side without any more Lizardfolk encounters."

"However, later that evening, as we were walking in the forest, a large...Creature of some sort appeared to burrow up from under the ground. It looked like it had a tough carapace and large mandibles. It struck quickly, cutting a gash in Edmund. Ren and Glynn moved forward to attack, when second one suddenly appeared and struck Ren, grasping him in its mandibles. Fortunately, these beasts were not as tough as they appeared, and Edmund managed to quickly finish one off. The other one attempted to drag Ren back into the tunnel it just came out of, but luckily, Ren was able to grab ahold of a large branch, and keep himself from being pulled down. I cast a spell that swapped Ren and a creature I summoned, and followed it up by slicking the sides of the tunnel with a thick coat of grease. To my satisfaction, the creature tumbled back into the tunnel, and I heard a loud crunch as it hit the bottom of its tunnel. We peered over the edge, and noted that whatever it was, the fall crushed it."
