Events:

The group arrives at the wall and notice that there is something going on high up. A tomb is investigated and it has been robbed out a long time ago. Milo see some Purple Mould on the inhabitains remains and thinks they should not investigate further.

A small (8" high) bright red lizard falls from the melee above. It turns out to be a mini lizardman called "Ivan the Terrible". He gets the group to help his tribe remove a Cave Fisher which is a large tenticued monster and has taken over there cave. The Gekomen and the Cave Fisher seamed to be at a stalemate because neither can really affect the other. The group intervene and it is dispatched. The Gekomen are most impressed with their new allies and tell them where there is some gold. Milo investigates the location which is an old tree which is unfeasible hanging on to the rock face. Milo in his avarice to get at a "third" gold coin cuts the main tap root and the tree falls off the cliff. Milo's reflexes save him from what would have been a grim fate; a nasty fall and being eaten by pharanas.

The group then investigate another tomb which Ivan says is dangerous and they should not go in. The group ignore his wise advice and go in anyway. They find some ancient creature that appears to be able to Cause Feet, hide its true form, cast Darkness and 'turn' good clerics. The Good Friar has to be persuaded to leave the creature alone.

They find another hidden tomb and gain entrance. Milo explores into the dark followed a short distance behind by Lorlyn. Neither Milo nor Lorlyn spot the Pit Trap and Milo sets it off after he passes it. A stone wall appears between the two blocking Milo in, Lorlyn just manages not to meet her doom at the bottom of the pit that opened up at her dainty feet.

Milo in the darkness thinks he can see the Purple Mould everywhere. Lorlyn searches on the other side for a release mechanism, after sometime it is found. At the end of the corridor an unopened tomb is found with lots of interesting wooden and gold treasures. There is some form of ghost that attacks the group when they enter the tomb, the group deal with it. 4 large piece are taken to sell to Grim as the Governor is not interested in strange wooden things, but takes a chest like thing instead of charging tax.
