In the Ruins under the Outding Refuge Church,Heyton's Thorpe, Outding Refuge.
After the fight, the party heard some sounds to the East. They found Bastion Bladesinger, who was tied up. He spoke about how he was captured by a group of Sahuagin and brought here; it doesn't seem like it was too long ago -- but sometime within the last day, it would seem.
There were sounds of water, and so the party went out into a grand room full of a large water pool that was being fed by openings in the walls. There was a large platform of "islands," and one had a large crystalline structure. As the party entered the room, they found a desk and a locked chest. Shadow in the Snow was able to disarm the trap and unlock the chest.
Inside was:
- "Necromantic Artes v.1" -- a primer on the art of Necromancy and controlling the undead.
- "Known Claims of the Far Realm" -- goes into what is known about the "Far Realms"
- "Devil Men of the Deep, the Study of the Walking Piscine Killers" -- about Sahuagin
- "Rocks, Crystals, And Gemstones" -- Goes into crystals and a bit on magic with such
- "Green Thumb" -- a book on gardening

Shadow did fall in combat but was revived by Sas.
The party began to investigate the Crystal, and Barlo hit it with his maul and made a crack appear. They then found a room with a sarcophagus and a mummified body in it. In another chamber, they found another Will-o-Wisp, but instead of fighting it, they decided it would be best to egress and heal before going further. So they retreated expeditiously. They passed the Ghost who reminded them of her presence still here.
At the tavern, two Leonins entered and talked to Reginald Ivoryclaw in private; he came back and told the party he would not be able to continue with their adventures as something had come up.
