After a long rest under the roof of Briel Eventide, the party shows off what they can do to Luden during a training session. The group then begins their quest under the Grotto Thicket, to the door of the ancients marked on Briel's map. After a small greeting to Prayaria, the group attempts this ancient door puzzle. Their successes lead them down into this ancient home that has not seen welcome guests... in thousands of years. Prayaria is overwhelmed with the ghosts of her ancestors and ancestral home as a faded memory of the past whirls around the group. An ominous creature begins to hunt its prey.
