Exploring the caves, they came across a cluster of skeletons that they wisely decided to leave undisturbed, fearing they might animate. Venturing further, they witnessed zombies performing a strange show while others applauded. Zonga cleverly used a minor illusion to hide as the group dealt with the zombies.
With multiple paths to choose from, three of our heroes opted for one that led them to some chests. As they approached, a threatening voice echoed, and boulders came crashing down on them. Regrouping, they continued along the path and encountered a human, a hooded figure, and skeletons. Isaac initiated a conversation, and Shabri, upon spotting a spellbook, decided to attack.
