Ekenir’s log

Explored with other travelers. Spenser found more rats! Then, BIG rat. I went down. Thanks to Radavel bring me back up. Found dead elven lovers once hidden. Group buried. What’s up with weird coins?

Elora Journal Entry #2

No dreams remembered. I joined a group of brave souls gathering to explore a nearby ruin. Only the basement remained. It was overrun with rats, some of whom had formed an unnatural bonding of some kind. After we slayed the rats and the aberation, we discovered the corpses of two elves. In a nearby pile of detritus we discovered a number of ancient looking coins. Aware of the evil taint of this place, I carefully picked up three of the coins using a cloth. Here is a rubbing of the coin's front and back. I plan to take the coins to whatever passes for an explorer's guild or library here so that others wiser than myself may examine them safely.

--Alton's Footnotes of Flavor: Not much to report this time. We did find some scrumptious looking nuts while looking around outside the cellar that will help give my next dish a little something extra. I was very disappointed that the cellar didn't have any aged wine or honey in it; everything was gone as far as we could tell. Probably those rats ate it, but now that it's all cleared up it would be a perfect place to store and age our good supply. Especially the room where we found the two dead elves; they boarded it up from the inside for some reason; but it kept the rats out at least. So very secure for aging a fine mead I think.
