Summary:
The party stops by the rich town of Retennis to stock up on supplies before going up Mount Rendon. As they travel, they come across three starving wolves, of which Cedar manages to befriend one. They then make camp, with Cedar noticing flying winged humanoids while hunting and Laguna noticing a wizard vehicle taking flight.

 

Rex has joined the party!

They continue with their new lupine companion up to the cave entrance on the map. At the cave, they notice that a bear had taken up residence in the cave. After a lot of deliberation, Cedar tries to hunt for the bear only for Moktar to come up to the cave instead. The Moktar take a liking to Aria's claims that they stole the cart and make an offer: They will hunt the bear if they get the shinies from what was past the cave. The party agrees, Cedar rejoins, and the party opens the door at the back of the cave using the sick rock.

The party finds themselves in a strangely lit room. Laguna manages to translate the signs, and they head West. There they find hostile robots that wanted them gone, barely manage to dodge a trap that was set up, and find some small treasures as well as several empty rooms. They begin marking rooms with chalk at this point and even put Laguna's axebeak in one for safekeeping. After this, they head back to the Foyer, Smith sets up caltrops at the entrance, and they check out the room to the Northwest. The Moktar return at this point, stepping in the caltrops. They follow the chalk marks and are stopped just in time, convinced by Aria to open the door to the automatons. A huge fight breaks out, moktar are dismembered, and the party high-tails it out of there and back to town to safety. 

 

Like this, only with more surgical saws.
