A Furry Reunion

5 November, 595
Part I

The next day the party continues to rest until the following evening. Some valuables found in the ruins are hawked, and the group uses the services of the Temple of Lordly Might to heal wounds and purchase potions of healing.

Another foray into the ruins is in order, and they decide to investigate the forested room. Amidst the sound of chirping birds and flitting butterflies, Kyladrian tries to carve his initials into one of the trees, and Fario rips a leaf, but neither of these actions seem to have any effect. The group begins to guess that some magic is afoot here, but is not quite sure what is going on. Leaving from a circular door with a "D", the party enters a room containing a caged rat. Indeed the creature matches the appearance of the one lost by Keygan, several weeks ago! The rat squeaks excitedly and is immediately taken back to the surface, along with an empty gray sack found in one of the chests.

Keygan is overjoyed to be reunited with his companion, and thanks the adventurers profusely. He listens distractedly to Karnak's tale of how they found them, but finds it hard to concentrate among all the excitement. The group is pleased at their accomplishment, as this is the first objective they have been able to complete in several hard days of exploring.

Eager to continue their search for the missing children, the heroes ponder their next move, and the danger in Jzadirune awaits...
