Met up with a group of adventurers at a tavern named after a phoenix, people there seem to have never seen a Triton. Found out only a few days before that we had to work to meet this poet, but this job seems to be useful not only to us but all of the community. Finding some cult that has been committing murders. Found a dead woman, and shortly beyond that a mountain containing dark energies. Two goblinoid guards were standing before the path up, who became hostile quickly and we had to dispatch. The others looted the bodies. Found a couple of cultists, the golden scaled one ended up turning them to nothing but ash, rather horrid. Made it to the top of the mount, and found there were four more cultists gathered talking of summoning an eternal winter for some god of death. One of the humans talked them down, and one of them provided us with some information as well as passage to deeper within. Heard a woman weeping, could not get to her from where we were, yet none of the others seemed to care. Descended into another room with the sound of bones, which was eventually revealed to be a skeleton. Rather horrific thing, truly. Accidentally killed the wizard commanding them with a little too much ease for my liking. We went back up and found more cultists performing a ritual to resurrect a corpse that was far stronger, almost was able to knock me unconscious and successfully knocked out the elf. Rescued and adventurer as well.
