Shortly, 2 medium sized Mining Bees flew out of one of the southern tunnels. We quickly defeated them, then headed into the tunnel they had just come from. We found that 3 of the tunnels from the first room all led to the same spot. Along the way we found a dead Gremlin with a silver ring. We found a glowing mushroom that was a manifestation of Primal energy. Anyone eating a piece would receive a bonus to Primal casting for a time. After some exploration we found 3 of our dorm mates. Tzeniwe, Okoro & Ignaci. Ignaci was in dire straights from a Bee attack. We bandaged her wounds & helped them out back the way we came from. They told us about a hidden door they had noticed along the way. Once they were out we went back to the hidden door. Opening it we found a tunnel that led to a room with several different types of Gremlins inside. We called out to speak to them, but they immediately reached for weapons! We quickly beat them, rescuing a cowering creature they had with them. Se told us her name was Binji. She told us much about the area down here, saying she was forced to take care of the entire area. She also told us of another creature named Urbel that was quite scary. She agreed to go with us to guide us to different areas, if we could keep her safe. We agreed to this. She chose to ride "Mr. Kitty". Once we cleaned the lice off of her, this was fine with Sevastin. As we rested for a few minutes we were interrupted by several more tiny creatures, that Orkbolt identified as Jinkins. We again made quick work of them, before turning back to resting & healing a bit. Afterwards we followed Binji's directions to the south towards where she expected to find Urbel. Along the way we searched and found some interesting items. As we moved forward we heard more Bees. This time we found a giant Bee that Orkbolt identified as the Queen Bee. It was tough, but we managed to defeat it. At this point we decided to leave the tunnels to get Binji safely out & rest up before we encountered this Urbel. On the way out we collected the map from the Gremlin's secret room. We reported back to the Tireless Hall to report to Teacher Ot, introducing Binji. We showed him the map with locations marked with both already hit locations & proposed targets. Teacher Ot was very upset about this, instructing us to find out who was behind this & "Stop them". Binji piped up and told us that it was "Mr. Ghost" behind this. This person was scary & Binji usually hid when he was nearby. He described him as actually looking like a stone ghost. We surmised this might be Uduak Basni. Teacher Ot was not happy to hear that we even knew this name, calling it forbidden knowledge. He asked us to keep what information we knew about him to ourselves.
We took a day to sell some loot and buy some runes for those who needed them. The following day we headed back inside, finding Urbel fighting a Giant Tsetse Fly. We managed to defeat them pretty quickly. Afterward we found some magic leather armor and a pick. We took some time to heal up. Mostly getting done, just as we heard another patrol coming... Probably somewhere around 10 of the Gremlins. We decided to ... decide this next time!
