h2. Week 3 - Travel to Candlemere
Paying Duncan the Fisherman 20 gp for the weeks of travel with us. He'll be dropping us off on the west side and then coming back daily at noon to see if we are ready to be picked up.
Terrain is considered hilly. Soil is rich.
Area of undergrowth is odd - strange ridge of plants has grown over wall.
We search the hex to find points of interest before moving to ruins. Regions are like scottish moors..
Areas of interest - the tower. the hill, and ruined town with dock. This takes us most of the day. We check out the hill in the afternoon/evening.

h3. Hill
h4. 7 Places of Interest
We enter through one on the lower level - stone chamber - slightly worked and slightly natural. Somewhat hidden, there is an excavated tunnel, but not finished
At T fork, we head, right (away from water sounds). It comes to a chamber that is partially collapsed. Some sun tricking in from hole in ceiling. In the dirt pile below the hole, there are some bones. Gilain examines the remains - finds the head of rusted shovel.
Go the other way that T fork, there is a partially collapsed room. Bit more moisture. Several spots are pretty constant trickles of moisture. Possible drain at one end. Gilain explores pool. 15 ft deep. stairs under the water on one side.
The drainage area is 5 ft radius hole. The hole is probably 10 ft deep and heads south and east.
As we back out to the front cavern, a wraith attacks us. After a zesty fight where it did numerous Con damage to several people, we defeat it.
h3. Combat * 1 x Wraith
We retreat a mile away to camp the night. During the first watch, we are attacked.
h3. Combat * 1 x Willow O'Wisp
On second watch, we are attacked.
h3. Combat * 2 x Willow O'Wisp * 1 x Willow O'Wisp - retreated
On third watch, we attacked * 4 x Willow O'Wisp - 1 retreated
We make it through the night.
h4. 7 Places of Interest (continued)
Second entrance (southern) on the lower level. Bigger entrance than the last. Opens into a gallery. The far wall is rubble. There is a crack that has water running across it from one side to the other.
Rubble wall - one part to one side might be a nest. Oewyn starts to back away and things happen.
h3. Combat * 1 x Wasp Swarm
Investigating hive was made in a body - we find 3 uncut gemstones.
Alot of the other entrances lead into similar type areas - worked and natural stone - water is prevalent in all of them. The whole hill is riddled.
That takes the rest of the day. We return to our campsite and see what happens over night.
