	+ Above it is a small crooked sign with an aged script reading “PUCNIX DIVE"
	+ While they hesitate to knock, they hear a voice from within inquisitively call out “HORACE?!”
	+ When they confirm, a force quickly and confusingly ushers the group  inside, leaving them disoriented for a minute
	+ As they gather their senses, they find themselves in what they would grade as a large tavern’s kitchen

## Gorin's Log

The group starts out continuing their way through town, hopefully to the east, making sure to stay close and in Claymont's proximity. Off in the distance they see a swarm of Ice Mephits swooping in and appear to be acting as lookouts. Around the corner from one of the houses, a group of undead emerge and attack. During the battle, Rocky III goes down. After the zombies go down, they take out the flying Ice Mephits. They're also attacked by an unknown invisible assailant. Skitter casts a wall of flame in the general area of the enemy. Behlen douses it with oil and Skitter throws some flour on it to give it some kind of visibility. Sahra takes several hard hits, which triggers Gorin to forcefully drag her out of harm's way, which Sahra resents him for. The creature nears being beaten, it flees but is caught quickly and defeated and dissipates like the other creatures they've fought in and out Termalaine. Icily suddenly appears after the battle asking what their plans are. Skitter explains that Behlen is leading them to the belltower. She says she can get her family to help. She gives them a safe word to call out to get them to safety. Skitter chooses "Horace". As the group moves further west, the fog overtakes them again. Off in the distance, Skitter hears a troll. They keep moving forward, and Skitter sees a piece of buttered toast on the ground. Gorin takes a look at it and can sense ghostly energy emanating from it, coming from the Malignant Six in particular. He shares this with Skitter and the rest of the group. Claymont uses a spell to detect good and evil and detects neither. Skitter floats it with mage hand near Gorin's face, but he Gorin gives him a mean glare showing he wants nothing of it. Skitter can sense that this was left for him in particular. Skitter decides to take a bite of it and he hears voices in my head saying "Follow My Lead", which he then shares with the group. He's immediately covered in grease. It was actually a one use grease spell potion. Behlen hears another Ice Troll off in the distance to the north. In the path to the west, they see another piece of bread. Skitter can sense that this may help heal them, so he puts it in his pocket. Another piece is seen, and the group decides to follow the trail being left for them. This next piece is sensed by Skitter to be another grease scroll. The next piece is moldy, which he sensed it would give 1 level of exhaustion if ingested. The group, by majority, decides to keep going west, though Claymont wanted to go north. As they continue, they see an establishment named the "Pucnix Dive". They hear a voice calling out "Horace!" and are ushered inside. They find themselves in a kitchen.
