```
this is an old mark related to astral deity "Myrkul"

* We were able to get a job to guard the caravan in order to move down to Starilaskur and take magic circle back to Strixhaven
* As we move further from Vathirond, things do get a bit chiller as forest move closer

```
the direction this drag is coralline towards the mournland the chicken seems to look like they have been "drained"

```

* As Cecil get close to the window he think he see the flicker of an eye, and hear the whisper of a voice "it came from the sky......."

```
 • the voice is raspy and empty, void of emotion
 • When Merika opened the door, the cold rushes out and ruffling the clothes
 • the furniture seems to be all pushed up against the wall
 • the body's torso have been exploded backward
 • the rest of the body are the middle age man and a child
 • the symbol on the wall was the same as the warforged
 • the body is killed with necrotic damage
The worforged should be follower of lord of blaze, though they do not own a cult
 • however, the turn in the faction regarding the cult is new

```

* Pluu use speak with the dead to talk to people inside the house

```
The mist from mournland is rolling in again
the mist bring the monster and misfortune
An envoy of the dead is what landed outside and causes the crater
The envoy is the one who painted the eye symbol

```

* We finally moved along after burying the body before seeing the carriage being overturned during the travel
* the air in the area are still again

```
Once Pluu step onto the bridge, the horse body start to shudder and stand up as the mist swirl around them
Pluu cast fireball, which take out all three horses
Pluunoticed that the mist started to coalesce around the area during the fight
The ghost appeared out off the mist and try to possessed Cecil, but failed
Second ghost appeared and cast withering touch on Merika, which badly hurt him

```

* Pluu found rod of the pact within the carriage and a few more gems within the carriage
* We moved on with the travel before setting up the camp and rest for the night
* During the night, we do feel like something is watching us, though it seems to be scared to attack
* the second day, the rain start pouring pretty hard but the trip go by uneventfully
* however, during the dawn, Merika got hit by a tree that was struck by lightning
* We took a short rest before we start moving again
* Merika spotted a familiar tree

```
The house appear to be a bone mill with human and animals bone spewing around
Inside, there are some machinery mix with bones spewing around
At the bottom of all of the gears, there is a pathway down to the bottom
There are cave at the bottom where there are whispers when we got down
The body of the astral elf within the cave are start to decay
There are a gathering of a hooded figures around the woman elf facing at the darkness
