Year of the Manticore, Month of the Black Witch, day of the Minnow
Turns out that Sir Wulfram's daughter is the real "Alathandra". After two of the party touched her cursed spellbook and were incapacitated by magical slumber, Alathandra somehow swiped Barcl's spellbook even though he had carefully protected it. The party chased Alathandra to the Caves of Warrock Ashfoote, a salt mine. They fight animated skeletons and Herluf is swallowed whole by a purple worm that suddenly erupted from below. Waldo struggles to release Herluf as Barcl and Torgo (Dwarf Cleric) fight for their lives near the cave entrances.

Wyvernmist Date: Year: 1325 (Year of the Manticore), 8th day (Day of the Lizard) of the Harvest Moon.
Waldo and Barcl return to Ravenglass with the
Blue Skull to find the village under attack. They jump off their boat and head
for the university to discover Portia hiding in the library. Portia is slain by
a mind flayer before Fincl or the party can save her. Fincl engages the monster
with magic (temporarily blasting it with some kind of wall of force) and tells
Waldo and Barcl to make a tactical retreat upstream to the next
village.
Waldo and Barcl comply with Fincl's orders. In a
couple of days, they make it to the next village. The village leader is on
vacation, leaving behind a small, rather inept, police force. The village also
appears to be infested with drunks, thieves and liars.
