 +=== Arrival ===
 +  * The party — **Archmaster Aodhan**, **Orla Moonsilver**, and **Makander of Halfbay** — gathered at the Three Stags inn in the frontier town of Outskirt.
 +  * The dwarf **Severin Goldtooth**, posing as a friendly merchant, recruits them to seek rumored Dragon Empire treasure hidden within a flooded lodge, offering a split of the loot.
 +
 +----
 +
 +=== The Journey Begins ===
 +
 +  * The party traveled through the forest.
 +  * That first night, Orla discovered goblins raiding their supply cart; she signaled and fired, triggering a skirmish.
 +    * Together, Orla (archery/stealth), Makander (axe and shield), and Aodhan (fireballs) defeated the goblins, claimed loot, and rested.
 +  * Arrived at the lake after two days of travel. The mysterious lake believed to hide the sunken lodge, guided by Severin.
 +  * The group discussed means of crossing the lake, building a raft with bushcraft and receiving magical water-breathing stones from Severin.
 +
 +----
 +
 +=== Underwater Descent and the Kelp Forest ===
 +  * At the lakeshore, the group discussed the lake monster legend, then rafted across the water
 +  * Used enchanted stones for easy underwater travel (plus Aodhan's magic warmth).
 +  * Descended the submerged tower's spiral stairs, reaching the flooded valley floor near a ruined lodge amid dense kelp.
 +  * Makander led the way cutting kelp, Orla and Aodhan watched for dangers, and were soon ambushed by hostile merfolk.
 +  * Orla attacked from a distance, Makander tanked and countered, Aodhan used spells; Makander was almost drowned but broke free.
 +  * Severin was paid by the merfolk and fled.
 +
 +----
 +
 +=== Exploring the Lodge Ruins ===
 +  * After the ambush, Aodhan and Orla performed battlefield healing and tracked their resting options, exploring the ancient lodge's rooms.
 +  * They found silver and old wine, then a giant octopus lurking under a table; coordinated ranged attacks killed the beast.
 +  * Orla was poisoned by a trapped dagger among the treasure, nearly dying until Aodhan stabilized her.
 +  * The party collected magical items, gold, and continued onward.
 +
 +----
 +
 +=== The Lake Monster and Climax ===
 +  * Exiting the ruins, the party was ambushed by a **massive lake monster**.
 +  * Makander took the brunt of its attacks (using Guardian to protect Orla), while Orla delivered strong arrow strikes and Aodhan depleted his willpower on spells.
 +  * After a desperate fight — Makander nearly devoured — Orla slew the monster with a critical shot, and the group stabilized Makander.
 +  * They took trophies and readied to return home.
 +
 +----
 +
 +=== Resolution: Treachery and Aftermath ===
 +  * On the return trip, the party intercepted Severin on his way back to town.
 +  * Aodhan used stone magic to wreck Severin's cart; Orla readied her bow; the traitorous dwarf was confronted and given a second chance to be the party's guide for future excursions.
 +  * Makander and Orla branded Severin
