This person offered them a chance into the local Thieves' guild, but only if he could get into the Moler's Guild to pass along information for them. Drick, excited about getting more gold, then went out searching for the party, unable to find them before the left for their journey. (On the 14th of Mitu) The party reached the reported hideout of the :b,Skyloy:, deciding to take a small hole away from the entrance to slip into their base. Down they climbed, the rope tied to the strongest branch they could find near the hole. One by one, they descended into darkness. Dheir, Xedran, Cassian, Saxon, and miraculously, Kit, found themselves in a storage room for weapons, the small hole they barely squeezed down stared down at them, begging them to climb up now before they were seen, as there would be no way of surviving being trapped between Skyloy above them and below once they were alerted to their presence. Cassian used his magic over the natural word to light a torch, giving himself and Saxon light. Dheir took the lead as the party began to go deeper into the ancient tunnels they found themselves in. Skipping the passages that shoot off the floor they are on, and choosing instead to descend the stairs, avoiding an obviously laid trap at the top of the stairs. They took the first right off the stairs they could, Kit having to tightly squeeze themself through the thin halls. By this point, Cassian had extinguished his torch as a precaution to keep them hidden. Soon Xedran heard voices, “they’re coming!” And proceeded to go deeper, only to have a smoke grenade of sorts get tossed at him by a skyloy hiding behind a corner at the end of the hall. The party became alerted to the danger and prepared to defend themselves! A skirmish in the ancient ruins began! As the party navigated the already tight quarters and even tighter holes further connecting that floor of the ruins, they struck their attackers with blades, magic, and insults! Things began to look really hairy when Dheir became trapped trying to deal with three skyloy at the exit of one their carved out tunnels, Xedran got near enough to assist but the tight quarters Dheir was dealing with almost became too much to deal with! Cassian, who had channeled his connection to the Stars into the power of the Archer constellation, giving off light around him as his body was dotted with star light and the magic projected from his Sky Orb into the form of a bow made of the same light, used his nature magics to grow magical plants, helping to restrain the Skyloy restraining Dheir. The restrained creatures began to get taken out between Dheir and Xedran, soon Saxon was able to find the group and assisted further. After a few more intense seconds, the battle came to an end, just in time for the party to discover they were in a room with a group of skyloy that looked diseased."
