Timeline

Venomfang is dead.

Ridoth has offered to take the team to Wave Echo Cave. Ogg has stayed behind to dispose of the dragon body. Meanwhile, Jefri borrows a spell scroll and some petty cash from the community chest.

15 miles west of Phandalin, Ridoth leads us to Wave Echo Cave. Inside the cave is a camp with lots of supplies and three bedrolls. Next to the camp is a pit with a freshly dug tunnel on the other side. After going into the pit for no reason, the gang starts exploring the winding caves.

The tunnels wind all sorts of directions, but eventually the gang comes across a large cavern. Dark pool fills most of the cavern. Fishy odor. Stream flows out the norhteast. Jefri attempts to detect magic, and sees “blue” coming down the stream and disappearing in the pool, no clue what it is though. Going down the stream reveals a rift with bugbears clearing stuff, and a doppelganger “overseeing”. The gang slowly backs away and takes a different path.

Going up the east passage they come to a door. The door won’t budge, so the gang knocks, and a goblin-speaking voice says to go around.

They come across another door and barge in like they own the place. This chamber holds a Drow wizard and his friends. With the power of a well-placed silence, some impressive combat skills, and ~~the power of friendship~~ a generous DM, the wizard is eventually defeated.

Jefri briefly considers taking his black leather outfit, but decides to go shopping later instead. Varys quickly requests to sort out his share of the loot.
