            The group went to the town guard station to interrogate the two lizard folk that the town guard captured. The town trade master Sildar told the group that the lizard folk revealed that they plan on attacking Phandalin, which contradicting their earlier statement that they were going to war with shark people. The group readied their crew and set off to eliminate a lizard folk tribe. They arrived at the mouth of the river leading inland to the swamp, dropped anchor, and set off in a rowboat using the cover of night. After reaching land and making their way into the swamp they were ambushing by a group of 4 bullywugs. After killing three of them, another group of 4 and a weird giant slug creature attacked from behind. Oceanus charged to face the enemy and Thane downed his potion of fire breath and focused his breath weapon on the slug creature. One of the bullywugs ran into the swamp attempting to escape, but Gaspar knocked him unconscious with a well-placed dart. Gaspar went to retrieve the unconscious bullywug and noticed a chest there which he kept to himself. The group took the bullywug back to rowboat, and then back to their ship where they interrogated him. From him they learned that the bullywugs and many other swamp creatures were leaving the swamps as the lizard folk had become too aggressive lately. They also learned about the chest that Gaspar kept secret. Within it they found 550 gold, 5 rubies, 2 cool stones, an Ioun stone, a baseball cap, and a +1 shield. The group decided to wait till the next night to assault the lizard folk lair.

            The next night the group evading 4 lizard folk patrols, each consisting of 10 guards. Upon arriving at the lair, they found 2 underwater entrances and a hidden door. They decided to make their way into the hidden door, sending Thane to scout ahead. Thane found a small guard station consisting of 4 lizard folk and a giant brute one. The rest of the group snuck in and sent Thane and Gaspar in first. Thane killed the brute and Gaspar kept the door they were guarding shut in anticipations of more lizard folk being on the other side. After their cover was blown, Oceanus charged in and Baphomet lit the lizards up with his eldritch blast. After the guards were killed Thane opened up the door Gaspar was blocking, only to slam it shut after seeing 8 lizard folk on the other side who formed a phalanx. Baphomet misty stepped into to room and unleashed his darkness which blinded the lizards. Thane charged into the darkness hoping to kill one of the lizards. 4 of the 8 lizards made their way into down a hallway and flanked Gaspar and Oceanus. After missing several strikes Thane ran out of the darkness to aid the flanked party members. The group’s effort was enough to kill 7 of the lizards and take one alive. They did a quick search of the rooms they had been in and prepared to leave the lair to recover… TO BE CONTINUED!
