Notes:

Having left Woodend the party headed into the rolling hills of Avonhollow. As they journeyed they noticed an unusual number of crows in the sky flying in what they decided was a searching pattern. Concerned but unable to do anything they pressed on and camped for the night.

The crows were still there in the morning, and they kept journeying on. A recent rockslide had taken the face of a hill off revealing the entrance to an ancient stone structure, and the party found it in the midafternoon. Deciding to explore, they tethered the horses and left the familiars behind to guard. They had some initial difficulty prying open the door but succeeded in opening the tomb. The outer arch was covered in runes which Grigor took a charcoal rubbing of. Fyn equipped Raskets with a torch, Frumious summoned his orb, and the party entered.

The architecture was extremely old. As the party progressed Fyn found several traps, one of which on a stair case dropped several party members into a dark pit that held two ghouls. Defeating the ghouls the party took the entirely appropriate length of time to search (1 hour to take 20). Doing so revealed a shortsword in the pit that was still in excellent condition. It was later identified as an Elven made sky metal shortsword +1. About this time Kyros communicated that he was defending the horses but it was not a problem. Continuing on they found the actual burial chamber where corpses of elven warriors lined the walls, and an elven corpse sat on a chair on the far wall with a silver circlet on his head. The party took the circlet, and exploring a partially collapsed side chamber, found 40 gp, 200 sp, and a silver mirror. Neither the circlet or the mirror proved to be magical. The circlet is similar to what a modern minor Elven noble would wear. The party exited. When they came out of the tomb they realized the crows were gone. They camped for the night. 

Fyn had a dream where he heard a voice questioning him about the events in the Dark Necromancer’s tower.  He felt that the voice was connected to the wicker gnome in Session 8. End Session.
