Earlier this that week. Neon colored lightning emits from the side of the tower striking the ground in about 12 locations for miles around. One of these strikes was nearby.

Today.

Astrid and Derrick approach Fin about the lighting strike. He informs them that Drusila Ravenshadow had come down and needed an escort to see the artifact at the site of the strike. They accepted the job.

They purchased some supplies and set off that morning. Derrick was burt in the a confrontation with a glow worm and some critter. Drusila examined the shrine/nodo for several hours, and took some rubbings.

The went back to town without incident. Back in town Drusila informs Fin and the others that the symbols on the shrine has to do with a cave no one has been able to access. She needs to spend time translate to be able to use it. Astrid asked to assist Dru with her work and Dru accepts. Astrid learns a bit about the ancient language. The words shrine/node and control. Astrid and Dru are forming a budding friendship.
