Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!" - The Jabberwocky

The party discusses the three options that had presented themselves at the party: The hunting expedition with Roth Bruneyl, the warehouse that Nimia has in the forest, and Elrohir's old family estate.
The party decides they want to act now and not let Nimia get word of they party poking around. The party immediately decides against waiting for the the hunting expedition. Their talks focus on the warehouse and Elrohir's old family property. The party settles on pursuing the warehouse first.
The party check's their instructions and head out of the castle toward the warehouse. The land quickly turns a damp and after several miles gives way to a swamp. At this point Alex takes point and explores ahead with Lucius Telfane backing him up. Alex advances cautiously and thinks he can spy out a building through the overgrowth. Before he can explore the building though, a young black dragon emerges from a pool. The dragon makes a couple of cracks about being sent another cheap lunch and proceeds to close in on Al. As Lucius runs for the safety of the party, two smaller black dragon wyrmlings crawl out of a stream and immediately to work trying to eat him. The rest of the party quickly moves up and engage the dragon. After a tough fight the dragon and the smaller wyrmlings are defeated.
The party decides to root around in the large pool the dragon was inhabiting. Crash and Elrohir dive into the pool and start a salvage job when they encounter some sacks and chest at the bottom.
While Crash and Elrohir are in the water, several demons, a small beholder and a pair of quicklings turn up looking to kill the party. The party quickly haul up Crash and Elrohir and fight off the demons. As the fight goes against them, one of the quicklings flee for the safety of the woods.
