Despite Jotun's Tomb providing little from their initial visit, the party returns regardless, confident that they'll gain something from another visit. Descending into the unknown is Matthias, Hunzuu, Hurass, Sain, Halthor, Oogi, Jodah, and Aunil. Raiding a Tomb, it's fairly obvious that riches weren't to be stored away in a chest of silver and gemstone. They were to open coffins, desecrate corpses and do whatever we had to for the sake of income. This tomb was quick to show its deceptive nature however, as they found themselves in a room with three beautiful women, naked and chained up, adorned in jewelry and calling out for the aid of a hero. Their vivacious mounds of flesh dancing before the eyes of these men were nearly as tempting as the riches that adorned their necks, yet the party were not so easily fooled and quickly agreed that this was some form of unequivocal trap. All, but one tragically.
Sain, whose blood was quick to rush away from his head, decided to take action. He wanted to help those women, and while the others, true to their nature of being less than empathetic, were willing to let Sain walk alone into danger, Hunzuu decided to accompany his friend into what he was well aware to be a trap. Perhaps Sain would become overtaken by a demon aside from his own lust, or perhaps he'd be dragged away into an endless chasm of darkness almost as deep as the holes that he had wish to enter. Either way, Hunzuu believed someone needed to be there for him, and put it upon himself to accompany him.
He is now missing an arm after they both feel into a pit trap. There was a rumor however of a fountain within this very dungeon that could give a new limb so, Hunzuu did his best to not be deterred.
Unfortunately, they did not find any stations of limb rejuvenation. They didn't even find much in the way of treasure, only gaining a necklace that Aunil inevitably choked to death for after taking in the spores of an undisturbed coffin. But a rare instance of good fortune did grace these men in their struggle. Among the blood sucking parasites and skeleton warriors were a separate group exploring the tombs with plans of slaying "The Magi of the Trepanated Circle", a creature that no one inquired any furthur information about. The party was paid handsomely for a copy of their current map, and with this group having a goal that would have them explore this environment as well, the party began to discuss the possibility of enlisting them for help in the future. Whether or not they will become allies is only a matter of time, but these strangers were told to visit the party in Lestryhonia if they were ever interested in future work.
With what little they gained, they left the tomb through the freezing cold back to town, only barely escaping a less than ideal encounter with a pack of wolves, along the way.
Session 5 Downtime Events
Snow has ceased to fall from the sky above Lestryhonia. Snowbanks melted turning to wide puddles as large clouds spread across the sky disintegrating into thin wisps.
Following his return form the Jotun's Tomb, Jodah was approached by a large man with an ugly scar from below his left eye to his chin. His teeth revealed through the ugly gash, he introduced himself as Konig of Smarad. He claimed to be a potent fighter and offered his services as a warrior among Jodah's band of warriors.
Hunzuu searched for means of regrowing a new arm andwas assured that he could summon forth a terrible spirit and bargain with it for a new arm. He was later approached by men in white masks who introduce themselves as the Annointed of Tepes. They state they have an offer on behalf of King Huhalyn. If Hunzuu and his companions were to secure the swamps west of Lestryhonia ample payment would find itself into their hands.
Obsessed with the idea of turning that wretched horn into a weapon, Oogi searched for those who would be able to assist him. He was informed that that men with their lips stitched tight are the pupils of Ebon Pirithus. In exchange of silver they could possibly arrange a meeting with the Sorcerer himself. Oogi was further told that if he had traveled to the southwest of the Giant's Drown he would find a stone tower standing amid the swamp. The Sorcerer Arkad resides within but those wishing to gain his counsul would need to make valuable offerings.
Not overly perturbed by the past expedition Sain spent most of the week seeking solace. He was approached by a green eye child that placed a dried herb in his hand and in the voice of crows whispered "It will keep you safe from serpents." Sain gains a beneficial herb (remove poson).

They gained the following rumors:
1) A band of brigands, calling themselves the Fishers, make their home hidden amid the swamp west of Lestryhonia
2) The King of the Tridabaktrus was buried with a great deal of treasure.
