DAY 447 (23th Mirtul)(May)

Well, I left the cave until this morning in the end. So much to do at the Lost Refuge (I've given up calling the place Wisphaven as the Sharptooth Clan don't use that name.)

Me and Lavinia are in Weyloon at the moment, in a nice inn. Before I blow out the candle I'll relay the events of the day.

I must say first though, how much I like the Sharptooth Clan. Getting to know a tribe of lizardfolk has been really fascinating. K and his family are all wonderful - well, people - understanding, wise and noble. I really think, between me and K we will be able to build something really wonderful in the Vast Swamp. A lovely haven of peaceful wooded glades and breezy meadows next to clean babbling streams. Well, it's a nice dream anyway, I admit it is some way off. I should really do something about that stagnant pond in the north quadrant for a start, it's full of nasty stingy insects.

Very well, dear reader, to begin at the beginning of the day.

After breakfast we headed back to 'Giant Insect and Black Pudding Cave' ("Kuparuzztre-baknak-ooofffaz" in the local tongue), I turned into a giant bat and went in alone to scout.

I got to where we had found the stag beetles and I supposed up an army of crocodiles, all the while hanging from the ceiling. My 'wave of crocs' easily killed them and swarmed into the next cave.
Here we encountered giant bombardier beetles and the crocodiles killed them all off too. So far - the plan was working.

Keeping it going, summoning up more of my scaling friends as they were either slain or unsummoned we next encountered another black pudding. They can apparently get up cave walls quite quickly and have an alarmingly long reach - as I discovered. I fell from the ceiling as it grabbed me, but luckily managed to flap out of its goo and make my way back out. I then sent in another swarm of crocodiles to tail slap the thing into froth.

Just as I was getting my breath back a gargantuan spider approached from the northern cave entrance! A fascinating creature, truly, but it only wanted to eat me. My druid influence have no effect on insects, no matter how massive - and this thing was huge!

It webbed me to the wall (as a bat), but I stone shaped a small tunnel and turned into a viper. I then slithered back to the main entrance and met the others again. A few more critters cleared out of the Kupa Cave then, but still more to do.
