The night started with an attack by three swarms of hag moths. Marvis and Snickle quickly created light sources that distracted the largest of the swarms. One swarm attacked Bo, the other Marvis. Both were wounded, but survived. MelRakki provided them with advice to wash the poison off with water as he collected the hag moth bodies to make into contact poison. 

The party decided to explore the owlbear cave further. MelRakki found and tamed a baby owlbear. Snickle and Bo explored the pile of bones and found 39sp and a hard silver bracelet. In the back cavern they found a pair of 15' tall skeletons half buried in the dirt with evidence of a death struggle. A 10' axe lay in the dirt. Mavis decided he wanted to take one of the skulls as a curio. 

Then during the middle of the night, Snickle heard movement in the forest. It sounded like several creatures moving. They travelled north and did not cross paths.

In the morning they began the travel north. Others joined the trek north. Two travelers took interest in the owlbear. Bo confronted the pair, one of the men took an aggressive stance. He was entangled and sling stone bouncing off his armor. Bo sliced half the man's foot off and threaten the other man to cower. 

At the campsite, Snickle met a fellow tinker, Owen, who had his wife Loraine and his young son Randolph. Another group of three labors stayed to themselves. During the night the sound of several creatures moving through the forest returned. They spotted skeletons, a lot of skeletons, moving through the undergrowth. The line moved closer to the people. Everyone fled across the road, but were noticed. Marvis turned a few, MelRakki entangled more, but dozens of skeletons continued the pursuit. 

The party flew into the forest and came upon a cabin.
