Checking out the part of the river that leads down under the keep, we run across a primitive shrine on an island and some boats. We fight some hags, deep ones (two groups, split by religious differences), and a giant tentacle crawfish. 2200/6.5 xp, 5 gems (worth 50 gp each), 15 gp, cap of waterbreathing, cloak of the manta ray. Lam destroys the shrine. Deciding we're not really equipped for exploring and fighting in watery areas (just not enough water breathing and swimming gear), we head back up and start to Yartar to shop. On the way, we're taken by the elven authorities who have some issues over the eay we handled the orc-elf conflict earlier. En route to elven territories we're attacked by earth cultists with bugbear allies. 5400/11.5 xp.
