(Where did you go)

Dripping Caverns, North east of the wyldwoods forest

(Who did the party meet)

1. The party - Zamrud, Chromii, John, Corbeau, Hawkeiros.
2. The cartographer - Cartmen Diago.
3. Enemies - a shark, a fungus, and a mimic.

(What happened)

The party tasked to escort a cartographer. He is mapping out a cave. The cave filled with sounds of dripping water. Ground is strangely spongy. Noises are muffled and not echoey. We see crystals upon the floor. They are electrically charged and could shock you.

As we lit torch by entrance, we see a treasure chest's glint. Area is blocked by narrow passage, John almost stuck. Apparently the trapped chest has a magnifier, a silver key pendant with cord, and a longsword.

We met up further north, and saw large mushrooms. Corbeau and Chromii both took some. Apparently edible.

Found an old bridge over an underwater lake/slow stream further north (doesnt look stagnant but no ripples). It led southwest. Almost fell onto the water - it ended abruptly. A shark jumped me while dangling onto the bridge - turned into ingredients by John.

I fell onto water during the attack, but flew my way out (hurt arm muscle trying to pull both myself and shark up onto bridge). Decided to scout since I gave my wings a stretch - got caught up in another narrow passage.

Eventually managed to break free with Kirin's help - my summoned steed. Decided to rest up while waiting for the party to round up the long way around.

There were two chests in the last cavern, and a drop that leads further down deeper to another cave floor. Both chests were trapped. One contains a robe of eyes, the other is acutally a mimic! One of the gemstones in this area is even a mimic fungi.

We called it a day, and decide to explore the other levels after better prepared.

• Where did you go? (Name the specific frontier zones, dungeons, or landmarks visited).
  - Northeast from the gates of Dawnport into the wilds.
  - Dripping Caverns

• Who did you meet? (List the names of any key NPCs, factions, or major monsters encountered).

Cartmen Diago (Cartographer, a wizard that make maps for a living)

• What actually happened? (Provide a brief, 2-to-3 sentence summary of the main events, discoveries, or items found).

We are to map out a cave that was recently discovered. This cave has a weird property where the ground is spongy; but the texture is still that of stone. When you try to stab through the stone with a weapon (Chromii used a dagger), it breaks. Suggesting that it could be a new variant of stone. There were also purple crystals scattered around the cave, we later find out that it shocks you with touch. Whether or not this 'shocking' sensation is merly a feeling that resembles that of lightning or actual lightning remains a mystery; the stone itself does not have any indication that it was charged with electricity.

• The cave is narrow in a lot of places; caution for future adventurers not to wear/carry anything big
• One strange mushroom that was as big as a shrub was found; it's considered a delicacy when it comes to cooking.
• Notably, there is an old bridge in the cave, a landmark that indicates it's not completely unexplored or untouched by civilization.
• The water is shark-infested...
• The cave also stored chests, with one of them being a mimic!
• A violent fungi was also found disguised as a crystal. Future adventurers should keep note of this; apparently they can do that!
