While working on their newly constructed Bastion near the forest's edge, Kamathariel and Venn heard distressed animal cries coming from the west. Investigating, they discovered a Lizardfolk Geomancer accompanied by three hired hunters attempting to capture a Giant Boar alive beside a natural spring.

After a tense confrontation, combat erupted. The Geomancer used earth magic against both adventurers, while the hunters attacked with bows and blades. Venn ultimately killed the Geomancer with Starry Wisp, prompting Kami to intimidate the surviving hunters into retreating. The Giant Boar escaped into the forest.

Afterward, Venn cast Speak with Dead on the Geomancer, learning that the boar was intended as an offering for something supposedly buried beneath ancient stones. The hostile corpse provided only cryptic, repetitive answers, leaving the ritual's true purpose and location unresolved.

Encounter Results: Geomancer slain, three Scouts fled, Giant Boar escaped.

Treasure: Lock of Trickery, Charlatan's Die, and Cloak of Many Fashions.
