+<WRAP indent>//As things do in these sorts of situations, problems with our new outpost started before the carts even finished being brought in and unloading could begin. Gerrie, along with Tim and Spud, went into the mine to ensure it was in a sufficient state for our miners to get started. More likely, it was to find what kind of damage being lost to the Forest for centuries had done to the place. Certainly not a trivial undertaking, and it was clear the task was more dangerous when the three came rushing out, being chased by some manner of tentacled monster. The creature was not terribly difficult to deal with, but it alerted us to the fact that securing the mine would be a far more time-sensitive priority than it had been. Wouldn't want to go down in the books as the caravan that went out into the woods reclaimed by the Forest only to disappear mysterously the night we arrived. Too many of those as it is.

+We regrouped and gave our instructions to the crews we hired to join us. Once we were sure progress setting up camp and securing our immediate area from the outside would be in good hands, a group of us descended into the mine to ensure no surprises would be popping out to eat one of us in our sleep. Between more tentacles on legs and spiders with giant mushrooms, it seems safe to say the mine was full of presumbaly Bloomed creatures. I could feel Lucretia's desire to capture them for study before she voiced them, but it was decided that our camp was in no state to hazard containing a live, hostile creature. Resources would be our first and greatest problem for a while as we got this camp upgraded to an outpost. As such, we did our best to dispatch the creatures and secure the mine.

+There were a few hiccups along the way. Zarn's owl scouted for us, but ended up getting caught in the aforementioned mushroom spider webs. Given the nature of the webs and the spores the spiders released, I was thankful Gerrie had brought air helmets for us to wear down here. The webs proved exceptionally flammable, which was good for dealing with the spider problem, but without knowing what sort of supplies or resources may be further in the webbing, and general concerns about fires and mines, we hurriedly worked to stop the flames from doing too much damage.

+It wasn't all bad, though. We found some documents in the mine that were surprisingly still legible, and there were the remains of what I can only assume were crew that had been in the mine at the time, along with strange canisters. One such container had ruptured, and a glowing wall of squishy crystals grew up from it. Gerrie's tools indicated this was likely producing all the air that made our helmets largely unnecessary for normal mine operations. I'm sure Lucretia is going to enjoy figuring this puzzle out. Overall, once the threats within were dealt with, the mine was in surprisingly good shape, and with Gerrie's direction we should be able to fix up the admittedly low amounts of repairs to the structure.

+Now what's all this about another owl in camp?

+=== Ben (Zarn) ===
+After recovering his bird, Zarn and Xander regrouped with the rest of the party rather than pick a fight with the Arachnoceps. For its part, the fire that was burning the web started moving into the chamber making the Arachnocep hesitate to fight. Moving back down the main tunnel the party found another area that was glowing blue, with a seemingly dead Arachnocep down another tunnel. Ignoring that until the fire and immediate danger was settled, the group formed up at the mouth of the chamber where the owl got caught. From there they lured in 3 Arachnoceps and dispatched them all without receiving any damage. Zarn then made efforts to contain the fire so he could collect some of the web later. With that area secure, the group moved back to the blue glowing part of the cave. Dorian approached the glowing wall to discover it was not stone, it was instead some kind of growth leading from a cracked, ancient oxygen tank. There still existed some magical blue fluid inside the tank that the growth originated from. The growth covered most of the cavern wall and Gerrie walked up and touched it revealing it was soft, maybe even organic, and emitting a large amount of oxygen. Additionally a body was found close to the tank, long dead, the skeletal remains were contained within a broken suit that appears to be of similar make to the tank containing the liquid. Tiny specks covered the body that upon closer inspection revealed to be rust monster eggs. Nearby a long dead rust monster's carcass appeared to be as old as the person in the suit. A short and tragic story. Zarn cast detect magic and the group performed another sweep of the cavern to ensure its safety, with Zarn pointing out to Gerrie locations of mineable materials. The party finally left the cave with Tim casting Floating Disk so we can load dead bodies for later study. Zarn included 50lbs of fungus web. Exiting the cave the group looked up to find a huge Owl looking creature looking down on them.
