Report: 

Under cover of invisibility and darkvision, Ploikal and Gorakal infiltrate the farmers’ guild hall, aiming to discover what lies beneath the statue of Yiggub. Their mission is nearly compromised when an ectoplasmic pseudopod emerges from under the statue and attacks them, causing the guards to mobilize.

While the guild members deal with the strange manifestation, our duo sneaks into the council room where they overhear Morival planning a ritual for the new moon. After the meeting, they discover a secret room used for grain assessment and pocket a set of official guild weights.

Their exploration continues to the basement where Ploikal puts the guards to sleep after one raises an alarm. They loot jars filled with coin and trade bars, then manage to push aside the statue of Yiggub, revealing a wizard-locked trapdoor with an arcane seal. Ploikal’s knock spell breaks the enchantment.

Beneath, they find a natural cave system where animated skeletons assemble from scattered bones. After climbing to safety, Ploikal destroys the undead with a well-placed fireball. Proceeding deeper, they encounter three bulky humanoid snake creatures. After a brief but violent skirmish, they collect several valuable geodes.

The final chamber holds only an ancient stone altar smeared with strange substances. Deciding they’ve seen enough, they return to the surface and slip away into the night, their pockets heavier and minds filled with questions about what dark purpose the underground chambers serve.
