Inside, with combat finished, Harvey and Boobons seal the tooth in a corner, then seal the temple entrance. They then dimension door away, and meet up with the group. Taliah and Shiela G give Boobons a quick check-up, and determine he’s got a disease.
+
+ - We book it towards Lon’s Thicket. Camping in the hills for the evening, we help Boobons heal up a bit, and then continue moving towards the Thicket. As we move, we see an obvious camp on a hilltop, but ignore the camp and keep moving. We leave the hills to dry plains. Boobons determines that the weather patterns of these badlands makes no sense, but they’ve always been this way, so whatever. That evening, we see lights in the distance, which we presume are the elves at Lon’s Thicket. Finally, we shall arrive!
