The heroes descend into the sublevels of Durlag's Tower. On the first sublevel, The Hall of Honor, the adventurers find four statures of the Dwarven gods Moradin (the Shorn), Vergadain (the Hunter), Abbathor (the Delver), and Gorm (the Crafter). The statues animate as clay golems as chase the adventurers from the hall and down the stairs.
The second sublevel, Vergadain's Crusade, featured a number of walls of force and a vast quantity of dwarven firespirits, an ancient, potent and flammable alcohol. Hidden within the thousands of gallons of spirits were gelatinous cubes that tried to drown the adventurers in the spirits, but ingenuity (and a lot of held breath) prevailed.
The third sublevel was Gorm's Gauntlet, a dynamic tilting walkway device over a magma pool and surrounded by moving walls that nearly burned the adventurers while they dealt with swooping horned devils.
Sublevel four is themed to Abbathor's Greed & Avarice, with the room filled with piles and piles of illusory treasure, all cursed to any who would take it. By solving the riddles of the statues of the dwarven gods, the group were able to descend to the lowest level, Durlag's Tomb.

Within Durlag's Tomb were trophies from his heroic deeds in legendary times, but also an ancient copper tablet that seems to hold clues to the magic used to create trolls in ancient times, as well as Durlag's favorite battle-axe, Skeggox. While removing the tablet and Skeggox from the Tomb, the adventurers are attacked by Baron Rajiram's forces: a simulacrum of the cloud giant smiling one himself, supported by several warlords and two master thieves. After vanquishing the foes, the adventurers return to SEER with the tablet.

Found one Potion of Superior Healing, one Potion of Invulnerability

Story Award: Favor of Candlekeep. Your surrender of the copper tablet to the acolytes of Oghma at Candlekeep has them overjoyed. The Great Readers spend many weeks poring over the ancient artifact’s hidden meanings and may one day puzzle out where the missing section is located.
The next time you visit Candlekeep or interact with the faithful of Oghma, any Charisma ability checks you make are made with advantage.

The Logging Camp

There was a well in a village, sorta. New quest to Cleanse the Healer's Hall.
A slight kerfuffle when Grisch got possessed and sorta chain lightninged everyone a bit.

The Warband descends into the tunnel discovered under the ruins of Bloodskull keep. They discover a desecrated chapel to Ilneval, which they cleared of wights, destroyed the zombies of a beholder, an ogre, and two dwarves. Across the room they explored a room holding the wraiths of three legendary orcish heros.

The spirit of Ganash, Tusk of the North, recognized Densch's tenacity in holding the ways of orcs, even though he had been reincarnated, and granted Densch his greatclub, Frostshock.
The banshee of Yutriel, The Primal Scream, blessed the orcs for Grish's ferocity.
The wraith of Klannk, Defiler of Wizards found no arcanists among them and inspired them with orcish sign for power.

Fresh from an extended rest above ground, the warband returned to explore the west half of the complex. They faced a serious challenge when a quartet of water wierds, all guardians of the graveyard Lake of the Ancestors, set upon them far from shore.

After dispersing the elementals and swimming to the beach, they discovered the strange blue firelight was kept by The Blue Lady, the specter of a priestess of Yurtrus (orcish god of Death & Disease) as she stood watch over the Heroes' Vault and the honored dead of her clan.

Proceeding up a narrow tributary of the lake, the band came across a shallow in the river surrounded by a sandy beach. From the rocks attack six galeb durr a large rock elemental.
In conversation with the last of the rock creatures, it warned them to turn back from the ruler of the darkened sections beyond, the One Who Gives NightMares to the Never-Dreaming.
