In the Blind Iron Mines situated in Lower La Noscea, ghosts and monsters roam the caves, chasing off anyone who dared venture too close. Many men would vanish, bodies never found. Or so the rumors went. Yet two members of the Order, Shane Ma’iitsoh and A’ayzi Tia, seemed to laugh off the rumors when they heard them, having only found a weird looking fish and pretty rocks in the caves itself.

However, it seemed there was a change.. The rumors shifting with more and more evidence to back them up. The bats that normally hung about the caves had fled, animal carcasses were found outside the entrance and the mention of unspeakable horrors and sights within. It was then that the two of them brought it to the Order’s attention and thus began a plan to investigate the mines.

A small exploration group comprised of Alderique, Kyt'ir, A'ayzi, Madoc, Arshtat, Kuina, Shane, Rin set off towards La Noscea and towards the cave system. Upon entering they were hit with an obnoxious odor and a feeling of dread that only seemed to grow the farther and farther they ventured inside.

The source of the fear and the smell showed itself when Kite and Rin decided to poke at the small pool of water inside. Unfortunately, that source was a mutated cupfish. Smelly, awful and seems to have a temper to match as it instantly attacked the party. The group finished the pitiful creature off without too much of a hassle, finding the reason for its mutation to be the artifact it had chosen to swallow in what was likely a moment of greed. With that being done they returned back to the house to study their find. And all likely take very long showers.
