A large force of lizard-folk sacked a human outpost near the edge of the nearby swamp (Dire Fens). The party was asked to investigate and stop the attacks.  They journey by sea to a small refugee village on the shore of the swamp, where they met a lizardman who fled his tribe. The lizardman tells them an evil tribe of powerful lizard-folk (the Black-Scales), led by a strange shaman and his new Scaled God, had come to dominate the other three lizardman tribes (the Red-Spines, the Yellow-Tails, and the Green-Backs), and forced them into the war with humans.

An assault is planned on the Black-Scale Village, where apparently there are still human prisoners from the recent raids being held, and where the dreaded Black-Scale Shaman resides.  The advice is that if the Shaman can be killed or captured, the Black Scales will lose their will to fight.  The three tribes march with the party to the Black-Scale Village, and the battle is joined.  The losses are horrendous on both sides.  But in the end, the Black-Scales are almost completely obliterated and the human prisoners freed.  Their shaman escapes, however, disappearing into the mists.

The party and former prisoners journey to the nearby temple of the Scaled God, where they think the shaman retreated to.  Almost immediately they are attacked by magic spells from within.  They fight a number of undead animals that guard the temple rooms before finally encountering a human spellcaster.  Many of the party and former prisoners are slain in the resulting battle, and the ones that live (Violet, Fariya, Gabriel, and Darithe) are captured, waking up in iron cages, stripped, bound and gagged.  The group manages to escape.

|Dace || 26 || 01:30|| Group discovers a small bubbling spring that seems to be bringing water into the cavern, and nearby a small whirlpool that appears to be draining water from it.  As they move to explore more, they are confronted by a huge, undead lizard-like creature.  Bizarrely, it does not attack them.  They find what appears to be its nest, which contains many bodies of humans and lizard-men.  They are able to scavenge clothing, some armor, and a few weapons from the area.

|Dace || 26 || 14:00 || Group rises and heals themselves as best they can.  They climb back up to the prison room to confront the dark man.  Opening the door out, they find his dead body in the entranceway to the prison, apparently the victim of a trap that they managed to set by pulling the lever in the room.  Fariya and Gabriel recover the Ring of Fire and Ring of Thought, respectively.

|Dace || 26 || 14:15 || Group enters a pentagon-shaped room with five exits and statues of hooded figures at the points, with much dried blood on the floor aggregating around one door.  They enter that door to find a foul pentagon-shaped room used as a temple or ritual chamber, with Markel's dead body on a stone alter, and Griffo Masse's body nearby on the floor.  Fariya sets the room ablaze to purge it.

|Dace || 26 || 16:00 || Group moves through the open double doors in the statue room and finds the place where they made their final stand against the necromancer and the zombie wolves before they were captured.  They find a pile of armor near the southern exit, including all of their garb, armor, and weapons.  Violet finds a suite of plate-mail that fits her and exchanges it for her damaged banded mail.
