We emerge from the forest into a valley. Looking around, we see ruins of several buildings (not walled) about 2 miles away. There is also a cave nearby (no sign of active mining; natural?). We make our way to the ruins.

We begin to explore them. TheMarshall kicks down a wall–that was already collapsed. In the first room, we are confronted by 2 blink dogs. DoctorCharles attempts to bribe them with dried horse meat. 2 more show up. We leave and search another building first.

We go to the larger building. Ruins seems to have been looted in haste. We don't find much. We decide to check out the cave.

There is a door, ajar. There is evidence of traffic through the door. We enter the cave. We see Kobolds. Conversation with a Kobold.
