Fox elder is telling us a secret – split the people, council [Fur and the Bone]. We are tasked to find a map of the underground catacombs that riddle the ruins. There might be dangers that haunt the catacombs.

Maya – How will we know this map? Heading to the eastern shore, we are looking for this map in a specific area. We will leave in the next evening by boat. 10 man boat.

After arrival to the dock, we are attacked by swarms of rats, large rats, dire rats, and hulking rat-thing. Lucan fires off arrows, decreasing the number of rats. The swarms move in & Maya manages to widdle down the 2nd swarm a bit. Shinte goes stealthy. The rat-thing dives into the water and swims around the dock. Kohana manages to sleep four of the large rats, following up with a Fire burst & eliminates three of the large rats plus damaging a dire rat. The dire rats swim after their master. Maya retreats to cover the boat & is covered with a rat swarm, which he marks with a the Wrath of the Raven queen forcing them to attack, following up with a Holy Strike. Inyan cleaves a large rat & who drops. I summoned my Spirit animal that attacked a dire rat but did little. Hecheto used Sacred Flame to burn off rats that are swarming on Maya.

Lucan kills one of the prone/sleeping dire rats. Hecheto attempts to burn off more rats but the flames falter. The swarms chew on the meat shields to minor effect. Shinte attacks the rat-thing with a dagger and does moderate damage. The rat-thing returns the favor, biting him and potentially infecting the rogue. Kohana does an icy terrain that immoblizes the swimmers. Maya tries to fight off the rats and uses a Shielding Smite on Shinte which fails to work. Inyan beats on the swarm, which finally disperses. The spirit companion hits the rat-thing and gives a small bit of defense.

Lucan kills one of the prone/sleeping dire rats. Hecheto fires off a Lance of Fire which fails to hit the rat-thing. The last rat swarm drops due to radiant damage. Shinte continues to attack the rat-thing. Efram struggles to get up from the icy grip & fails. Kohana hits Efram with a ray of frost, slowing down. Maya uses the glaive & his daily power to smite Efram [bloodied]. Inyan uses a crossbow on the Efram, going wild, but spends a healing surge. My spirit companion uses Twin Panthers giving advantage to all around, then heals up Shinte.

Lucan arrows a dire rat killing him quickly. Hecheto uses a Lance of Fire to kill Efram, ending the combat. A quick search shows no nearby lair. Night has settled in & it's very dark. Upon moving further into Berkley, the group moves around a pack of dogs that were eating a deer. A short rest allows Kohana to cast some ritual to read Ancient writing. The group manages to down a deer, to fill our belly. I claim the rack as a shamanistic totem.

After a bit of time, we manage to find a BART station. Kohana examines the various machines and Shinte jumps the gate. Inyan follows after and gives stern warning to the impulsive fox. This alerts the BART security activating 4 metalmen. Lucan hops the gate & fires at a metalman but misses. The big metalman fires at Lucan, burning him, but he is healed by Hecheto. Both I & Kohana hold actions to see how things develop. The metal men move towards Shinte & attack him, but only go minor damage. Shinte manages to trick one into attacking another. Kohana uses icy terrain to inhibit 3 of the metal men. Inyan attacks the big metal men giving it a good whack, which Maya attempts to followup with the glaive but fails to hit on the first strike. I move closer to aid & summon the spirit animal to aid Shinte.

Lucan does Hunt's End to attempt to bring down the big metalmen [now bloodied]. Doing a large amount of damage & taking out the commander. Hecheto uses Lance of Faith scoring a slight wound. The spirit animal fails to hit, but defends. Kohana uses a ray of frost to no effect. The metal men rise up & attack, smacking Shinte around like a ragdoll, who retreats backward. Inyan leaps over the stairs & goes with Tide of Iron, pushing back the metalmen. Maya shifts a bit closer & uses his Divine Challenge plus Holy Strike but fails to connect, with a good followup [smacking around a metalman].

Lucan fires ineffectively. Hecheto fires off Beacon of Hope, healing the party. The companion does a defending strike & I heal up Shinte. Kohana continues to fire off Rays of Frost, slowly whittling down the metalman. The metalman destroys the companion [doing 5 pts to me]. Shinte continues to cower. Inyan continues to shield bash, knocking his target prone. Maya does a holy strike, finally dropping the metalman.

Lucan refocues, continuing to put arrows into the metalman. The Beacon continues to heal up the party, and the lance of flame hits. My companion does little as I resummon & use Twin panther. Kohana's ray does little, as the metalman hits Maya. [11 pts of dmg]. Shinte uses Piercing Strike [after finding his spine again][doing good damage]. Inyan & Maya beat on the metal men, dropping another of the metal men. Lucan fires & kills the last one.

The map is obtained.
