The Hero campaign continued, with the entire Ring of Steel being present. Heading back from the guardhouse, you encountered a random party of bugbears, who happened to be making their way across the mountains. You fought and slew them all with little trouble (and for the first time fought creatures so easy that you did not qualify for XP).

Coming upon the school complex, you found the site busy with mining and reconstruction. Using magic to cover yourselves, you made for a small cave that seemed to have little attention being paid to it.

Here you found an area untouched for a long time, overgrown with fungus. You made your way to a stone door, slightly ajar, passing a few old corpses and skeletons along the way. Older players recognized this area as the site for Caer Falken adventure #3, though no characters are left in the party active who recall that.

Passing through the stone door, you found an intersection with a big closed door, a dead xorn and a cave in.

This is where we left the party.
