Synopsis
Rattler, Trill, Kalama, and Errk set out for the Bluespine Flats to the south of Cravenhurst, only going off Cicero's suggestion to seek out an artificer to identify the mask they found in the tunnels north of town.

They walk for a while, encountering only a vulture which observes them. Rattler attempts to talk to it, but it doesn't respond and flies off when he swears at it.

Eventually, the party comes upon a small encampment beside a cliff. A pair of figures appear to be asleep beside an extinguished fire and a cart with two horses. Trill and Rattler briefly look around the campsite, and find that the two sleeping people are a dust genasi and a tiefling. As they turn to leave, a tabaxi pokes her head out of the cart and, startled, awakens the tiefling and genasi. They engage the party in a round of combat, believing them to be trying to steal from them.

The battle is interrupted by someone shouting from the steep incline above them, and a half-elf followed by a humanoid construct makes his way down to them. He breaks up the fight and introduces himself as Hathaway Perchaladon, an archaeologist. Sheepishly, the rest of his party -- Piece, Metjen, and Temerity -- put away their weapons and introduce themselves as well.
