Of course, retrieving the magical mines did not go as smoothly as Iskandar had promised. As the elementals began to rise out of the ground, I realized we had made a mistake in not asking for some of the money up front. Luckily, the TIP pulled together and prevailed. I'm proud of the team we are becoming.

But for some reason, this fight hit several of the party very hard. We'll have to keep an eye on one another, make sure everyone is cared for. I wouldn't want us to survive the physical wounds…
