Our initiates have assembled a minor force of Skeletons and have set them to patrol the camp for intruders. If news of our presence reaches Elden Root, it would draw unwanted attention. While I doubt we will remain hidden for long, our new allies should be able to cover our presence for the time being. The cave on the hill bore some fruit, at least. One of the local "spinners" was quite forthcoming in regards to the history of this place. While I am not one for superstition, it seems likely these events are linked. We will begin investigating the tree's relationship to the wards immediately.
