===Session Twenty Four - 30th August 2024===

====SHORT VERSION====
The group retreated from the mushroom room and decided to head in via the front doors instead, where they used Bazig's name to get past the three ogres in the entrance hallway.   Inside the main temple, they could see that the fruit trees, bushes and vegetables were growing abundantly, and the Bazig the half-ogre seemed to be running the place, four other ogres and a bunch of human/half-elf ex-bandits also lazing around or busy harvesting fruit from trees that seemed to be growing fruit at a magically fast rate.   Bazig was surprised to see the party, but Drex's silver tongue ensured peace reigned, and they discovered that the rear section of the ancient elven temple was an area that Bazig and company kept clear of, because it was home to a ghostly bear and a bunch of animated constructs.   

The group decided to explore this area, and quickly discovered a chaple, where swords animated and attacked them before they left the room, a dining room which screamed "trap", and a mediation room, where they encountered the ghost of the Minas Herion druid, Targanoth the Brave.  Initially in his bear form, he was persuaded that the party meant no harm, and eventually relinquished and provided them with the details of his part of the ritual that Feriae the Wise had told them about.  The components were some Ferangi mushrooms and a Jade Gauntlet.   The ghost showed them around the other rooms, where they discovered a magic ring (as yet unidentified) at the bottom of a pond on a skeleton's hand (where Drex got momentarily grappled by a giant constrictor snake) as well as 35gp and a scroll of Revivify under a loose tile in a sleeping area.

Using the Ghost, the stone golem and the animated swords as "back up" - the group intimidated Bazig and co into accepting a deal - whereby they would set aside fruit and veg that were being magically generated in the temple, and give/trade them with representatives from Tomar's Crossing.

Session ended with a long rest and the party's cart being brought around and loaded up with fruit & veg to take back to Tomar's Crossing.
