Swift Currrent, a tabaxi rogue/monk reincarnated as a dragonborn, leads kobold rogue Mikmek, goliath rogue/cleric Eaglebane, warforged artificer Render, and new dwarven paladin Riswynn Ruby-Eye in search of some ruins along the Thorn River. Along the way they encounter a leucrotta ambush, some tricky fey boggarts, and a grove of reveling satyrs before arriving in the razorvine-infested ruins. There are some suspiciously lifelike statues there, and as the party begins to explore their fears are realized as they are attacked by several stone-cursed and a basilisk! As several of their party members become petrified, the remaining crew must figure out how to help them and still escape with their lives.
