Ventured Too Far

<Among the remains of the elemental, you find a note soaked in oil and scorched at the edges. Most of the writing is barely legible, but you can decipher one critical excerpt.>

... stupid boss didn't tell us anythin' about this place. Not a norm ... tomb. Somethin' bad buried ... center of the forest ...

<This seems worth reporting back to the foreman.>

Why are you bringin' me a piece of paper, kid? Do I look like your teacher?

<Nert looks over the note.>

Well... That probably ain't good. But we didn't come this far just to quit because something scared off the last crew. Can't go back to the boss empty-handed, right?

<Nert looks troubled as he waves you off, perhaps trying to convince himself more than you that all is well.>
