An ancient crypt was discovered on land just outside Westwatch being settled by House Downmond. In disturbing the crypt, the locals set free some undead. Our mission was to stop the undead from terrorizing the population.

Upon entering the crypt, we faced and destroyed about ten undead skeletons. There were traps we had to overcome, including one that turned the room into a giant furnace and one that would have unleashed deadly gas on us if we hadn't detected it.

At a pool of water, we fought a bone naga and a water elemental. Afterwards, we discovered the source of the undead menace: a medusa who was creating undead to fend off her lonliness. The medusa was once known as Lucy Galloguard, a sorceress centuries ago renown for her beauty and power. She had been living there alone for centuries.

Among the treasure we recovered a damaged ring of spell storing, a ring of warmth, and a few books, which I am taking into my possession for research purposes. [Not in the report, but the "few books" is actually about 300 books collected and preserved over the centuries likely including much lost lore.]
