Before leaving Ashvale, Lothar and his friends met an elf named Lioto, who had spent many years studying at the monastery in the city. Now, he was ready to venture out onto his own, and as he was making a pilgrimage to Seah Salem, it was decided upon that the Band of the Red Oak would travel with him for their mutual benefit.
Lioto was quick on his feet, helpful, polite, and neither quiet nor loud. All, including Lothar, took to him quickly.
A couple of days into their journey, the group discovered a subterranean entrance in the woods not far from the path - so discovered by Ajanni and Gahiji as they moved about in hunt for that night's supper. The consensus was that investigating the cavern was going to be beneficial, and the party disappeared down below ground, while Mick remained behind with the canines and the livestock.
Down in the cave, after battling a few strange underground creatures, the group came upon a portal, and after passing through, found themselves crawling from room to room combating several unsavory monsters - the undead, specifically zombies, wights, and a couple of pesky wraiths. The persistence of these creatures caused Lothar to fly off into a rage, wherein he killed many foes, but emerged from the skirmish quite winded, and before the threat was fully dealt with. At the suggestion of the party, Lothar utilized his Helm of Brilliance, but what was intended to be one use of the helm's multiple gems quickly escalated into five. Knowing the helmet had a limited shelf life if used too quickly, Lothar resolved not to use it again unless the situation were truly dire.
