        Go back and retrieve a potion of flying
        Huginn, Laurent, and Jeremiah find us
        “Reunited and it feeeeels so good.”

        We are lowered down the Yawning Portal
        Move through a twisted maze of the undermountain first floor and encounter one of the Grallhund children – eldest daughter – as we are attacked by a squad of bandits
        Oh god so many bandits
        I manage to go and take down the bandit leader almost one-on-one. Completely humiliate him as I dance around his attacks and even hit him with melee attacks.
