 (//Battle At Ferrin's House//)
-When PCs arrived at Ferrin's House they found the front door ajar, the Darius NPC dead inside, and a cult member locked in combat with a soldier. The house was a facade for a two level dungeon(([[Arcknight]] Dungeon Map MSU-DU106)), and didn't help clear up who the supposed local Ferrin is. Above the front door was the triangle symbol known to [[The Cult Of Alden]]. After tense standoff, wherein the cultist argued that the soldier and his buddies were there to unleash things from below upon the world for their own benefit, which is arguably evil. In turn the soldier argued that the cultists were evil and this stronghold needed to be destroyed. The party sided with the soldier, murdered the cultist, and then not long after upon finding a stairway down to a second level, the soldier was killed by hostiles below before the party could progress.

PCs quickly figured this was dangerous and skirted the main combat to find several more doors, all with various beings behind them.

+====Triangle Dungeon / Level 3====
-  * Players returned and discovered the place just wrecked beyond repair, but there was one special door that had worried them before with some creature behind it telepathically trying to befriend then, get them to let it out, so they could be together, and rule together.
+[[Jules]], [[Urist]], [[Vesper]] & [[Sirona]] ventured to **Ferrin's Ruin**((At a game session in October 2026.)), found where the telepathic monster(Allegedly has been taken to Crompse.)) had been locked up before((See "Development" notes.)), barricade gone, creature gone. They were there on rumor of there being 3 gold dragon eggs hidden here. In the chamber where the monster had been was a trap door, leading down to Level 3.
-  * They opted to barricade that door with debris and leave it alone.
+Level 3 was nothing more than tunnels going to 3 chambers. Geographically spaced out to form a triangle as a whole, and the chambers themselves all triangle shaped. This is because the triangle represents the symbol for [[The Cult Of Alden]] and "**The Three**", the goblins who were [[Alden]]'s bearers for the [[Shovel Of Alden]] during the time period associated with the [[Toc Clan Coal Mine Event]]. All of this happened before Goldvale existed. The dragon eggs found in this dungeon came here right after the event.
+Speculatively speaking, Level 3 prior to Goldvale existing must have been a stronghold of Alden's and/or dedicated to the god [[Hayte]]. **The Three** chose this place to move the dragon eggs to //after// Alden failed to retrieve them during the Toc Clan Coal Mine Event. The three rooms here all have doors that feature the holy symbol of Hayte, which is a bloody dagger. Each room has a depression in it with magical runes that hex anyone reaching in and other abilities. The eggs were placed, one in each room, and it kept them in status. Also in each room was a table shaped alter to Hayte, designed for letting the blood of a humanoid, which channels into grooves, runs to the floor into more grooves, and leads to the depression with the eggs. The reason was to work some sort of magic to turn the gold dragon eggs into "blood dragons" for Alden's purposes.
+However, with Alden apparently not around after the event, and the runes having the ability to keep the eggs in status, **The Three** goblins must have decided this was the best place to hide the eggs from any hostile forces of any sort. There is absolutely more to this tale and the politics of this lost time, because obviously [[Goldvale]] itself and the [[Goldfish Pond]] came into being not long after, perhaps as a supplement to this or in some other related capacity. All anyone really knows is that officially Goldvale's scenario is in place to keep the [[Shovel Of Alden]] hidden/protected, but this might be a hushed element that is every bit as important. It's all speculation at best.
+The resulting fact to take away from this is that **The Three** are the ones who hid the gold dragon eggs here and not on behalf of the forces of Alden. The house levels would later be constructed above this site, perhaps as a disguise.

   * Cult & Soldiers alike seemed to have perished in this place, which isn't the same as saying all expanded members of both factions perished in this place...
+  * [[Player Characters|The Party]] went back, along with [[Skip]] who was the only one aside from the disgraced [[Matilda]] to know about 3 gold dragon eggs being here, and grabbed the eggs, taking them out of Ferrin's Ruin once and for all.
