Feeling that Barlspin is prompting him Watanabe volunteers, "I can cast a single spell that will likely cause it to ignore us. But I can do it once today and would limit my spell options should we require something else. Then there is the matter of finding our way back. I am for trying to move past it but should it be hostile I would recommend killing it. It is not truly sentient."
"Ok, guys let's move. We can't stay here all day."
Morgan starts moving to the passageway that leads to south with his pistol in hand.
Barlespin nods and follows, keeping facing away from the creature in case it uses its blinding attack.
Sinna accompanies the others, trying to not catch the blindheim's attention..
Zaraith will follow along behind the others, trying to keep the clinking of his armor to a minimum.

You move through the cave and the creature sees you and attacks.

I charge the blingheim and smash it’s head in with my earthbreaker
Ohitekan swings and hits the blindheim. The hammer crunches as it strikes the shoulder.
The creature retaliates as it snaps its jaws on Ohitehan's calf.

Morgan uses his pistol trying to kill the creature.
Then he reloads.
Barlespin pulls his sling and loads it.
With Ohitekah engaging Watanabe felt more comfortable advancing. He stopped short of the shore and cast a simple cantrip.
With a word of power and a flick of the wrist Watanabe conjures a globe of acid which promptly splashes right into the water harmlessly.
Zaraith moves into the room, getting into position next to Ohitekah.
Sinna raised her crossbow and fires, hoping to be fast enough to prevent the creature from blinding everyone...
The action is fierce but no-one seems to be able to land a shot.

Zaraith takes a careful step to the far side of the creature. He then swings down at it with his large sword.
Zaraith takes out the blindheim. With the battle over you have a chance to look around. A man's body, mostly eaten, floats in the pool. Little remains to identify the body, for the blindheim has eaten most of it and has ruined its armor and clothing in the process. A belt pouch on the body’s hip is still intact and contains 42 gp, a silver unholy symbol of Zyphus, and two water-tight potions of cure light wounds.
"Guys who will collect all the gold and other stuff? I am too weak for carrying stuff around." whispers Morgan.
Then he enters the southern corridor and looks to see what is inside.
Watanabe takes his 7 gold cut and a cure light wounds potion
Seeing how Watanabe collects his cut of gold Morgan also takes 7 gold.
"I could carry everything I guess. Should we take the unholy symbol along?"
If nobody disagrees, Zaraith will grab the two healing potions and the unholy symbol, as well as his seven gold.
Watanabe notes, "We can melt it down if it is offensive to anyone."
"Does anyone know the deity it honors? Should we perhaps make sure it doesn't contain foul magic?"
Ohitekan grabs his seven gold before checking the ground for tracks of the groups that have passed through here before
Barlespin also takes his cut of 7 gold pieces.
Sinna takes her share of the gold, then holds the holy symbol up and examines it, trying to recall if any of her 'lessons' mentioned this deity...
Then he enters the southern corridor and looks to see what is inside.
Sinna identifies the holy symbol as being of the god Zyphus.
Morgan moves forward into a corridor carved into the rock. It extends forward ahead of him.
Watanabe follows down the corridor, listening and looking as he goes.
A collection of crates, boxes, rubble, and scavenged metal lies heaped in the northwest section of this damp cave. Several strange chalk drawings of twisted, spiny plants, a strange three-legged creature, and emaciated four-armed humanoids mark the walls.
Morgan reloads his pistol and comes closer.
Sinna can't remember anything of more detail about the holy symbol, so she merely deposits in her pouch and follows the others.
Entering the cave she sees the markings and investigates...
.. shrugs and pokes about in the pile of junk...
Barlespin advances slowly to scout down the southwest tunnel.
Zaraith will move to look through the pile of scrap alongside Sinna.
Watanabe assists in searching through the debris and sketches the chalk drawings.
Searching through the rubble and crates you find strange tangles of wires and unusually crafted fragments but nothing usable. Also you find 7 silverdisks
Barlespin continues scouting down the southwest tunnel.
Sinna looks to Ren and Zaraith, and with their permission tucks the 7 silverdisks into her pouch for safekeeping.
She then follows Barlespin at a discrete distance, not to disturb his sneaking...
Watanabe sees Sinna take the silverdisks and says, "Would you mind if I had one of those? To study."
Barlespin moves down the south west passage. It ends at a ledge 10 feet above the floor below.
The temperature drops noticeably in this passageway, and a rime of white frost lines the walls and floor leading into the cavern beyond. What seems to be a light layer of brown dust carpets the cave floor beyond—a body of some sort sits slumped against the eastern wall.
Batlespin returns and explains what he sees to the others.
