I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing more puzzles, along the lines where we could potentially uncover helpful information with knowledge checks, but for the most part figure it out ourselves.

I second that emotion.
On his turn, Dskani moves into a flank with Kildel and swings his urumi at the beetle.
"While that could be helpful, it also might be dangerous. According to these journals, whoever was here was trying to increase the growth of plants. However, some of them were merely inflated with flammable gas." Skimming over a few more books, Dskani adds "It seems like there may even have been multiple residents here. These logs are in several different languages."
"Hmm. I think this symbol on the spine of all these books may be linked to the Eye of Amrion."
Dskani skims the books, searching for any information about the Eye, or at least any previous adventurers.
Dskani locates a wand of cure light wounds, two bottles of lightning, a tangleburn bag, and a flask of alchemist's fire. Catching up to the others, he sees the stairway leading down into the dark. "I think we've found everything there is to find in the cabin." As he begins to make his way down the stairs, he draws his shield and urumi as his holy symbol begins to glow (casting light on it).
"I must admit, I don't like our odds of finding whatever patch of shrubbery leads back to the castle amid the long grass and birds. But, I don't see any other choices."
Leveled up and ready to go when everyone else is.
I'll heal us, but then it does seem like a good idea to rest."
"Now that we are out of danger, at least for the moment, I can channel some energy to heal us. I can do so twice more today."
Dskani skims the books, looking for any information that might help them. "What's the letter say?"
Dskani enters the cottage, looking around.
Dskani keeps an eye out for birds on his way to the cottage.
I would be in favour of recruiting some new players. I think having more people around might speed things up a little. ^ Agreed
"I think we need to get to that cottage!" Dskani casts magic weapon on his urumi.
Dskani attacks the new bird, after getting into a flanking position with Kildel.
Dskani strikes once more, leaving a gash in the bird's side.
Dskani draws his urumi and strikes at the bird.
Dskani will follow Isidora.
Unless someone else wants to lead the way, Dskani pushes through the brush.
"That seems like a reasonable course of action."
I'm going to to be away and unable to post for a few days, until Monday or Tuesday.
Does the foliage see, natural or magical in nature?
Dskani opens the door, after checking for traps.
Honestly, I'm not sure. This is my only means of contact with GM Ska, so I don't know what's going on.
Dskani investigates the hallway to the left.
"I can't seem to figure out what this orrery does. Perhaps we should investigate down one of these hallways?"
Does the key turn?
Dskani pulls the glowing lever.
"Unless there are any objections, I say we should pull the glowing lever."
Dskani examines the orrery, trying to figure out how it works.
Dskani follows up the staircase, urumi and shield held at the ready.
Dskani checks if any of the doors are locked, keeping an eye out for traps.
As Ilyana's Magic heals Dskani, he lapses back into consciousness. Once he sees the enemy is defeated and the light of the windows and torches, he dispels his light spell. "Thank you." "I can heal us all once more today. However, it might be wise to save it for later."
Dskani raises his holy symbol once more, and a burst of pale green energy ripples through the air. This time, though, it does not heal any wounds. The bright light eats away at the edges of the mysterious figures.
Seeing the strange blob of darkness lurch towards him, Dskani swings his urumi and it finds its mark with a disgusting squelch.
Dskani advances cautiously about 15 feet towards the first shuffling, urumi and shield at the ready.
