The group (Lhoss, Hilja, Gnorica, Arnd, Tatania, Kyro, Armatzi, and Chiki) all had lunch in the warmth of the dim forest, just before the trail that goes down into the depression of Barrowmaze. The group had some discussion of what to do, and the group decided to explore the surface area of the Barrows and try to find the barrow where Calburn is suspected to be located (which was seen in the scrying pool earlier on).
After surveying the area a bit, the group proceeded to the main entrance, and then proceeded east a bit. A barrow mound of some kind was seen to the east, which had some growth over it. As the group approached, they saw that the growth was swamp weeds and cattails, and that the barrow was filled with dank brown water.
Kyro and Tatania were leading out with 10 foot poles and Kyro decided to probe the water with his pole. Unfortunately, he was completely taken by surprise by two giant toads, which attacked him voraciously and nearly killed him. The party came to the rescue, and were able to vanquish the toads, with Gnorica doing her patented flip onto the back of a toad and eviscerating it there.
The group rested, but were disturbed during the middle by some zombies from the north area. Armatzi continued to pray for spells (as he had used all of his heals on Kyro). Kyro was incapacitated, recovering from the attack, and also with a nasty gash in his side that could not be healed. Fortunately, the party were able to defeat the zombies after a scuffle. Hilja cast entangle for the first time, which proved useful in holding one of the zombies to the ground. The group then finished resting up.
