[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

The cave is searched.  You find a lot of bones which is evidence that the portal has been depositing prey in caves for a long time.  Until now, the mutated wolves were thriving so it's likely these mutants were the portal jumpers final destination.  There's also a lot of small pieces of Fur-bees in the remains.  It's no wonder the little creatures reacted so violently toward the mutants when agitated.  Digging under the piles of bones, chiten, wings and fur you find a couple of items that Simon identifies as magical that have survived being a chew toy.  First is a strange belt.  When carefully inspecting it you notice it has a button in the middle of the belt buckle.  You also find three potions, a couple of scrolls inside an adamantine scroll tube, and a beat up, heavy satchel with a locked odd book with a cover made from some kind of animal skin that's in surprisingly good condition.
