A farmer needs help

Travelling east through the forest, They can hear a man moaning and sobbing in the distance. They investigate and find a farmer (Alan Horesenshade) weeping next to his horse and ox. He explains to the group that all of his animals have mysteriously been going blind lately. If this keeps up he won't be able to plow his fields before winter. He mentions that there is a cave near by that the adventurers might have a look at. They head over to the cave and find a locked door towards the back along with a bunch of very small doors up high. They find these strange half bat half snake creatures inside. They also find a dead Gnome woman who apparently has recently killed herself. She is surrounded by a large number of cages containing these bat snake creatures. They search her body and find some valuable items. Jin picks up one of the cages. Just then all of the other cages spring open. Prepare for combat. It is about to get bloody.
