Did Kavis get pulled into Cloverdung’s quest for his parents fortune?

As Gubkila finished of the cannon, Pete and Mightychondria walk in and Bone heads outside for a smoke.  Talin figures out how to take the oriculum plating off the door.  Mighty shifts through the armor and finds enough pieces to make a full suit of arms.  Othello investigates the serpent brazers and finds the word to to turn them on and off.  Pete investigates the rolling fire goons.  The party rolls up the carpets and find nothing of interest.  They push the throne a little. They even push the diace that the throne is sitting on and find nothing.  All is left is the dark sphere in the center of the ceiling.   Othello goes back out and retrieve the rope and the grappling hook.  Talin make a few throws and determines that there is a hole in the middle.  He eventually manages to check it on what later is determined to be a room divider.

The party scrambles up rope through the darkness into a cylinder room that is divided into thirds.  A dining area, and two personal quarters.  Othello sees a trunk past a six legged rug and heads over to it.  He sees three locks and finds one to be trapped.  He disarms that one and then goes to the first lock to unlock and fails.  So he goes to the second one and it seems to be a fake lock that only purpose was to cause a fire that burned up the content of the trunk.  Gubikla detect magic and only senses the fading magic from the trunk that Othello managed to destroy.  Pete investigates a mug on a table and is paralyzed for a short period.  But no one noticed.  Mighty finds and stuffed toy donkey in one of the bends.  Gubikla goes to the other living quarters and sinces something magic in the chair.  Othello starts heading that way but sees that there are some nice thieves tools on a workbench.  Hammar investigates the table and dining utensils.  Mighty looks at the china and finds nothing so he decides to push it down the hole. Tetranac looks up and sees a misty cloud that is covering a hole that leads to the next floor.  He throws a few things through it but it has no reaction.  He decides to levitate up through it and as soon as he touched it a large flash and Tetranac fell through hole to the first floor unconscious.  As he was carrying the rope up to the next floor there is no rope now to the first floor.  Mighty and Pete quickly strip the beds and make a rope out of the sheets and go down to help out the Drow.   Hammar cast dispel magic on the magic rune that was blocking the way to the next floor.  Gubikla sends a spider familiar up the wall to check it out.  From being able to see the next floor he cast dimension door and is able to keep it open long enough for Mighty to go through as well.  He is able to use a rope to pull the other party members up.  

On this floor the party sees at the northern part of the floor is a tree trunk that was made into a long table with a gong, a bell, and chimes.  On the east is a self with some scrolls and a fan.  The south is a truck and just to the west of that is a pentagram with black candles at the points.  To the West is a workbench with potions and glassware and ingredients.  Othello head straight to the trunk and as he gets closers the two locks start spinning and a pair of eyes open and start watching the Gnome.  Pete and Tetranac go over to inspect the pentagram.  Gubikla heads over to the workbench and starts collecting positions.  Mighty heads to the shelf and reaches for the fan and a flame appears and blast him back to the wall.  In the process he knocks over a stand with a sphere on it.  Othello manages to leap and grab the sphere before it hits the floor.  Hammar and Talin go up to the table and in the process of picking the instruments ring them.  This causes two Cockatrice, a pair of Basilisk, and something that look to be a combination of the two monsters, to appear.  Hammar is caught it one of the Basilisk gaze and starts turning to stone.  Talin squares off against one of the Cockatrice.  Mighty charges into battle and is caught in the gaze as well.  Tetranac starts to attack the monsters with his bow.  Othello shoot around the shelf and engages the Basilisk that is near Talin.  Gubikla turns around and cast Fireball.  Pete cast Dispel Magic on Hammar which counteracts him turning to stone.  Hammar cast Spiritual Weapon and attacks the Cockalisk.  The Cockatrice that Talin was fighting lays and egg and manages to attack Talin.  The Basilisk engages Talin as well.  Talin manages to finish off the Cockatrice and hit the Basilisk.  Othello kills the Basilisk near Talin.  Tetranac continues to attack the Cockalisk.  Gubikla attacks the Basilisk that rushed him.  Hammar is hit by the Cockalisk and feels poison course through his body and he is getting turned to stone again.   Pete tries to cure Hammar again thinking that he could cure Mighty, but fails.  The party finishes off the beast and Talin crushes the egg.  Now with two party members turned to stone.  The party decides to head back to town.
