Has Cloverdung promised traveled the network?

Is Kavis the man behind the orb?

With the booming voice the party cautiously moves forward.   After much hesitation Othello shoots a lighted bolt up toward a gent he say in the darkness near ceiling.  It happens to be a orb on a gold chain.  Gubikla quickly shot it down with a frostbolt.  Othello then moved ahead and the narrowing passage way lead to a ben to the right and then a junction led off to the north again.  He peak around the corner and saw a swarm of mephits fly by and attack the party.  The thirty mephits turned out to be fire mephits and besides breathing fire they also were able to heat up metal and caused several party members to take damage from their own armor.  Even though the were easy to hit, it took the party a few rounds to clear out the mephits.  It the process Bone became possessed by his sword.   This caused the Dwarves to run past Othello where he was back to scouting head while the party killed the last of the mephits.  Mightychondria headed back to the vorticinal network ring.  The rest headed up the hallway passed the adjacent hallway where the the mephits came from.

The party came up to a intersection with the hallway continuing east and one going south but the wall on the east side of the intersection was round like the outside of circle.  Bone had managed to get back in control of himself and switched to his flaming sword so that it would light his way.  Mightychondria seeing this joined Bone and mad it back to the party.  Othello started to scout down the east hallway while the clerics debated and talked about healing and other spells that they should cast.

Othello ran into a giant lava golem.   He ran back to the party.  Here they engaged the golem and found out that they should make the ground a mud like consistency and slow down the attackers.  It also could shoot out globs of lava as a ranged attack.  One of these globs pinned Gubikla against the wall for a round.  Making him cast spider climb and then gaseous form to release himself.  Two more lava golems followed the first one a round or two later.  Randy was able to banish one of them while the party finished off the first one.  During the fighting it forced Tetranac to use the healing ring Pete made him.  This time instead of smelling like some type of onion.  He turned into a rabbit.   Luckily Hammar was revert him back with a magical rod.  The party was having a harder time hitting this second lava golem for some reason and it was starting to become a concern on if the party was going to be able to kill this one before the banished one reappeared from being banished.  But the party was able to kill it in the end.  Now to deal with the last one.

COD = Bone for scaring the party more than a potential dragon.
