Did Rokynskaldyn\u2019s offspring take the Ulthkarl of Anvale curse, and pass it on Cloverdung?
\nThe curse was passed on, but Cloverdung quickly cured it by\u00a0turning into a tree and back to normal again.\u00a0<\/strong>

The party finished up the dealing in town and wanted to get back to the Dwarven complex underneath the quarry. \u00a0So they went out into the Fishing Bear\u2019s courtyard and Gubikla teleported the group back to the Minotaur retirement party room. \u00a0The plan is to head back to the trap door and head down. \u00a0The party gets teleported into the room and it is dark. \u00a0The party notices a strange odor but not of rotting flesh like they would expect from dean Minotaurs. \u00a0The party finds that there are no bodies in the room. \u00a0Did someone cleanup the area? \u00a0The Othello and Tetranac starts sneaking down the hallway to scout out the area. \u00a0They come to the hole in the floor from the Umber Hulks and they do a quick check with nothing insite within the hole. \u00a0Bone is following up with his new flaming sword guiding his way. \u00a0Othello and Tetranac make it the the intersection and hear some noises from the south. \u00a0They decide that they should investigate as they would not want anything from sneaking up behind the party. \u00a0Tetranac and Othello head toward the room where the pools reside. \u00a0Bone checks out the Umber Hulk hole by poking his sword into the hole with no incident and cheches up with Tetranac and Othello. \u00a0The noises are pretty loud in the room ahead. \u00a0They sound like gnashing of teeth and body parts getting pulled apart. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the party approaches they see Ghouls tearing apart the dead peasants that were killed because they were being controlled by flying creatures. \u00a0As the Ghouls see the party they contemplate whether to keep feeding or attack the party. \u00a0They soon decide that fresh meat is better than old. \u00a0A battle ensues and party spreads out and attacks the creatures. \u00a0Othello and Tetranac shoot and kill a pair of Ghouls. \u00a0Gublika cast a fire bots and kills another. \u00a0Bone, Hammar, and Pete swing at the incoming Ghouls. \u00a0It is not long before it is done to one. \u00a0That Ghoul on seeing two clerics does not want pain of trying to be converted to their faith and rips his own throat out. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetranac and Othello sneak and scout back down the hallway and get back to the northern intersection and hear clanking of armour from the direction of the Minotaur room. \u00a0Othello is a little confused as where did this group come from. \u00a0Could they have possibly come from the Umber Hulk’s cave? \u00a0The group of Hobgoblins stop and start loading their crossbows as the see Bones light up the intersection as he approached Othello and Tetranac. \u00a0On seeing this Othello pulls out his lightning bolt wand and shoots it down the hallway. \u00a0Tetranac takes Othello’s lead and shoots an arrow that then turns into a lightning bolt. \u00a0The party gets there just in time to finish off the Hobgoblins. \u00a0Othello ask Tetranac if he can track the Hobgoblins back to where they came from. \u00a0Tetranac indicates he can and tracks them back to the opposite wall in the Minotaur room. \u00a0Right across from the hallway. \u00a0Othello does a quick search and find way to open the secret door. \u00a0Othello shakes his head and wonders how the heck he missed it the first time. \u00a0On opening the secret door it reveals a hallway heading west that comes to a corner and then heads south down stairs. \u00a0Right in the hallway corner is a glowing translucent cylinder of reddish light that covers most of the hallway. \u00a0There is not enough room for anyone but the Gnomes to inch by without hitting the cylinder. \u00a0\u00a0There are no runes that the party can see. \u00a0Pete cast detect traps and does not sense any traps. \u00a0Hammar tosses a silver palm coin into the cylinder and nothing happens. \u00a0Othello reaches in and picks up the coin only to find that it is covered in Dwarven gunk so he hands it back to Hammar not wanting to contaminate the rest of his loot. \u00a0Pete goes back and pickup up a Hobgoblin body and throws it into the cylinder. \u00a0Still nothing happens. \u00a0At this Pete cast dispel magic on the cylinder with no effect. \u00a0So Hammar does the same. \u00a0Still nothing. \u00a0Pete goes in and sits down on the Hobgoblin body. \u00a0Nothing seems to happen. \u00a0Hammar says fine and walks through to the other side. \u00a0Othello still not trusting it sneaks past without touching it. \u00a0The rest of the party walk through it and head down the stairs. \u00a0The stairs circle around several time leading the party several stories down. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the stairs finally come to an end it opens up into a octangle shaped room heading east. \u00a0In the room is a mother Ogre knitting in a rocking chair with six of her sons laying around the room. \u00a0There is a large fire in the corner of the room. \u00a0As the Ogre is sees the party coming into the room she says \u201cIt is dinner time, Boys\u201d and stands up pulling a large sledge hammer out. \u00a0Tetranac shoots one of the Ogres with his bow. \u00a0Othello shoots his three in one bolts at the Mom. \u00a0Gublika cast fireball. \u00a0Pete cast guiding bolt. \u00a0Bone take a swing at one of the sons. \u00a0\u00a0Hammar reaches into his bag and pulls out a jar that Boris gave him and points it at the Mom and says some magic words. \u00a0A giant lightning bolt comes out of the jar ricocheting round the room and then down the hallway. \u00a0This kills off the sons but almost kills off the party as well. \u00a0Now that the mom is mad and is out for revenge for killing her sons. \u00a0She starts hammering Hammar straight down with her sledge hammer. \u00a0Pete cast Prayer of Healing, Bone hacks at the Ogre mom. \u00a0Othello and Tetranac shoot the Ogre. \u00a0Hammar swings his hammer at the Oger. \u00a0After several blows the Ogre finally collapses and falls on Hammar. \u00a0Giving him a nice giant motorboat opportunity. \u00a0The party searches the Ogres and frees Hammar from being pinned to the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n
