Did Horwinson\u2019s Cloverdung too good of an offer?
\nNo, the offer was not that good. Size C is never acceptable.<\/strong>

The party searches the Ogres and frees Hammar from being pinned to the ground. \u00a0The spell casters start complaining about how they have gone through all their spells and need to rest. \u00a0So while the two clerics rest and the Drow meditates, the others say they will keep watch. \u00a0Talin starts searching the north eastern wall and works his way around to south eastern wall. \u00a0Othello says he will work the opposite direction. \u00a0They find a secret door on the south east wall one section over from the gated door that Othello found a key for. \u00a0Othello opens the secret door and there is a hallway headed south. \u00a0Talin starts down hallway tapping his axe in front of him in an arc to check for traps and drops in the floor. \u00a0Once Othello and Talin are about 10 feet into the hallway the secret door closes. \u00a0Othello heads back to make sure he can open the door on this side of the hallway. \u00a0Talin is keeps going staying \u00a0on the west side of the hallway and goes about 20-30 feet and triggers a bear trap with his axe. \u00a0He moves around it and keeps going about another 20 feet and this time his axe must have missed the trap but his leg sure did not. \u00a0Talin tries to free himself but can\u2019t get the leverage he needs. \u00a0Othello tries to help but does not appear to have the strength. \u00a0\u00a0Othello pulls out some acid and it starts eating its way through the trap. \u00a0Othello tries to free Talin again and fails, so he starts heading back to get Bone who is keeping watch. \u00a0Just as Othello start back Talin is able to break free of the bear trap. \u00a0The pair head down the end of the hallway. \u00a0Othello searches and finds the secret door but does not see the way to open it. \u00a0He ask Talin as it is a Dwarven door. \u00a0Talin goes stretches and leans back against the wall to contemplate the type of door when his elbow pushes a stone inward and the door quietly swings open. \u00a0There they see a room that has a little less than a dozen large hounds. \u00a0They slowly close the door and Othello goes back to get Bone. \u00a0Feeling bad that he is taking the last man on watch he cast invisibility on the three resting party members and block open the secret door with the sledge hammer.. \u00a0Bone and Othello head back to the secret door. \u00a0Talin opens the door and Othello throws in a mechanical acid spray device. \u00a0Othello uses up some very rare acid but he feels it is worth it. \u00a0He kill one or two Hell Hounds. \u00a0The hounds are now rounding around in confusion as they are burning but can\u2019t make out way. \u00a0One of the Hell Hounds spots the party in the hallway and charges. \u00a0Bone and Talin slice it a few times and Othello shoots a bolt into it. \u00a0It dies but now a few more have figured out the party is there. \u00a0One of them breathes fire on the party. \u00a0One jumps over Talin and lands between him and Othello. \u00a0Talin attack the one in front of him and Bone finishes it off and attacks the one that jump behind him. Othello finishes it off with a bolt to the head. \u00a0Another breathes fire on the party before they are able to finish off the rest. \u00a0In the room they find two large silver bowls that Talin and Othello uses and hats. \u00a0Bone finds a large silver trough. \u00a0They open the only door. \u00a0It is the southern wall and opens into a hallway heading east. \u00a0There is a door right across from the open the party opened and a pair around 30 feet east. \u00a0One on the north wall and one on the south. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tetranac in a mediated state starts hearing crunching of bone that he perceives is happening the the room he is currently in. \u00a0He brakes his mediation losing any spells he was trying to recover to find that he is invisible and there are a couple of Trolls that appear to be in a eating contest with each other. \u00a0Each have one of the Ogre sons and is chowing down. \u00a0He sees the open secret door and no other party members. \u00a0He sneaks past the Trolls and heads down to the room and sees Bone halling the trough on his back with one hand and looking out the door with his flaming sword with the other. \u00a0Othello and Talin are next to him. \u00a0He calls out and lucky remembers that he is invisible and indicates who he is. \u00a0He tell the others that there are Trolls in the other room. \u00a0Othello ask him \u2026 and you just left the others in there? \u00a0So the group head back to the Ogre room, except Talin who decides that he needs a 30 min rest to recover from the Hound battle..<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetranac sneaks back around to the east side of the room almost lading on his face after tripping on the invisible Hammar still sleeping. \u00a0Bone head into the room to confront the nearest Troll. \u00a0Othello stay in the secret doorway and shoot the other Troll. \u00a0Bone slices a big gash in the first Troll. \u00a0Tetranac shoots the Troll. \u00a0Othello takes another round at the Troll but does not seem to be doing much damage. \u00a0Bone finishes off the Troll in front of him. \u00a0Tetranac shoots his fiery oil arrows at the Troll closing in on Othello and somehow has the perfect aim to hit Othello in the side of the head. \u00a0Not once but twice. \u00a0At this point Othello almost decides to use his Vedgris Dagger against the Drow instead of the Troll. \u00a0But better reasoning overcome and he hits the Troll and it is now paralyzed. \u00a0Where the party can easily finish it off. \u00a0But Othello heads back to the Hound room to have a peacefully rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

The party cleans up and searches the Trolls for any loot they may have. \u00a0The Clerics finally wake up and wonder what happened while they were asleep. \u00a0They party goes through the secret door and Bone is relieved that his trough is where he left it. \u00a0They pickup Talin and Othello in the Hellhound room and head out to the hallway. \u00a0Othello picks up a large smokeless fire ring, that was at the end of the hall next to the doors. Tetranac sees a eye that is watching the party. \u00a0Kind of like a magical surveillance system. \u00a0Talin tries to hit it with his axe but he is to short even standing on the rocking chair that Pete has carried from the other room. \u00a0Tetranac shoots it with one of his arrows and it shatters. \u00a0While the party is trying to figure out what to do next Hammar looks into the room across from the Hellhound room and sees bodies that are in all kinds of shape. \u00a0Some without heads, and some missing arms. \u00a0He quickly cast sun burst into the room and find it to be a meat locker with all kinds of bodies hanging from chains throughout the room. \u00a0Pete starts unhooking any bodies that are from the civil races and does a quick prayer over them. \u00a0Bone and Talin search a few of the bodies. \u00a0Hammar just stands there dumbfounded that he miss the opportunity to give the souls a beerous send off. \u00a0Othello uses his treasure sense dagger and tell the party that the treasure is down the long hallway and to the north. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the party get close to the next set of doors. \u00a0They see the southern door has been converted into sliding grate that has two locks on it. \u00a0Looking inside they see a sphinx that is held up by chains and his wings have be cut in half. \u00a0Talin brakes the top lock off and Othello picks the lower lock and slid the door open. \u00a0The party go in to check on the Sphinx. \u00a0Pete cast healing on the creature and Othello cuts the thread that has been used to stitch closed its mouth. \u00a0Bone is poking it trying to wake it up. \u00a0As it wakes up it roars expecting his captors to be there. \u00a0This alerts the guard\/tortures that open the door across the hall. \u00a0Out steps a Bugbear and is shocked that the party is there. \u00a0Talin swings his axe at it. \u00a0Bone rushes in and almost drops his sword but his new gauntlets seem to keep it in his hand and due to the shock stab the Bugbear with a furious blow. \u00a0Tetranac shoot at it from the hallway. \u00a0Othello and Pete try to free one of the chains that is holding the Sphinx but are having no luck. \u00a0The party kills the first Bugbear two see two others behind him. \u00a0Bone is able to split the one on the left in two. \u00a0While the others concentrate on the one on the right. \u00a0Othello feed up with not being able to free anyone pulls out his shoulder goon and shoot it through the crowd and hits the Bugbear. \u00a0Pete finally is able to free one of the chains but is knocked in face with the chain when it was released. \u00a0The party finishes up the Bugbear. \u00a0Bone come back into the room and easily releases the other chains. \u00a0Pete heals the Sphinx we now know is Leonidas. \u00a0Tetranac give him a potion of healing and Othello gives him his regeneration potion. \u00a0Leonidas starts to grow back some paw digits and his wings but it will be several hours before he has been regenerated. \u00a0\u00a0Leonidas tell the party thanks and ask if we are ready to go kill some things. \u00a0We are like sure, and head down the hallway toward the treasure. The hallway goes for a really long way to the east. \u00a0When the party gets close to where the hallway comes to a T with another hallway heading North and South. \u00a0Hammar goes hey guys I noticed a secret door back about half way. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But by that time Othello notices from the northern end of the very large hallway a two groups of humanoids wrapped in bandages caring cylinders heading toward the party. \u00a0Othello goes Oh crap, and pulls out his lightning bolt wand and shoots down the hallway. \u00a0The Mummies drop the cylinder and start rushing the party with faster than normal movement. \u00a0Othello shoot another lightning bolt but for some reason it does not go off. \u00a0Othello retreats around the corner. \u00a0Tetranac shoots his lighting arrow and it strikes one of the Mummies. \u00a0Bone activates a magic item and creates a circle that make anything that crosses it more vulnerable to fire. \u00a0Talin and Hammar swing at the nearest Mummy. \u00a0Tetranac get hit, but notices that there are runes on the bandages that give them resistance to fire and hast. \u00a0Pete does a prayer of healing and heals three party members while dealing damage to a few Mummies. \u00a0This burns up one into a pile of ashes. \u00a0Out of nowhere magic missile globes swing around the other party member and try to strike Othello. \u00a0But his Magic Missile protection belt saves his butt. \u00a0\u00a0Another swarm of Magic Missile orbs hit Pete. \u00a0Bone continues to slice through the Mommies that are close to him. \u00a0Hammar cast spiritual weapon that start attacking and seems to be doing decent damage. \u00a0Talin and Tetranac continue to strike at Mommies. \u00a0Pete continues to heal the party and damage the Mommies in range but is getting hit by more Magic Missile attacks. \u00a0Hammar knowing Pete was about to die if he got hit again cast Banishment on Pete. \u00a0The party finishes up the last of the Mummies and Othello teleported to the last location he thought the mage was, just in time to see him slip through a secret door. \u00a0\u00a0Hammar brings back Pete and the party discover that the cylinders are full of silver palm coins. \u00a0About 40,000 of them. \u00a0There are too many for them to carry. \u00a0Where is Gublika when \u00a0you need him to teleport us and the loot back. \u00a0We really need to get Leonidas out safely so we can say we finished another quest!<\/span><\/p>\n
