They continue to the next room which is a dead end, earth floored area. There are numerous fungus in here, including some very large ones. As they move in, a voice shouts out to be careful, some are deadly. A lamia emerges and tries to charm them. Alzar makes it, the others fail, even the orcs. She starts to tell the others that Alzar has been affected by the mold and fungus and needs to be secured. A Mist Ball flies in and she makes her save and Alzar draws and sheathes the Sword of Lyons and disappears, then moves to pounce on her with axe, with +0 due to her CE nature.

He swings and deals 17 damage. She twists and tries to Suggestion him and fails. She wins init and just tries to stab him and misses. Alzar hits for 15 and then crits her for 21 damage and she dies just as his companions arrive to restraining him.

XP – 3000 for Alzar.

They find:

Gold Necklace – 1000 gp
Five Star Rubies – each worth 1000 gp
Bracers of Defense AC6
+1 short sword

They return and take a different direction from the room with four doors. They pass by a side corridor that ends in a circular room with nothing in here. They arrive at a triangular room with paintings of eyes and the symbol for the eye of fire on the walls. There are four doors to this room. Alzar orders his minions to open one door to the left and in here are 6 bugbears. Alzar casts Hypnotism and all but one are enthralled. A Mist Ball flies in, blinds the other one, and missiles fly in and kill him. The alarm is not raised.

XP – 250 Alzar

They move to the next room. In there are two bugbear leaders who immediately call for help. Smarter, more capable. The undead horde in and kill them. Out of the other two doors pop 4 ogres, a hill giant and a worg.

Now this is a big set of enemies.

Alzar orders everybody to stay back and conjures an Earth Elemental right behind the giant. The ogres move in. Est and Carum fire and hit an ogre for 17 damage. Orcs deal 6 more and it falls. Wassilon is trying to sneak in. Battle ensues.

The Earth Elemental punches the hill giant for 19 damage. It reels. Alzar’s axe hews into an ogre for 10 damage (Chaotic evil). Est and Carum run in. Wassilon fails to sneak in and makes a regular attack. He adds 3 damage. Arrows fly in for another 8 damage and the ogre falls. The worg and giant attack the elemental. The elemental takes 12. Alzar is attacked twice by ogres and missed.

They win init. The elemental takes 3 from the worg. Alzar is tridented for 9 by an ogre. He crits an ogre for 17 damage. Est and Carum add 15 and she dies. Wassilon hits the other for 3 more. The archers miss. The elemental hits for 9 on the giant. Alzar’s second attack misses (since it is just +0 right now, a 2 is a miss on AC 4). Alzar wins init. The Elemental misses. Alzar and the fighters kill the fourth ogre. Then they move in on the worg and giant. The worg hits for 5 more. The elemental punches for 28 damage and the giant dies. The worg misses. A dagger flies in for 12 damage. Carum;s spear crtis it for 13 and it dies.

42/56


XP – 1050 for each of the four

Alzar has his team search and they find:

Bloodstone Gold Ring – 50 gpx2
Electrum Amulet – 70 gp
8 silver plates – 200 gp total
Javelin +2
622 ep
Potion
2763 gp
17 gems worth 10 gp each
