The next day Alzar, heads back down. Again, he has two more ghouls from the dead orcs that join him. He tries a different entry way and goes back to the crypt and heads down to the room that he was in originally where the head honcho was killed.

The bodies left here have been cleared out, and no one is on guard duty. They go to the bridge leading out and no issue with heading down. They arrive at the slave pits and slave chambers. There are pits and chambers below this walkway.

This room is high ceilings with two pillars holding everything up. A grid of 10’by10’ cells are marked by walkways on top, where Alzar is. There is also a few side rooms to the left and tight and stairs down from there. Over on this side is a platform with a drone aspis and a large number of levers Alzar moves in and casts Vampiric Touch. They were not expecting him to come this way, and from here he can see two drones crouching in ambush over a tunnel in from another direction. The drone takes 12. Two ghouls attack it and hit twice for 4 damage and failed saves, so it is paralyzed, and now killed.

20/51

XP – 50 for Alzar

They search the body and find a pearl.

The two drones have heard a noise and are moving this way. Alzar jumps out and orders his ghouls down the beams to the drones. Ghouls are good at climbing and stuff. He throws in a dagger to distract them. It misses. They grab darts and start throwing them, two a turn. Alzar takes 4.

16/51

They win init and switch to axes and hit just once on a ghoul, for 4 damage. The ghouls attack back. The first one misses three times The second does as well. Alzar casts Ray of Ondovir at the one that swung and misses. He commands the ghouls to push it over next turn, knowing how it will attack.

They do, and it falls, unable to correct its balance, 15 feet into an empty, but closed cell. It takes 1 damage from the fall. The other one kills the wounded ghoul with its axes.

The ghoul goes first and hits once for 3 damage. It makes the save. Alzar orders a Mist Ball which fails. The Aspis Drone swings and hits th eghoul once for 2 damage. Alzar tosses a +1 dagger and misses.

The next round, Alzar’s group goes first. The ghoul hits once for 1 damage and a made save. Alzar throws his last dagger for a miss. Megala flies in. The drone hits the ghoul for 4 damage. The next round, the drone swings and hits one for 3 damage and kills the last ghoul. Alzar goes in front and casts Vampiric Touch. 13 damage

29/51


Alzar wins init and slashes with his staff at it and hits and it takes 8 damage. It crits him once for 4 and then hits for 2 more.

23/51

The one on the ground is trying to get out. Alzar calmly starts dropping oil on it, and catches it on fire. Then repeats twice more until it dies.
