They head back to the door and head down. There is a door in front of them, and a corridor that heads to the left. The door opens and they see about 12 goblins eating at a table with their back to them, but as Alzar steps in, they suddenly grab hidden crossbows and spin! They were preparing an ambush of a different kind, but none of the bolts hit Alzar. They grab clubs and charge the group. A Hypnotism spell forces 7 of them to drop their clubs and fall down. The rest are easily killed, but Alzar took 4 from a club.


47/54 (gained life from the regen of his gem on the belt).

They search and find nothing but:

Large Brass Key
20 gp
Ivory – 75 gp

There is a man in a cell in here and the door swings open, and the man runs past them and starts gulping the food from the table. They move on.

The corridor is dusty and cobwebby above, and slopes down.

Suddenly, the axe flies from Alzar grip and hits the wall, and other metallic objects are being similarly pulled from him. He manages to wrest it free with his strength, and carries the armor from Estaish and Carum so that they can get past.

The corridor turns left and there is a door on the right. It opens easily into a small hallway that leads to a deserted room with a wooden table. A search shows a concealed door that simply has a winch to lower a stone block in the hallway in front of the magnetic trap in order to keep their own people from getting caught in it. Alzar turns it off.

They continue on and enter a corridor with a ghastly white shape hovering above the floor. As they get near, it appears to be someone webbed, and a clicking can be heard nearby. A web falls on Alzar, who is immune. He slips through the web and throws a dagger at one of the giant spiders above. It hits for 10 damage. It recoils and backs into a corner in the corridor. The fighters have arrived. Alzar grabs a +1 dagger and they move to the next round.

A dagger flies out and misses, clanking against the wall. A crossbow bolt hits the wounded spider for 6. Carum’s sling hits for 4 and kills it. The other jumps on top of Alzar and misses (cloak) but would have done double damage.

The spider goes first and tries to skewer Alzar but misses. The fighters kill it after dealing 39 with a hit by every one of them

XP 215 each

The corpse is cut down and searched and they find a Ring and add it to the magic pile.
