This corridor ends in a small square room where a table sits on the far wall. A silver chalice is on the table. Alzar investigates and it is not of very good workmanship, and the gems are pasted glass. It looks like a trap, so he leaves it. They return and hit another room. They arrive at a intersection with a sign pointing in one direction and saying that nothing lives there. He takes it. The passage ends in a small circular room and there is another zombie minotaur here with 12 hp and AC5. He adds it to his force. Nothing else can be found here.

He heads up from the intersection. There is a large pool of water covering all of the floor except for one spot on either side. Alzar investigates and the water is only a few inches deep. He walks through, all is normal, and they move on. They pass a circular chamber with a broken remnants of several different statues. There is a grey spiral staircase going up to a trap door and Alzar takes it.

It reveals a small, well furnished cell, with an iron door leading out. There is sobbing from the curtained bed. Alzar waits and listens, and hears the low hissing of snakes. The obvious thing is a medusa, so Alzar closes his eyes and moves forward, and addresses the person behind the bed, but the hissing shows she is attacking so Alzar and the medusa fight it out. Megala provides eyes.

She wins init and misses auto, Alzar slides his axe into her shoulder for 17 damage. He wins init and crits her for 13 damage. She dies. He searches and finds a small chest with 100 50 gp gems.

XP – 1000

The door out is locked on the other side and barred, and Alzar can’t get it open so he descends again. He heads forward and arrives at a room with a fountain in the center of a large open area. Alzar skips it and goes forward to a dead-end at a cave in. There is nothing here. He returns and takes a forking passage to another obsidian taurian golem room.

Sees without sight
Flies without feathers
Darkness is his
Favorite weather
What is he?

The moon? No, how about a bat? Yeah, that looks like it. Alzar guesses bat. Yup. They head left and arrive at a dead end room off the main tunnel. It’s another cave in dead end. He returns to the tunnels and finds the next room, a three way intersection. There are piles of rotted wood, once carved and painted and now decomposing. He sifts through them and finds nothing and the tunnel out takes a 180 bend and moves to another room. This section is behind the previous section, so it may go on for a while back here. There is a wild boar in here. The zombies and it engage. It misses a zombie. It is hit twice for 5 damage. It hits the wounded zombie for 5, and it is barely standing. The three zombies attack back and one hits for 8. The boar is reeling too. It misses. One zombie nails it for 5 damage and it dies. There is nothing on interest here and they continue.

XP – 50
