Session 7 - Delving a bit deeper Report

General Summary

10th of Lenzin 200   They harvested a poison gland from the spiders as well as some other things. But after that last fight, they decided to take another rest.Handing out some healing, they prepared to continue further into the ruins.   Following the hall to another double fdoor they found themselves in an active forge, seemingly manned by dwarven spectres. Though instead of becomming hostile, as long as their work went uninterrupted, they ignored the party and resumed their work. Beyond the spirits however was an uncovered chamber that they investigated. Entering the room they found three stone coffins, upon opening one, all three opened up and an undead warrior emerged with animated armored cohorts. Harper took a particularly hard slug to the face dealing him both physical and necrotic damage. It took some effort to ddefeat all three, but in the end they were able and claimed a glowing eye, a pair of boots and an amulet.   They moved across the hall and into a long kitchen, finding goblins at work, preparing some sort of meal. The cook goblins stood no chance. They recovered a strange skull cup and quite a bit of food. Bringing their spoils back to the steps, they went north and discovered a long trapped hallway. Following it around they found a large door leading into a gate house with a drawbridge leading over a black chasm. Velvet managed to pick an expertly crafter dwarven lock and lowered the bridge, finding a stairway down on the other side, they decided to double back and investigate the rest of the floor before venturing any furhter down.   They came back around to a brewing room, to find a gelatinous slime trapped and an alembic. They left it there to continue on, the next room opening uip into a dwarven audience chamber, where the chief Hobgoblin sat with his body guards. They stepped forwards and tried to talk the goblins into leaving the area. The hobgoblin cief picked up his shield and sword and bidf them leave or die. They chose to fight.After a brutal fight, they claimed a magical shield and locked themselves up in the throne room to rest.
