Delving Deeper

by Griska Ironrain

We spent some time tending wounds & searching the bodies & immediate area. We found a few interesting items, including some magic. We then returned back to investigate to the north. Opening another set of double doors we found 3 large ooze sort of creatures slowly moving toward our group. Rosa recognized them as Ochre Jellies. She knew that most of our weapons would not affect the monsters at all. We closed the doors and continued into the room where the crane had fallen from above. Here, we found 2 more doors. The door to the west led downward and north. We left that for later. The other door in the east wall led into a room with several creatures and pit with a sulfurous stench coming from it. The creatures were 3 Grothluts and a large snake creature wielding a sword with it's tail and casting spells! While the fight was annoying, it was no real threat. Afterward, we took some time to heal up before moving on. This room held a circular staircase around a central open area. We could see that the cylinder led both 40 feet up and down. There was also a window of some sort that overlooked a rough hewn cavern area. We could see no way through to the other side, but it was time to go back to town for a rest anyhow. We climbed the stairs & headed back to Otari.
We heard some complaints from people in town about the Mayor neglecting his job while he paid more attention to his daughter. We rested, with Sprite casting some Remove Disease spells on himself, Graklak & Rosa in the morning. Deciding we had no way to help the Mayor's daughter, we headed back down below. Taking up where we left off, we headed through the western door, into the rough hewn cavern. Soon, we were assailed by elemental earth type creatures, both humanoid and dog shaped. Sprite recognized the dog type ones as Sod Hounds. All had some sort of elemental shackles connected to them. They immediately attacked. These creatures hit hard, but we were able to manage them without too much problems. After the fight, Rosa and Zebott told us that we could have done a ritual to release the creatures, rather than simply pounding them into dust. We backed off, in case they reformed, to heal and take stock of our spells and whatnot. We were not interrupted and they did not reform while we did so.
