Episode Twelve Recap

The party is once again all together, in the hallowed woods of Myth Drannor.  For the main party is has been but a few days; for Alecdora and Noah it has been years.  The party shares each other's stories and catches up.  The massive Roc that had brushed with them in Episode 10 returns to do battle.  They defeat the massive beast, and make their way toward Myth Drannor.  They come across a strange tomb of some kind, filled with traps, other adventurers, and unique enemies.  They first battle a Metalmaster, also known as a Sword Slug to Alecdora and Noah from the myths of old.  It is a beastly slug that has the power to manipulate and move all things metal.  In the tomb they also encounter a group of Dread (undead skeletal arms wielding mighty scimitars), which was easily dispatched by Limp Dick before the party had much time to even prepare to do battle.  Several Bone Nagas also blocked their way, and an even larger group of them arrived to harass the party while trying to rest and make camp.
The party fled with the help of Zirkin's Massmorph spell, and used the disguise to make their way past several stone giants, back to the battlefield they faced the Roc at.  Resting under the Massmorph guise, they were able to restore spells and health, and once again venture into the Ruins of Myth Drannor.  They return to the tomb and are teleported to a massive stone platform, with engraved words written apparently in some form of Dragon.  The party rushed away, leaving it behind and heading for the city gates.  Upon reaching the gates, the Mythal, or powerful weaved magic protecting Myth Drannor could be felt by the party.  After searching through the ruins, they made their way to the northwest, toward the main hub of the old city.  They were ambushed by a large group of the dreaded Blazing Bones, undead inhabitants of Myth Drannor.  After a mighty battle, with many spells turning chaotic, Zirkin was killed by an exploding Blazing Bones.  The party dispatched the rest of the enemy and took refuge in a ruined stone house off the main road they had travelled.
What will the fate of Zirkin be, how will the party escape the city, will they ever learn why the elves have all gone??
