Session #38

General Summary

Ouritzo, Sir Rob, Shiloh, Ro'Haru, Gladys, and the long-gone Sigor Bloodstop delved into the ToEE with henchmen Bruenor, Ira, and Bjorn, leaving Illarion, Delvin, Stu, and some hired caravan guards to hold down the wagon and be backup if needed. We checked in with Elmo, who seemed to be doing fine and offered to create a distraction for us. Shiloh said yes, then we headed down into the ToEE via the tower route. After passing through yet another secret tunnel, we came to a central room with a gong in the center with four doors. We contemplated ringing the gong when two ogres and two bugbears stormed out, demanding to know why we were there. The ogres were then convinced to ring the gong, then a whole bunch of ogres came out. Ouritzo then smashed a whole room with his new spell, Ouritzo's Necrotic Sphere. Everyone else bat cleanup and made short work of the few who survived. Gold was found in one of the ogres' pleasure rooms... and we quickly left, slightly queasy. We found a few more passageways to different areas that weren't mapped, so set out to clear the mapped area we had. We found several magic items, some of them trapped, cursed, or just plain mean in a room of statues of terrifying creatures, made good loot at the expense of some skelebros. We explored one more room that was a big bronze tub, but didn't wait to find out what kind of awfulness might end up in the tub. We fought a room of gargoyles pretending to be harpies, then gargoyles in another corridor, which left front line fighters pretty beat up, but Ouritzo's new spell sped up damage immensely. One last room just had some dead bodies of adventurers with some loot. Tired, but in pretty good shape, we returned to level several characters up at least once.
