Clifton Caldwell welcomes Alzar with open arms. He is distraught to hear of the issue with the hidden door, but news of the newly clean castle makes Caldwell quite happy. Alzar moves the bodies of the dead goblins to a nearby area and had them buried and marked with stones, so he can come back and animate them later if he needs to.
For a week, the three ghouls snack on the dead bandit while Alzar heals up. His two identify spells for the next two days reveal the vials as Healing Potions. He is even able to find some animal skeletons to bring him to 20.
Meanwhile, Clifton has paid one of the mages in the area to head over to the castle and cast a Knock spell on the door. It opens and there is a trap door going down. The mage won’t go further so Alzar has been offered the gig by Clifton. Because Clifton is still charmed, he again offers the full amount, and all up front:
200 gold.
1431 gold, plus gems and necklaces.
Alzar again heads out to the Castle and a few hours he arrives there, and again ties the wagon just outside the castle. A quick check shows that nothing is here on the first level. Alzar brings in the pack of ghouls. Here are the two new ghouls:
8 hp each, 19 THAC0, same attacks as Lastion. Intelligence low though. Ghouls made by them are not controlled by Lastion, and therefore not by Alzar.
Here we go.
