They arrive at a split in the corridor. East or south west? South west. (roll randomly). They head southish. They arrive at a large room with nothing in it, three doors at the far end, and a hallway to the right. They go right. In here are 9 gnolls. They grab their weapons, and Alzar and party grabs theirs. In seconds, zombies clash with gnolls. Alzar casts sleep and three fall asleep leaving 6. Estiash and Aleigha are behind the zombies and can’t get in. The gnolls kill a zombie for 11 damage. The 6 zombies hit twice for 12 damage and kill a gnoll. The next turn, the gnolls go first and dice one zombies for 9 and kill it, and hit a second for 2. Alzar throws his dagger and crits one for 6 damage. The zombies swing and One crits a gnoll for 10 damage and kills it. Two others kill another gnoll, just leaving three up. They cannot retreat, and get init the next turn. They dice two more zombie,s the injured one and another. They three zombie skill a gnoll, and Alzar’s staff beans one for 7 damage and kills it. Aleigha pierces another for 7 and kills it too. All dead after sleepers die.

Alzar searches and finds 100 silver, a 10 gold gem, 11 gold among the group. They head back.

3 zombies left.

Alzar orders the zombies to try the doors. One is nothing, another is a false door with wall that slides down and kills the zombie (2 lefT) and the last one enters into a hall that quickly goes south or south east.

South it is. The pathway veers off again, south or west. South seems to end in a few feet, so south. They hit a room with a natural pool of water, and this must be the water source for the Moathouse. It looks like spring from underground. They edge to it, and see a giant crayfish in the pool. There is also a glint of metal at the bottom. The Giant Crayfish gets close to the top, and they attack each other by mutual decision. Alzar sworps it for 8 damage and it reels. Aleigha drops her sword into the pool. Estiash cracks it for 3 damage. The crayfish snaps at Alzar and hits once for 8 damage

20/51

Estaish hits it for 4 and Alzar’s staff rebounds off its shell. Aleigha stabs it with a backup dagger for 2 damage. It snaps at Aleigha who just hit it for 4 damage

14/21

It wins init and cracks Aleigha once more for 7

7/21

Alzar misses, Estaish slices it for 10 damage and finally kills the thing.


XP -100 each

Alzar is now at 21/51

He jumps into the water. The Necklace of Adaptation creatres a bubble of fresh air around you that no gas can penetrate, and that allows you to breathe underwater. The Ring of Free Action give shim full movement.

He grabs Aleigha’s sword, and finds:

Platinum Pin with giant ruby in it – 2000 gold
19 gold, 30 silver, 17 copper
A bone tube.

Alzar opens the bone tube after emerging and drying off. and it was water tight and has magical writing on it. Stored for later. A search above found nothing.
