The tunnel enters a room that is barren except for a ladder down in the middle. Alzar decides to go down. He is on the western end of a long thin sand bar on an underground pool. There is a chest on the island with him, but a crocodile slithers out of the pool. Alzar is here by himself and Megala and Dryshik, so he moves forward, axe ready, and it moves to attack. Alzar wins init and rolls a 10 and slashes the crock for 14 damage. It misses. Alzar wins init and cleaves it for 13 and kills it. The chest is opened and reveals 2000 gp and 3 100 gp gems. He checks the water and finds nothing in there and climbs back up.
XP - 150
The corridor begins to fill with an inky black smoke, and Alzar pushes ahead. It does not affect him. The corridor goes for a while and bends a few times, and arrives at a four way taurian obsidian room. The new riddle is:
It goes bare in winter
And fully clothed in summer
It is the most colorful
In fall but not spring
What is it
An easy one - a tree. The next room has a large wooden chest wrapped with copper bands. Alzar looks at it and it is unlocked, and discover a silver pile with a bottle on top in a snake skin, and it’s labelled.

Potion of Invulnerability
He finds a blank room with a tapestry of a hunt and nothing else. A cave in that hides nothing. A billowing gas ignored. A fountain with black water spitting from it. And a ugly creature on top. It animates and attacks - a gargoyle. This is a job for magic axe. It wins init and misses Alzar. He swings and doles out 17 damage to it. It dies. There is nothing else in the room.
XP – 210
