Heroes: Imhotep (Priest of Ra), Qadir (Paladin of Osiris), Dante (Child Sorcerer), Viktor (Half-Orc Ranger), and Mahmud (Undead Hunter)
After clearing out the ruined fort, the group rests back in Klaar. Viktor mentions he knows a probably location that the orcs that fled would go. They all agree to go and checkout the other ruined fort nearby. After a bit, they come upon the ruins and see a front door. Thinking it would be stealthier to find another entrance. They do find one in the back in a small courtyard with two doors leading in and a well in the middle. While Mahmud tracks to see which door has heavier traffic when some stone looking tentacles come out to attack the party. The party sees the attack while Imhotep is staring off in the distance, wondering if Borlon will be found in all this mess. The party quickly reduces the tentacle count until Imhotep looks down the well and sees a stone octopus. Calling for Dante to fire down the well, a frost nova soon locks the octopus in place with just two tentacles left to hold him up. The party tries to kill the octopus, but end up severing one of the tentacles instead, sending the octopus to the bottom of the well.
Deciding the door on the right side of the courtyard was traveled less, the party enters. They are greeted by the beady eyes of several rats in a dilapidated storeroom. Thinking they are hungry, Imhotep tosses them a stone tentacle. The rats were not amused and start appearing aggressive. He signals Qadir and Mahmud to kill the rats. They wade in and cut their numbers in half, sending the rest scurrying. Imhotep then searches the room, finding 2 lengths of 50 ft hemp rope, 2 kegs of ale, 2 pickaxes, a barrel of brandy, a shovel, and a hammer. THere is no other exit out of this room so they head back to the courtyard after Imhotep has Mahmud put the brandy in his bag of holding.
They find the other door locked though. Seeing as they have no means of stealth here, they opt for brawn. Qadir, Mahmud, and Viktor all throw their weight against the door to no avail. Finally, Qadir busts the door down and flying into the room where three bugbears and 9 kobols await him in ambush. Qadir survives the first round of attacks, but falls to the second. Mahmud, Viktor, and Billi run into the room and make quick work of the odd grouping of monsters. When a path is clear, Imhotep pulls Qadir free of the melee and casts Cure Light Wounds on him, bringing him back to full health. The party eats some good berries to bring their health back up and Qadir almost falls through the unstable floor, but jumps free of the weak flooring. They also find some pouches with coinage on the monsters bodies. The group searches a room just off of the big room and find a pink potion that Imhotep tests and finds it is a healing potion. He holds onto it and they move to the next chamber.
The next chamber is a small chapel. As Mahmud and Qadir walk in, two troglodytes attack from camoflage. One throws a poisoned dart and hits Mahmud while the other tries to fear him, but fails. Pulling out the dart, Mahmud and Qadir move to take out the trogs. They injure one badly and stun it while Qadir keeps missing the other one. Getting annoyed, Imhotep walks in and slams his Mace of Evil Slaying down on the trog's head, crushing it completely and dropping it in one blow. The party then quickly kills the remaining trog, but not before it releases a stench that weakens Mahmud. Looking around, Imhotep notices dark evil runes and the image of an eye that looks familiar, but he cannot place what it is from. He knows the place is evil though and vows to consecrate it once he has time. He searches and finds a chest that when he tries to open it, triggers a trap that poisons him. Both Mahmud and Qadir start to feel the poisons affects, but both shake it off. Finding a key on the Trog, the party opens the chest and finds 18 silver pieces and a scroll.
Moving to what looks like an antechamber off the chapel, the find a room with a cell, 5 hobgoblins, and a gnome hanging from his feet. The party charges in and quickly kills the hobgoblins and they free the gnome. He says the leader is an ogre and he is magically enhanced. Imhotep offers his leopard skin to the gnome named Terren Goldstar and walks him back to the dilapidated storeroom with promises of ale and an admonishment to not get his skin pelt dirty. Leaving the gnome to the ale, Imhotep joins the party as they move to the next room.
The party finds a once cellar converted into a mine shaft. 9 orcs are mining and turn around to confront the group. Viktor challenges the leader of the orcs to hand to hand combat and if he wins, the orcs do what he says. Imhotewp makes a bet with Qadir for 10 gp on Viktor. Qadir takes the bet smiling. Imhotep asks the orcs if they want in on ths and they say yes and put 20 gp on their leader, whioch is matched by the party. The leader agrees and quickly punches Viktor twice. He does not do enough damage though and in one punch, knocks the orc leader down, splitting his jaw. Qadir pays out his bet, but when Imhotep tries to collect from the orcs, they refuse. He says if they do not honor the deal, they will die. They all yell death and charge in. Unbeknownst to the group, Dante was prepared for this and sets off a frost nova. He kills all but three that were able to get close enough to not be affected by the spell. Unfortunately for them, the orcs are quickly finished off by the party who finds a pouch with 45 gp and a collection of loose coins to the amount of 24 gp on the bodies.
Mahmud starts suffering from the poison which saps his strength and hurts him. They move to the next room and find the kitchen filled with goblins and three human slaves. It does not take long for the party to kill all of the goblins and rescue the slaves. Imhotep takes them to the storeroom for safety and one tells him the Ogre is named Bonegnasher and he is strengthened by the font of Earth. Imhotep returns to the party after checking that his skin wasn't stained, but being used as a napkin by the gnome and fills them in on the new info.
The next room is opened and the party sees a font in the shape of a gargoyle. THe liguid dripping from the mouth is glittery and viscous. Imhotep gets the urge to charge and smash the font. WHen he enters however, three shadows appear. He successfully turns them after one hits him. Qadir and Mahmud charge in to also have a new shadow appear for each of them. Vikto then enters and is also confronted by a new shadow. After exchanging blows and several party members having their strength sapped, they finally kill all of the shadows, leaving Billi in the hallway to not summon more. Qadir bends down to drink of the font and Imhotep follows suit. Qadir feels slightly nauseous while Imhotep feels a surge of power, but realizes it is not compatible with his own power and it fades. Imhotep exclaims they found the Earth font and asks if anyone else wants to try it. Vikto tries it and seems to have a rush of power that suddenly turns him to stone. Dante sees his friend in statue form and yells out,"You are in trouble!" Dante also tries the font but has the same feeling as Imhotep. Mahmud refuses to try it. Realizing they can't do anything for Viktor right now, they move on to the next room, leaving Billi to guard the door to the room Viktor now decorated. The next room showed a lot of rusty weapons, including several floating in space. Imhotep goes to see if the weapons are magical, when the gelatinous cube shows itself. It lashes out at Mahmud and Qadir, but they quickly destroy it. Colloecting the four short swords that did not degrade, they moved on. They find a hallway with doors out. THe first they try has a horde of treasure, but it is guarded by a carrion crawler. The party takes it down, but Qadir is paralyzed in the process when hit with the 8 tentacles. While searching the treasure and finding another healing potion and a light blue potion, a thundering voice yells out behind them.
"Who dares raid my treasure room?!?" A huge ogre with a stone-like appearancecharges out of the other door with two wolves. The weakened Mahmud takes on the ogre while Dante fires firebolts at him. Imhotep then takes on one of the wolves, killing it in one blow. Enragted, Bonegnasher calls for the other wolf to attack the Priest of Ra. Crusher attacks Imhotep for killing Predator and gets a good bite in, but Imhotep slays that wolf in one hit. The ogre and Mahmud are exchanging blows while a fire bolt drops the ogre. Imhotep, drinking down a healing potion, realizes that was a waste as the enemy falls. They finda small sack of 6 gems worth 25 gp each, a dagger, shortsword, another scroll, and another healing potion. THey also find a long sword, a set of chainmail, and a shield.
After looting, a few members of the party go back to Klaar to tell the Green Witch of the fate of her grandson. She is not happy and minor quests them all to fix him. She enlists her son and Viktor's dad, Rhom, to go get the statue to hold it in Klaar until a wizard passes by to undo the stone. It will most likely by the sponge wizard.
