In Hommlet, the group spoke with Terjon of Cuthbert and gained his support. He even sent along his acolyte, Shemp, to aid the party. Unfortunately, Beyarkmar wasn't having a very good time and needed to rest in town. The group divided the treasure and Rhiannon opened a scroll. Poof! Gone. Viktor will need to return to Klarr to tell their parents, so this will be his last run.
Early in the morning, the group returns. The moat house is literally on the way back to Klarr. As they approach, Mas noticed something in the water. The group (Mas, Two Rivers, Michael, Viktor, Jason, and Shemp) continues over the drawbridge and into the ruins. They searched the upper level and Jason, Mas, and Viktor spied a troglodyte camoflaged. The group gave chase as the bulky humanoid chameleon bolted down the stairs and into the wraith's lair. Once the whole group was downstairs, they carefully began to creep forward...into the trap!
Darkness engulfs the group. A wall of darts shoot at Mas who is also battling a troglodyte. From behind, more trolodytes close on the party, with skeletons trailing them. Jason sleeps three trogs and his snake takes out a fourth. Viktor stuns himself and takes himself out of the fight. Drow pistolbows start raking the area and Michael charges into combat with the thunderblade broadsword, slaughtering dark elves with each hit. Two Rivers was not so lucky. The opening volley of troglodyte war darts took the shaman out and the toxin on them kept him that way. Mas, meanwhile, had seven poisoned drow darts sticking out of him. Just as the toxin finally claimed his motorskills, he mashed the last trog. Jason saved Two Rivers and Shem while Michael and Viktor finished the rest of the foes. A single drow escaped...
