In the late afternoon, the heroes spoke with Jaroo, the druid of Hommlet. He explained he could not cure their lycanthropy, but could offer them cure light wounds and did three. The group decided to build a bonfire in order for Black Robe to join them and headed out of town. Soon afterward, some children began to watch them, but were scared off by Claudia. A few minutes later, the mage, Byrnie, arrived with two of his men-at-arms (Badgers), warning the party not to make trouble and to move their bonfire. Later in the evening, Terjon and Calmert also dropped by, but the heroes asked if they could discuss their situation over breakfast the next day instead.
Black Robe contacted Verna in her sleep and learned of the heroes' dilemna. He used the bonfire to cast a firegate and join them, curing Torr. Arné refused the spell and fled. The shaman then healed the group up and spent the night with them. In the morning, the party ate with the priests of Cuthbert, who were quite friendly until they learned of Torr's faith. They offered their help to the rest of the group, but not the paladin of Bahamut. Before the group left, they befriended a Suloise wizardess named Ulaanbaatar in the market.
The heroes took the short path back to Nulb and the Temple of Elemental Evil in the morning. They camped out just past Griffon Mountain, but were attacked in the night by a hill giant. The giant's first boulder nearly split Ulaanbaatar's sleeping skull (giving her a serious concussion instead). His second shot nearly killed Pigñolé in his sleep. Although Torr never woke up, the other heroes managed to defeat the creature in about 30 seconds.
Mid-morning of the 20th, the group reached Nulb and traveled on through. Outside of town they battled ten wolves, but soundly defeted them, even killing them before they could flee. The party then entered the Temple and continued searching the first level.
Verna sanctified the room the heroes had last been in using an hour-long ceremony. During this, two groups of gnolls attacked, but were easily defeated. At the end, the room caved in and the room was no more. The group found some sort of evil-meditation chamber and sacked it, then encountering (and slaughtering) a number of evil humans. Later, the party came across more gnolls and a bugbear, but were not strong enough to fight them, so Ichi closed the door to that area and barred it.
The heroes tended to their wounds (and Torr put on new chainmail after a javelin of lightning destroyed his!). They got ready to attack the gnolls, but just then were attacked from behind by more humans, led by evil priests.
Ulaanbaatar's web stopped the humanoids in their tracks, while Ziyi and Torr cleaved through those close to the heroes. Then, a torch and some flasks of oil pretty much finished off the non-humans. Meanwhile, in the rear, Claudia, Ichi, and Pigñolé fought off the men, but a cleric held the kensai. Ulaanbaatar vaporized the priest and all his nearby minions for his trouble! That'll teach them to bunch up in a hallway!
The heroes finished off all of the humans as well, although one priest managed to command Ulaanbaatar to "Masterbate" to keep her out of the fight. She ran him through for his efforts after she slept him and all his remaining friends.
Beaten and battered, the heroes did a quick search and are now pondering their next move...
