While party (Maedhros, Torr, Idky, Squattingbeaver, Lowdog, Aine with Dresher, Stephan, and Yavin) is relaxing in the late afternoon within the ruined shell of a build, a ghoul bursts into room, firing a gun, which explodes. Then a gang of ghouls and shadows follow suit and surge toward the heroes.
Aine faerie fires the shadows. Torr charges to plug the hole but Yavin grabs his spear and manages to do what the paladin could not -- that is contain the corporeal undead, keeping all but one ghoul from pouring into the room. A ten-foot tall demon (glabrezou) attempts to telekinese Torr to him, but the young, paladin resists with airwalking.
Maedhros turns the shadows and one ghoul, which is trapped in the room. Torr starts smacking ghouls on his way to the demon.
Six more shadows pour into the room. A vrock appears inside the room, and an angel of death flies in, straight for Torr. The glabrezou attempts to psionically attack Torr, but fails. The shadows attack the others at the back of the room.
Maehdros turns the new shadows and another one of the ghouls
Lowdog and Maedhros both sense "something" over near one of the doors. The glabrezou tries to get to Torr but is blocked by the mass of ghouls. The vrock attempts to teke Idky, who resists with airwalking as well. Two more vrocks port into the room, although these are NOT the things that Lowdog and Maedhros sensed. Torr is getting swarmed by ghouls, the glabrezou and the angel of death
Maedhros misses one of the new vrocks with a Melf's magic arrow. Aine faerie fires all the ghouls. Idky calls up a spirit prayer.
Stephan and Idky both get scratched up by their vrocks. Idky accidentally clocks Yavin in the head while attacking his demon. 'Beaver finally wakes up, moves to attack the vrock on Stephan. He instead stuns himself...
Aine attempts to forget the two vrocks, but they resist. Maedhros turns the rest of the undead, freeing up Yavin to mind thrust the glabrezou, causing him to lose his next attack.
The door near Lowdog opens, revealing . . . . nothing. Then attacking from invisibility is the djinni, majorly damaging the totemic warrior. Torr manages to finally land a lethal hit on the angel of death. Aine breaks through the djinni's magic resistance to get him with a faerie fire. Maedhros likewise breaks a vrock's resistance with magic missile.
The now-visible djinni misses Lowdog. Stephan's vrock tekes him out to the gargoyles waiting in the hallway, but he goes gaseous along the way. Idky's vrock drops a globe of darkness over their area, but both Idky and Yavin can still see in magical darkness...
Idky attacks and hits his surprised vrock. Maedhros fails to break through the other's vrock's resistance with magic missile
Yavin mind thrusts the djinni.
The glabrezou casts fear at Torr and Maedhros, who both resist and stand their ground. Idky's vrock tries to teke Idky, who again resists with airwalking. The other vrock moves on Yavin
Maedhros moves in to assist Yavin, who is starting to look pretty bad. Torr whales on the glabrezou, stunning it. Aine manages to forget one of the vrocks. Lowdog kills the djinni
'Beaver casts hold monster, catching both vrocks and one gargoyle. Idky takes out both held vrock. 'Beaver max cures serious on Yavin, telling him to mind thrust the stunned glabrezou.
Torr drops the last demon and Maedhros lightning bolts the gargoyles, killing all but three, who are stunned. They are quickly finished off
Treasure:
Two giant scimitars (Lowdog totes them around)
Ring of gold & copper knotwork set with emeralds -- 9000 gp
Platinum ring set with diamond -- 8000 gp
Finely wrought gold ring with storm motif (lightning is silver) 4000 gp (maybe)

Gold earring with pearl stud -- 500 gp
Brass earclasp with onyx dragon -- 2800 gp
Fine gold brooch -- 4000 gp

Maedhros casts detect magic. Nothing is magical.
'Beaver and the healers tend to wounded.
Switch to a different building to rest and heal up with psi healing and regeneration. Everyone is fully healed by 9:00 PM. After two more hours, Yavin meditates back to near full psi strength.
After some preparation (strength spells, war paint, prot from evil 10', glowing ball for light), the group heads off in the dark to the center of the city. Encounter gargoyles along the way, which orient on Stephan and Yavin. They are easily dispatched.
Later, Stephan notices something behind them and yells out a warning. They're a bunch of ghouls with guns, who shoot at Stephan. Idky calls up spirit prayer. Aine lights them up with faerie fire. Torr charges. Yavin casts light spell behind the ghouls to light the battle area. Lowdog also runs to intercept.
Maedhros attempts to turn them and fails. Lowdog chops off his ghoul's head.
During the melee, one ghoul was holding back. But he then walks up to Torr and attempts to shoot him. He misses and throws away his gun. The lot of the undead are defeated within thirty seconds.
After healing the wounded, the group moves on.
About 11:30, encounter 4 ghouls, whom Maedhros turns. And shortly afterward, the group arrives at the crystal citadel.
Eeeps so far: 5176 each
