The party (Torr, Idky, Lowdog and Yavin) return to the Crystal Castle to rest. Yavin psi heals and he and Idky use their healing spells before taking a nap and returning to attack the troll's lair for Esmerelda.
The party ensures that the areas they were in before are clear.
Entering a new cavern, they encounter 13 bloodworms. Lowdog attacks with his new magic javelin and finds out it’s rather effective!
The rest attack with melee and missile weapons and finish them off quickly.
In the next cavern is a troll with dragon wings. Lowdog throws his new javelin at it, and between that and Torr, he dies almost immediately. Yavin accidentally finds that the flaming battleaxe is balance for throwing.
In the back cavern is a winged troll, who also dies quickly.
In the largest chamber of that area, there is a large muscular troll wearing chainmail. Lowdog hurls his javelin at him, and it flies out of the room. Idky chases him out of the room and gets ambushed. He gets critically hit in his right arm. In the ensuing exchange of blows, Idky gets critically hit again in his left leg. Idky, per his usual, doesn’t even score a hit. Fortunately, Lowdog arrives to rescue him. The fighters attack. Yavin mind thrusts it. The troll goes down in a flurry of swords and flaming axe.

A boulder blocks a hallway, which Yavin lightens, and Lowdog and Torr move it. Two half-elves were trapped in there by their uncle (the troll king). They thank them for rescuing them. The party escort them out of the caves, and Zayuss escorts them back to the palace.
