The late afternoon of the 26th, Sage & Shang Drake left their home in the Garden Quarter of Greyhawk with Xarella Snowbird and Gilean Nyrell, seeking someone to translate the cuneiform document the draconians seemed to be after. They left Namuhni and Draegar at the house with their daughters, Rosemary (Rose) and Lillith (Lily). 'Course, the draconians didn't care...
A few minutes after the couple left, six flew over the gate, spied by Nicholai and Thug. The half-orc climbed the fence after them while the psi called them out and shot. Three took down the psi for his efforts. Meanwhile, one draconian ran terminally afoul of some of Sage's skeletons... The noise got the attention of Draegar and Namuhni. They started shooting arrows while Rose stepped forward to keep the archers unengaged. The nine-year old lasted one round before falling...
The battle continued and Thug took out two before dropping. One draconian sounded a horn when he was the last of the first salvo left, summoning seven more draconians. The archers took out a couple and Lily grabbed a pair of butcher knives to protect her twin sister. Namunhi switched to his sword and stood side-to-side with Lily. The nine year old dropped one draconian and the elf another while Draegar's arrows dropped more. The remaining four draconians fled, two getting shot out of the air on one foolishly circling back only to die from one of Sage's magical wards upstairs. The elf used his spells to restore Rose and then Thug and Nicholai.
By the time Shang and Sage returned, the situation was totally in-hand...except for the ruin staircase...!
Later, Gilean joined Namunhi, Draegar, and Thug in going through Survival of the Fittest. The Mages' Guild has restored the dungeon, now charging 100gp per person to enter. These four were the to run one last "test run" before the dungeon reopened to the public. They did well, but at the mirror things fell apart and Thug was lost. Only Gilean managed to use the mirror and used his strength to drag the elves to a safe, white room. They rested and returned, amazingly able to save Thug. The group already found the exist and explored more, going through the magic pool as well and finding the swirling lights. They had to stay in one more white room and find the new exit, but escaped all alive and well.
