• After last session, we were uncursed by the temple of Sleal, including Jek, to counter the Swarm of Flies.

• There are reports of Giant Toads in the Nobles Quarters and they are looking for a Thief with a frost brand sword.

• By the 1st of Blood Moon, Shin's information for the Sheel'sadorin quest will be complete.

The party is in the city of Mombafra and we are returning to the undergound ruins of Old Mombafra.

Oswald hires 2 Porters and a Link Boy.

We go to the outskirts of the well, the entrance to the depths of Old Mombafra.

Skippy has to be pulled away at the last moment so will not be joining the party on this expedition.

We climb down the well and go east. Oswald, Fothas, and Kirkwood are opening doors.

We open the eastern door and are now standing adjacent to the wall of the goat head carvings. Once again, Jek searches for traps and finds that something was reset. A BEAR TRAP! The trap is set with a claw that is triggered by a tension wire. It is not able to be disarmed easily so Fothas throws a hand axe at it.

The trap is triggered and clamps fly from either wall then clatter to the floor.

Jek searches for more traps and finds that there is another trap on the west side where the wall on the south has caved in. From ceiling to floor, the entire way has been blocked off. We see that there are pieces of slate buried in the rubble. The room looks stable otherwise but the archway has caved in. Fothas uses the axe to disable this other one.

Jek goes to listen at the door and uses a torch to check the door for movement. There is a 25% for Jek to Hear Noise but he did not hear anything.

Skippy has returned! He checks the rubble for anything unusual. He finds that features are carved into the slate, pieces that were once part of a statue. There is half of a face that looks Elven. In fact, the face is identifiable, if we knew who it was.

Fothas investigates the wall and thinks it would take an hour or two to clear it out. We decide to go through the west door. Oswald leads the way and we open the door. We come into another room and there is a door on the opposite side. Each rock shifts and grinds dully but there is nothing in here.

After searching, we find no traps and the stone looks stationary. It looks like something destroyed part of the floor as if something heavy split the floor that was more powerful than a human.

Oswald casts Find Traps but does not detect anything. Fothas sifts through the rubble as Skippy is eyeballing the ceiling. The Dwarf is looking for a turn in the stone. He finds no weapon marks but it looks like it was shifted by some other force. Nothing is hidden in the stones. Skippy looks for 10 minutes to examine the walls but does not see anything.

Fothas goes to open the door which reveals a staircase. It goes down to another door. Oswald's Find Traps does not detect anything.

We rest for a turn.

We go to open the door and it opens and then head down the stairs. Down here we see a square room with stairs on the other end (west) with a door on the south. Crates and barrels are stacked around the south and south east wall. Steps rise up on the other side.

Jek looks in a crate while the others check barrels. There is trash and there is moldy food in the crates. We find some old smelling water and then move the barrels and crates to get to the door. We do it quietly. Jek has his sling ready.

The party is now faced with a corridor which goes to the left and then straight onward and beyond the south door. To the left, we can see a metal gate. Which blocks the way but we can see the corridor beyond. It looks like a rusty old gate and there is a doorway in the middle that we can pass through. There is no lock on the gate.

The party tries to open the portcullis and then Skippy tries to open the portcullis, which succeeds and then it squeaks open very loudly. After opening it, the gate slowly begins to close. We duck through the portcullis quickly as Fothas goes to the other side and tries to open and then close it again.

Kradosk opens the door which is quite loud but nothing comes. We find another door in 50'. It is not Dwarven that we can tell. We open the door to the east.

There is some collapsed rubble to the north and an alcove on the right. What appears to be a dais on the north floor there is a rectangular room which appears to be a Hall. The steps ascend to an area with a collapse. There is a curved alcove with a hole in the middle that goes down. Skippy listens at the door but hears nothing.

The statue pieces are made of marble or crystal but do not look overly valuable. The statues had been carved stone with crystal embellishments as a decoration. The other half of the Elven statue's face lies at the foot of the crumbled statue, crushed by the ceiling. Smedley picks up the other half of the face.

There is water down the hole that looks unappealing but not as bad as the entrance. This is a well that was intentionally made with numerous animal droppings scattered around the edge. It goes down about 20' to the water level. The rocky sides inside the well are rough enough that they can be climbed easily. The droppings surrounding the well look something like a dog's excrement and it is too big for Giant Rats. It is apparent that something has walked through them.

On this level, we see that there is a glow to the south, a dim red glow and we can also make out something crawling around. There are 12 distinct glows coming from the darkness.

Jek fires his a sling bullet at them and everyone else is also shooting at it. Kirkwood falls back to form a protective line when, from out of the darkness, emerge 4 Fire Beetles. They scuttle out of the darkness and they make no delay in getting to us.

We cannot attack yet since they are still concealed in the darkness.

Jek goes to stab the Beetles with his daggers. They have AC 4. Jek kill one instantly and then does another 4 damage. Another Beetle is killed. So far there are 2 dead. Both of the others attack Kirkwood but they miss.

Oswald and Kradosk are attacked and one bites Oswald and the other bites Kradosk. Oswald takes 4 damage and Kradosk takes 3. In retaliation, Oswald hits one for 6 damage while Skippy did 16 damage. Oswald hits for 8 damage.

The Fire Beetles are dispatched!

Kradosk is healed and we harvest out the Fire Beetles' 12 glowing glands.

Door that we came through, we see several kobolds in the door way.

I cant see any walls or doors with infravision. Crystal is seen along the walls. We take the linkboy out using a cloak as a gurney.

We head out. We opened every door and nothing stopped us. We use rope to get him out to the surface, hes starting to come to. We drop off the linkboy and drop off our stuff

We pass by some laborers that are drunk, we also find a saucy tart. Takes 1 hour to get a new linkboy.

WE ARE DOWN HERE FOR FOTHAS'S DWARVEN TUBES Jek and Paren are both possibly interested in the Icon of Sleal.

Going back to the Well. We unloaded all our stuff.

Fothas lights a torch. We see a rocky incline slope that goes up to an elevated area where there are two gnomes beaten and gagged against a crude throne!

Jek is ontop of a Kobold Dais, ungags and untie the gnomes.

Cleshy and Knepso! They came down here hearing about the happenings at the wells. They joined the vagabonds plundering the depths. Joined a member of the group but instead the man bought and sold them. His name was Bethen. They thought he was a member of the COIN. Oswald heals himself. They came down with allies but were cut down by TOADS. They had a large collection of gold with them. While they are in our debt, bring some to the Blue Hood Inn back in town.
