July 5th and July 12th, 2015 - 1st to the 7th of Sunsebb (Winter) 580 CY
Melath The Dark, invisibly cloaked, peers through the arrow slot and sees nothing. The rest of the party approach through the spinning tunnel and proceed to the next room. After Cymry pushes the door open they are confronted by the culprit who shot the arrow - and his magical lycanthrope lover. The Knights quickly send them to their deaths.
Further on, the party solves a sphinx's puzzle allowing them to pass into the western portion of the dungeon. They best a frictionless corridor and a corridor of heat induction.
They come across a mysterious floating stream and, having scouted it's route, determine that an ambush awaits them. The Modest Men come up with a plan to ambush the ambushers using water walk spells and stealth. The leader of the crew turns out to be none other than Sir Bluto Sans Pite - a well known criminal from the Free City. The party puts another several notches in their belts.
Moving onward the heroes come across a room shaped as an inverted step pyramid. Some of the steps hold water and deadly giant crayfish and sea lions, while other (dry) steps are occupied by scorpions and other deadly creatures. At the bottom of the inverted pyramid are three manticores, flinging deadly spikes at the party. The companions use their levitating spells to circumvent the upper levels and lower themselves into the pit of spikey death. The manticores, however, are swiftly dispatched. The party finds a door through which they pass.
The group emerges in a room in which an ogre mage disguised as a halfling resides. He surprises the group with a cone of cold, which sends Melath and Neirdre's souls packing. The rest of the party, with great labor, kill the creature. The last of the weapons, Blackrazor, is found among the dead creature's finery. The party exits the dungeon, limping to Kinnick with their dead comrades.
After retrieving their mounts, the remaining Modest Men make their way back to Admundfort and find generous priests of Heironeous willing to help bring their comrades back from the afterlife.
