Thug shrugs, rushes forward- and pays the price, the pain is enough to leave him bloodied, and then with a Reaping Strike cuts the hexer down- almost. Through bloody and broken teeth the goblin grins again and draws his arm back to plunge the dagger in to the Jalissa’s gut, at that exact moment a shuriken loops over Thug’s shoulder and ends its journey buried deep in the forehead of the hexer. The goblin thumps to the floor- dead. Miss Teri steps out of the shadows, winks at Thug and then ducks back out of the chamber. Back in the crypt Snatch’s wounds heal over in an instant as Chigger recites his Healing Words, while Gargemel catches the last drake in his Burning Spray. Moments later two arrows thump in to the drake, the creature is bloodied and almost broken, it seeks to flee the scene- heading for the smaller chamber, en route it burns Chiggers with its Caustic Spit. The drake makes it to the doors and hurries with- straight in to a grinning Thug who smashes the creature dead. 602 XP Level 1 Encounter Hobgoblin Grunt Level 3 Minion x4 Drake Spitting Level 3 Artillery x2 Goblin Hexer Level 3 Controller Jalissa is quickly freed, her wounds treated, the Acolyte is in want of water, food and comfort; but is otherwise relatively unharmed, while she rests a while the chamber is quickly searched- the bodies of the fallen removed. More money is found, and added to the growing party funds- another potion of healing is recovered from goblin hexer, along with a huge belt located in a sack in the smaller chamber- Gargemel identifies it as an Ironskin Belt- Chiggers takes it for himself.

The adventurers take a well-earned rest and then plot their next move, there are exits from the crypt to the north or the west, the guys decide to head west. Comment: Only Thurann left to find, the guys are whizzing through this, and although the fights have not been that tough it all plays very quick- and dirty, with a few cool moments here and there. A most pleasant dungeon crawl that in parts makes perfect sense- thanks to the fact that the guys keep finding the prisoners dotted all over the dungeon, they keep getting a few more clues to their next target.
