CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

Wishing privately for the upteenth time that he might one day remember to procure a crossbow while in one of these nearby infernal townships, Jinx silently natters to himself while restowing his spellbook in his pack and rousting the drowsing Bauble from his spot at the gnome's feet. "Just get in the basket already, you beast! Shoo! In!!" Jinx herds the white cat into its riding basket, careful not to get too close to Bauble, lest the familiar decide to bite or scratch.

Standing erect and tugging as his rumpled clothing to straighten it, Jinx harumphs. "Got no password, lest one of you lot came up with something while the priest there was working on Merrick. Not sure how far we'd get going straight back down to the troll we set on fire, but I'm game. 'Course, backtrackin' a bit and investigating some of the passageways we passed might take more time than we're prepared ter spend. Just lookit the size of this altar area up here." The gnome motions to the sanctuary. "This place's probably an endless warren of evil, no telling how long it might take to fully 'vestigate all of it. And there's Jebediah waiting, too. Don't know how long he kin hold out." The gnome falls silent at this last.
 

Shoon watches the interaction between Jinx and his pet and starts shaking his head in disbelief.

"We do not know where your friend is being held, so one path is as good as another. However, we would do well to be thorough in our search. I suggest that we return down those same stairs but this time investigate the side passages that we avoided before."
 



Keep in mind, the side passages were one level down. The troll was two levels down. There were no side passages on the troll's level...
 


Day 8, early evening - Temple Dungeons

After recovering the needed items from Shoon's wagon, you quickly organize yourselves, with Sir Merrick and Zirat leading the way. Jinx quickly ducks behind Zirat, not letting anyone else get in between himself and his human shield. Aeron hoists his everburning torch and falls in line, and Deren brings up the rear.

You move down the stairs to the first level of dungeons beneath the Temple, and stop at the first intersection of side passages. A smell of dampness and must is light on the air, but you feel no appreciable air currents. As you try to determine which direction to go, a booming sound echoes from the north...perhaps the sound of a door slamming closed at some indeterminate distance?
