Or at least it should have been. Our DM was merciful on us. It came down to two surviving characters (cleric and wizard) facing Vog-mor (sp?). They couldn't damage him enough to defeat him and faced imminent death. Here's the DM mercy: he had Vog-mor open a portal out of his "belly" and told the characters to race to the exit. The winner would go free and the loser would be devoured. Amazingly enough, it was the cleric in breastplate and falchion with a 20' movement that beat the realtively un-encumbered wizard (can't remember how).  The adventure really went wrong from us as soon as we hit the belly. Once we were trapped in the room with all the NPCs, there was a bit of a stand-off between us and the orcs. Our wizard moved to the front ranks to negotiate and my barbarian came to his side as backup. Our druid was the only one who spoke orcish, and he heard two of them speaking in the back. One said to the other "Be careful, these people look dangerous." Our druid decided to tell us they said "These people look dangerous, let's attack them now and take them by surprise." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" />  Needless to say, this resulted in a large battle in which we killed the majority of the orcs, [SPOILER]thereby feeding the ranks of undead. We managed to stay alive for a while, interacting with the surviving NPCs. Eventually one of our players got impatient and went over the barricade separating us from the undead. We lost him and two other characters in the attempt to keep him from dying and creating one more undead enemy. We lost our thief near the end when Vog-mor was closing off rooms with flesh walls; she went into a room to grab some loot and was sealed in to die slowly. Ultimately, I'd say the adventure is best suited to a group who is considerably more subtle and patient than mine. :\ [/SPOILER]</blockquote>
