[QUOTE="Tikigod, post: 4555956, member: 75310"] The heroes send Scranton scurrying down the small hole in the west wall. He squeezes himself into a small muddy room filled with corpses. The half-elf decides to grab the rest of the party before entering the room. In single file, Ern leads them into the small mud-filled room. While poking at the corpses, the floor erupts into an attacking mud slime. It blasts forth a rotting stench and showers the Heroes with burning acid. In the tight quarters, it is hard for the adventurers to escape the deadly acid attacks. But enduring the damage, the group finally destroys the muddy slime. After the slime attack, Morthos and Scranton argue to clear out the areas behind them. “Imagine,” Scranton describes, “we are fightin’ this Kalarel and a horde of monsters pour in behind us.” Nex counters with a plan of blocking the doorways with a wall of corpses. After some eye rolling at Nex’s plan, the Heroes backtrack to the hallways they had previously bypassed. The first passage leads into an area with a pair of small niches. As Ern and Morthos walk by the first niche, a translucent cube of slime flops onto them. Scranton yells out, “That looks worse than being in my mother’s womb!” Acid eats at them, but the fighter and the warlord power their way out of the gelatinous cube. Much to Scranton’s dismay, Ern puts the final hit on the cube. “Just like the mud slime!” Scranton yells, “I do all the work and you get all the glory!” Ern leans on his hammer and gives a smug smile at the rogue. A search of the area turns up a hideaway with kid-sized beds. Old bloodstains streak the floor and walls. “This is where Sir Keegan killed his kids,” Morthos says. A chest is found containing children’s clothes and toys. Also within is a crystal holding the image of a roaring minotaur. The Heroes have found Valthran’s Minotaur Crystal! More backtracking takes the party into the planning room of the chieftain of Kalarel’s hobgoblin mercenaries. Unnoticed, Ern Sparhenge trips a silent alarm. The hobbies spring an ambush! Nex sleeps several of the attackers and then Shock Spheres more into permanent unconsciousness. As the hobgoblin chief dies, he yells out, “My Bloodreaver brothers will avenge me!” The next room is a hobgoblin barracks. As the group enter, the hobbie soldier sprints down a hallway. Ern gives chase and Nex fires off a magic missile. Morthos opens the door to the north to guard against a flanking assault. Scranton slips in to kill the minions. A hobgoblin warcaster steps forward, guarded by the soldier that ran down the hall. The warcaster casts a spell. Red glowing hands grab Nex and draw him into the hallway. The human spell-slinger uses Expeditious Retreat to escape from certain doom. Morthos and Ern fight shoulder to shoulder down the hallway, enduring multiple Force Blasts from the warcaster. Scranton and Nex, hearing the booming spells, flank the hobgoblins from the northern passageway. Victory belongs to the Heroes of Winterhaven. Nex collects the heads of the warcaster and the chieftain. A watch is set and a well deserved sleep is taken. [/QUOTE]
