(The one door they DON'T check for traps, and they stumble into the baddies lair...)Rutger, the tank swashbuckler got stuck in the revolving-door trap, and Triel had free rein to beat the snot out of him.As a last resort, the party threw their entire "Necklace of Fireballs" (obtained from one of the earlier dungeons) into the room.  The door absorbed a fair amount of the damage, fortunately, but everyone (the party and the enemy) was in bad shape after that (expect for Farwall the rogue).  Rutger, Nytrea the sorceress, and Nikolai the death-cleric went down, leaving the Pirate and the Rogue alone vs. Triel.  The swahsbuckler managed to harpoon Triel with "Morkoths Bane" (a masterworked harpoon he had specially crafted, with a tooth from the Morkoth on the tip), leaving her at very few hit points.Faced with healing herself or likely taking down someone, she turned on Captain Aaron, and critted him, killing him in one blow.Farwall barely won initiative, and the fight ended as Farwall YANKED the harpoon out of her leg, felling her in the process.  Unfortunately, that was also the final round for Nikolai who failed his stabilization roll....So, two PC deaths out of a party of 5, thanks to good playing (and a healthy dose of good luck) from the PC's.  Could've been MUCH worse.</blockquote>
