Several more kobolds are trying to deface it.  Before the party can attack though ANOTHER adventuring party comes from another passage.  "Those kobolds and any treasure are ours!" yells one of them.The Fighter who likes to rush into battles he doesn't need to start rushes them.  Its a 3 way battle!The Elf casts sleep knocking out all the Kobolds and half of the other adventurers.  Fighter wondering if this was a good idea to start something when there was nothing soon regrets it as his head is cleaved from his body. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /><img src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/h724Ile3UWMZG/200.gif" alt="Kill Him Remember The Time GIF" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Soon the other party surrenders as they are outnumbered.  The oldest cleric (not the new) decides to help these poor guys and decides to take them back to town and help them out for awhile.After looting Fighters body (new cleric takes that magic armor) the group checks out the statue.  There is a hex shape at the base for something to fit inside of... gotta keep that in mind.They proceed further and find a bathhouse area, where they find another cleric and an assassin also out for glory and decide to join the group..  In one room they find a glowing keyhole and the Halfling sticks a random key they found in it... setting off a trap.  A slab from the ceiling falls but he dives out of harms way.  Need to find the right key...In a pool of water they see a large diamond.  A couple wade in but are paralyzed by the toxins in the water and almost drown but luckily their friends get them out.Finding a room full of towels the Halfling declares "I am giving up we never find anything!" as he shakes some of the old towels and out falls a golden key (this really happened it was hilarious).  He sheepishly picks it up and they head back to the keyhole in the wall.Upon inserting it a silver glowing sword appears in the air.  He reaches out for it but a phantom soldier appears and attack him with the sword!  They can't seem to harm him but after 4 rounds he vanishes.  The halfling claims the magic sword!Past the keyholed wall is a small room with a shiny hex medallion on a pedestal. The thief walks in to see whats up and set off the magic trap.  Cackeling laughter fills the room and half the group falls to the ground laughing themselves to death!  The other half seeing them wasting away try to drag them out of the area while another runs in and grabs the medallion.  The laughter stops and everyone returns to good health after a few minutes.They take the hex medallion to the statue and insert it.  A secret panel opens up and they find a scrolls with a poem written on it. It confirms for them that "Her heart" is a large ruby.Now to find another way deeper in and up...----So current group, all level 2 except the elf:ElfCleric (new)HalflingAssassin (old cleric)ThiefBardCleric (old Fighter)Dimli the Hireling Dwarf</blockquote>
