The cleric and thief injured, the magic-user sleeping off a poison gas attack, and the fighter at zero HP and face down in a lake, having used his last dying strength to hurl himself into the water in an attempt to dislodge the multiple stirges bleeding him dry. Fortunately, he's wearing a talisman that acts as a dose of Water Breathing potion... unfortunately, he's losing 1 HP per round, and his companions are holed up in nearby workshop, behind a stout door.At least they found/opened the secret door leading to the dungeon (which triggered the gas trap). They should be able to handle the stirges. They now know doing real HP damage will wake victims of the gas, and that stirges don't care for water. And there's always the M-U's Sleep spell. Of course, there are a lot more stirges lurking about. Perhaps they'll resort to arson... that might help. Maybe next session they'll get underground!The funny thing is, their current objective could be labeled the 'easy part'. Before leaving their home city, the party's goblin thief/detective just took a contract to avenge the death of a magic-user's sister. This pits the party against a local thieves guild. Seeing as thieves attract followers and found guilds at 10th level, that's the level of their opposition. In something like 10 minutes, I rolled the basic makeup of the gang, with it's dozen+ members. Plotting to take them out should be interesting. If they survive the striges. And, well, the actual dungeon...edit: and I remembered to roll initiative every round. Progress!</blockquote>
