This left poor Smileon all alone. Smileon searched for new companions.Current band of adventurers ...Roondar Rivenstone, Gnome Wiz4Cassandra Brightblade, Human Pal4 of Torm (a.k.a. St. Cuthbert <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )Smileon Gribligtine, Halfling Rog4 (just caught up after being drained by Drakthar)Auran The Hulking, Human Clr4 of Torm (strength domain, likes to Enlarge himself)Earlier this evening we pretty much finished Chapter 2 "Drakthar's Way". A simple Cure Moderate Wounds Spell (also the very last healing spell in the Cleric's arsenal) narrowly avoided a possible tpk in the throne room.The Paladin was nearly killed when the party's  Rogue used a sneak attack against her finally revealing that he had been Dominated earlier by Drakthar. The Paladin had been going toe-to-toe with Drakthar using an Alchemically-treated Greatsword +1 on loan from Jenya.The dominated Rogue and Drakthar were flanking Cassandra and had her down to 2hp when a timely CMW from Auran brought her up to 21 hp. The Wizard was out of offensive magic and melee-ing with the Undead Throne (and losing). Cassandra finally brought down  Drakthar which released Smileon from Drakthar's domination. Together again, the party destroyed the Throne while Smileon followed the gaseous form of Drakthar having seen him use that form before (as a voluntary mode of transportation previously). Running into a Dire Bat slowed the party down, but they already noticed the other ladder across the tunnel. They eventually found the trapdoor beneath the treasure and poured holy water onto Drakthar's grave dirt destroying him.After examining the treasure, they tossed the 3500 silver pieces into the chest and decided to carry the Chest itself (with the other items both magical and mundane) out of the dungeon. They left the copper pieces untill they can get help moving all of it.This is where we ended, the party is preparing to leave the dungeon with their treasure and inform Terseon that the goblin threat is most likely over.The only place they havent been to is the last map with the Green Slime, Xoden Nightshield, and the Half-Orc mercs. So far they have no clue as to the existence of the half-orc merc part of the story <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=":(" /> . One of my players mentioned investigating the tunnel further though, we'll see what happens when we play again on sunday. They do think that Kallev and Chorlyndyr most likely had another accomplice being that their room had 3 cots that looked fairly used. In our previous session, they killed Chorlyndyr, apprehended Kallev, and brought her to the town guard above before going back into the dungeon. Kallev was defiant (and still dominated by Drakthar) and wouldnt give the party much information. If the party doesnt go to the last map, Ill have Xoden and the Half-Orc mercs moving about the dungeon as they are hauling their loot. This way I can still give the party bits of the story behind Drakthar's Way.This campaign is alot of fun so far.</blockquote>
