EXPEDITION: --date--

Expedition notes

Notes from this expedition are vague due to the time between the expedition taking place, and the notes being written up.

The party was joined by three new characters - Poppy the wizard, Plink the thief and Jimmy Goldenguff, a cleric. Plink recruited a retainer in town (Plunk), and the party set off to the dungeon. The party headed north to explore a hitherto unexplored part of the dungeon around the entrance, finding more decaying rooms of rubbish and junk. Two curious discoveries came early - a room covered in soot aside from several clean human-shaped silhouettes (the walls were wiped clean) and a room containing a huge gemstone-eyed smoke-vomiting stone head. This stone head spoke, and answered three of the parties questions (whether truthfully or not is yet to be known). After three questions the smoke was sucked back into the head, and it stopped speaking. One of the party (Fiona?!) pried out one of the stone heads eyes. At some point Fiona collected three large venomous snakes inside the throat sack she had looted from a giant toad last delve.

A little deeper into the dungeon a large room scattered with bones and rusted weapons was found - it had an unnatural cold to the air. Thinking better of it, the party headed south. Here they met some cannibals roasting one of their own for dinner, and met a glowing blue humanoid figure. It didn't speak, didn't appear aggressive, and was sobbing gently. Poppy played some calming music on her harp, and now the blue figure is following the party, shedding gentle blue light all around it.

South of here the group ran into a surly orc guarding the corridor, introducing herself as Korg. She advised against foraying into Orc territory, gave directions to the kobold market, and mentioned sightings of a red glowing figure on the second level of the dungeon. Korg's directions were to head east before heading south, so the party returned to the cold room, and pressed on through it. This lead to a large set of stone doors, engraved with dancing skeletons. After some effort the doors were forced open, giving entry to an eerily quiet columned and valuted chamber. South of here the party entered a small crypt, fought some skeletons found some gold in a coffin and decided to call it a day.

On the journey back to the surface the group was caught unawares by five giant ferrets. However, some quick thinking from the group resulted in them throwing a bag of venomous snakes at the ferrets, killing some of them and driving the rest off. The return to the surface was uneventful following this encounter, and the party made it back to Traitor's Gate more or less unscathed.
