Magisto Leumund, apprentice from the Forum of Vermilion Red

Party

Magisto Leumund (Magic-User 1)
Culael Cruearg (Ranger 1)
Kosti Modatius (Paladin 1)
Negharg (Barbarian 1)
Emana (Assassin 1)

Summary
The party rested in the Everhill village where they left the captured halflings. Joined by Negharg the Barbarian and Emana the Assasssin they decided to return the following day to the caves to find the lost boys.

Delving once again through the same entrance,this time the party decided to go through the unexplored passage on the northwestern side. This thight and crooked passage led the party to a cavern where similar small 8-legged mammals were moving around and drinking water from this pond with black water. Culael decided to fill a waterproof bag with this water.
 
While in this room the party noticed a light coming every now and then from the west. After investigating, they noticed a ball of flame moving randomly through the ceiling of an adjoining cave. The party ignored the ball of fire and continued southwest where a wide corridor facing west presented itself and there was a small passage going south that the party assumed went through the passage covered in fog they found in the previous foray.

Heading west the party stumbles over 2 dead corpses. Culael loots 5GP and the party notices that their wounds are on their right side much like a passage they see hidden in the wall in the right side. In this passage they find a bunch of rags where a stone tablet with drawings lies - it was left behind. The wall has a hole at the bottom from where they see an illuminated stone made room. While breaking the wall to give space to rappel down, the party hears noises coming from the wide corridor but decides to shut up and not engage.

The party descends using a rope to grab a plate mail armor on top of a pedestal. The armour is made of the same white steel as the sword they found at Hamly's trunk. In this room there are a few dead bodies. The party hears some unhuman giggling. Investigating they go through a torch lit corridor with a trap lying in the middle that they successfly traverse. At the end of the corridor there's a junction leading to a room. Negharg peeks through the keyhole and finds a bunch of creatures from different shades of orange, pink and green carousing. They head back to the corridor and continue where they find a second door.

"Let us hug you with our rusty knives!"

While approaching this second door Kosti trips a wire that starts making loud noises. The creatures stop carousing and move in the party's direction. Leumund casts sleep on them and a few fall. Angrily they move to attack, the party tries retreating to a door facing south but Leumund is struck down the same moment he downs one of the creature. Fight ensues. Negharg carries the bleeding Leumund. Emana shoots. Culael and Kosti fight. Some of these creatures fall but they are too many. From the second door similar creatures - but taller - face the party. The party passes the door and closes it. Kosti and Negharg hodor the door HODOR HODOR. Emana tries to bind Leumund's wounds. Leumund is spitting blood everywhere - it's a deep wound! Emana keeps trying to bind them wounds! The creatures force the door. Kosti throws burning oil at the creatures which halt.

"Leumund is dead", Emana concludes.

The party runs south, leaving the corpse behind, and find themselves at the end of the ramp with fog. They assume that if they run up the ramp they'll find the exit. They run with barely any vision. They reach the entrance.
