With the Basilisk destroyed the group moves on to find an old blind human. (presumably the keeper of the basilisk) He claims the lizard was not a Basilisk. In the next room there is signs of a slaughter. A butcher block with giant sized cleaver sits amongst dismembered humans and elves hanging from meat hooks. Perhaps food for the Basilisk…
Down a hall and into another room where there is a giant snake wrapped around a large stone with a sword halfway through. Max conjures a fire elemental and it kills the snake with a mighty 20 of a blow. Da’Nog pulls the sword from the stone and a secret door is detected by Greenleaf Longbranch.
Through the secret door and into a room where there are four Cyclopses sitting at a table arguing. Da’Nog and Thud attack. With a little help from the fire elemental the one eyed beasts are slain. In the next chamber there is a pedestal with a statue of a Cyclops standing upon it with a large shiny green gem for an eye. Greenleaf has his eye on the eye and climbs up the statue to try and pry it out. As he reaches for the eye the statue animates. Battle ensues but fighting stone requires blunt weapons. From outside the room Max slings a +4 bullet striking the statue with a 20. With a few more blows from Da’Nog and Thud the statue is destroyed and the large green gem is taken.
Greenleaf finds another secret door that detects as magic. He then casts protection from fire on Thud. Thud reaches to open the door and fire rains down from above. Making his save and benefiting from the protection from fire spell, Thud takes minor damage and opens the door.
In the room is a large chest made of chain. Zappa plays and sings a song to dispel the magic on the chest. Thud opens the chest to find 1,000 platinum pieces, 3,000 gold pieces, 300 small gems, a magical long sword and a platinum scroll tube that is no longer magical. Engraved on the outside are the words: Enchanted by Bigby for the Elvish Prince Elebriel.
Moving down another passage, Greenleaf discovers yet another secret door. (handy the elves are) Through the door and down a stairway brings the group to a tunnel filled with bones and decaying bodies. Ronj detects a trap that is a falling portcullis. Greenleaf is able to stone-shape the openings closed and disarm the trap. Further down the tunnel another portcullis falls. Ronj uses the gauntlets of rust to quickly corrode away the bars.
The group travels further down the tunnel to find stairs that lead up to dead end the Greenleaf detects as another secret door. On the other side of the door is an entrance with a suit of armor on either side. Above the entrance is a banner that reads: Nya ha ha
Max steps in and a magic mouth begins screaming: Nyah-ha-haaa… Nyah-ha-haaa…
Max steps out and the mouth falls silent. Within the adjacent room there are bottles of brandy and a human woman who appears to be cleaning. Da’Nog, deciding he hasn’t had enough evil in his life lately, jumps on the woman and rapes her on the spot. Greenleaf decides to try some of the brandy…
When Da’Nog is finished the group moves on to the next room. Inside there are two, very muscular, minotaurs. Thud and Da’Nog attack. Max casts magic missiles. Ronj removes the bicep from one minotaur with a 20! The group surrounds the second and soon both are dead on the floor. A magic chest is in the room. Greenleaf casts protection from fire on Thud. Thud opens the chest and fire rains down upon him again. He is protected fro the burns and the chest is successfully opened. Within there is a magical long sword , a spear, a trident and a small wooden box.
From down a hallway comes a firball. Followed by the familiar: Nyah-ha-haaa! Most of the group “save” the attack. Max responds with a lightning bolt doubled by his staff. Zagig yells with rage and Ralek the cleric falls dead in the electrical storm. Zagig falls and appears to be dead. Many trolls arrive and Max uses gem from helm to put up a wall of fire for protection.
Zagig then springs to life with another Nya ha ha. Da’Nog attacks and kills the pointy mustached magician. Upon inspection Zagig has a spell book, a key for the book around his neck, two magic rings, a large ruby and a tattoo of a kraken from his neck to his feet with one tentacle being his schlong.(johnson, genitalia, lizard… dick) All but the tattoo are taken.
Max brings down the wall of fire and Da’Nog, Thud and Ronj get the drop and kill them all. The group falls back to the brandy room. Greenleaf produces a scroll of raise dead and brings Ralek back to life.
After resting the group backtracks to the revers gravity room and into anther room where they find a head on a platter with a large ruby in the mouth. Thud retrieves the ruby and the party moves to another unexplored tunnel. They find a room with bones and rust flakes all over the floor. Three rust monsters attack. Max casts lightning bolt and kills two. Da’Nog jumps in to kill the third.
Moving through the room and down another tunnel, the group finds a barricade with orcs guarding the passage. Max casts rock to mud and the orcs sink down into the liquefied passage. Max then dispels the spell and the orcs are all killed when the mud returns to stone.

The party bickers over the wisdom of running from the Mage of the middle tower. Reminders of the stone statues enforces the notion to stay away from the wizards lair and it is decided, since the party has come this far, to explore the area they are in. The druid Greenleaf Longbranch voices his disdain for the party exclaiming that all they do is run away from every challenge that comes along. The rest of the party does its best to ignore his constant badgering.

A large cavern is discovered and scrabbling noises are heard within. The party throws in a light coin but naught is revealed. As the intrepid explorers enter the cavern a small troll child crawls into the edges of the light from their coins but is quickly picked up by a large troll arm that melts into the darkness. More scrabbling is heard ahead as if forces are gathering. Max, the druid/mu, removes yet another Fireball Gem from his Helm of Brilliance (3 left) and uses his magic rod to double the damage. The light of the fire reveals many trolls being vaporized. The party continues into the troll lair and is soon confronted by a large female troll accompanied by two smaller male trolls. The female strides forth with a look of contempt in her eyes and her huge breasts swing back and forth like large pendulums. Battle ensues and the Bard is quickly mauled. Two more groups of a female with two males soon join the battle. Greenleaf Longbranch is savaged by several trolls and quickly runs away to heal. Max throws up a circle of fire to prevent more trolls from joining the battle. Many cries of displeasure rise up from the darkness as the fiery wall rises. The party realizes that there are many, many trolls in this cavern. Thud the half-ogre fighter is hit many times due to his lack of any armor besides his shield and is nearly killed. Da’Nog the Barbarian uses his flaming spear of Talos to dispatch many a troll. The party manages to fight of the three sets of trolls and bravely retreats to the entrance from which they came. Max lowers his ring of fire and all quickly run back the way they came.

The party returns to the magic fountain beneath the center tower and bickers about if they should camp or not. A few rounds of healing gets the party 80% healed but all healing spells are used in the process. It is decided to push on into unexplored territory until a suitable place is found to camp.

The Bard finds a room with reverse gravity by stepping into the room and immediately “falling” to the ceiling. The group decides to camp here and uses a rope to climb down to the top. The next morning the group finishes healing up and then climbs to a door on the other side of the room and enters the hallway beyond.

A large room is soon found shrouded in mist. Fears of the basilisk are soon raised. Max casts a fireball into the far corner of the room and a reptilian cry is heard. The party explores and finds a fried giant lizard. In its lair are a magic suit of elfish sized plate mail, a magic gold ring and some melted gold and silver coin. Script is found on the ring and the Bard legend lore’s the writing and finds that it says, “Away” in dwarfish. The Cleric tries on the ring and says “away” in common but nothing happens. No one knows how to say “away” in dwarfish so the powers of the ring are still unknown.
