Hey hey hey…..its whiiiiiite pudding!

With the elf’s charmed pudding in tow, the group resumes exploration and uses a secret door to gain entrance ot a chamber occupied by a number of orcs. The orcs attempt to brain the elf with a number of hurled missiles, including an overflowing chamberpot.
Understandably annoyed, the elf begins slaying all within sight until he is tackled by a quartet of desperate orcs. The pudding engulfs them as the elf rolls away and the rest of the party is alarmed by the homicidal ooze. The party slays on and leaves on ly a few orcs who surrender in despair.
The elf questions them and learns little of value, save that there are other orcs who have come to this place. The orc’s fate is discussed, but in the end they are put to the sword in the name of evil reduction. The pudding begins to feed on the fallen.
Moving along at a sprint, the party swiftly leaves the ooze behind a stone door and resumes adventuring via passwall spell. They explore a large herb storage closet and emerge to encounter a purple robe clad human sitting in lotus position in the middle of an intersection. They make contact and soon are journeying with Hanso the Fist – who seeks the staff stolen from him by ba goblin.
Coincidentally, the next area explored is a goblin urinal. The pissing goblin shouts for help and battles doggedly, dishing out some wicked blows before being slain. The reinforcements meet a similar fate before too long and the group is bemusedly staring around when a large ball of lightning heaves into view. The wizard shelters the party under a hemisphere of ice and they wait it out. Eventually the flickering globe wanders away just as the spell ends.
Doubling back, they explore a set of double doors chained shut. As they rest the rust shield against the links, a large top hat and tail wearing skeleton saunters around the corner from which they came. The skeleton carries a cane and the ‘muah ha haa’ of laughter erupts from the cane periodically. A pitched battle ensues and the skeleton employs several tricks to attack the rear of the party – severely injuring the mage. Nevertheless, the skeleton is slain and Hanzo is given the laughing cane to carry in lieu of the staff he seeks.
The group spends some time in the herb room to recuperate and explores beyond the chained doors. A secret – yet frustratingly unopenable door. They pass beyond into a large dormitory that is strangely silent. The silence is due to eh fact that all the occupants are dead! Well, not all – some turn out o be floating spinal columns that lash the party members with psychic tentacles f doom.The battle is savage and the party prevails, returning to the herb room to rest for a few days up the rope of climbing. The rope space is getting crowded, since the five member group has picked up Ophelia and Hanso. They continue to look at the map retrieved from the back of the painting and wonder what lies below the monastery.
