Sleeping Dwarves…

The next day (or so it would seem) brings the usual prayer, study and cold gruel.
Then the group sets off with Skilver’s skeletons in the lead. Awhile down the hall brings the party to a large door with no handle. Raineer steps to the front and casts the spell of knock. (The spell fails) Thud places his ear to the door and hears a deep snoring beyond…. Just in front of the door is a faint wheel. When the knock is attempted on the door the wheel spins brighter. Orthan uses his wand of negation and the wheel spins even brighter. The door remains locked. Orthan drinks a potion of gaseous form and slips beneath the door. When the potion wears off he unbars the door and allows the group to enter.
In the room there are twelve sleeping dwarves. Their beards are enormously long indicating they have been asleep for quite awhile. One of the Dwarves is holding a bottle that contains a small amount of glowing green liquid. Skilver is tempted… Upon closer inspection the dwarves look like they have been in the room for a very long time. They have been shoved aside by others passing through the room. Piled against the walls and used as furniture. The party moves on through the room into the passage beyond.
Down a hall brings the group to another door. Peeking through the door reveals a statue that is pointing to two doors on opposite sides of the room. There is a great rumble and a lightning bolt emerges from a hole in the wall and bounces around the room striking both doors that the statue is pointing at. The doors remain unharmed. The group passes through the room to a tunnel on the other side. The group separates. While exploring a set of tunnels, Raineer is surprised and carried of by a group of trolls. Just before they kill him he is able to drink his potion of gaseous form and escape back to the party.
Others in the group travel to a room where there is a beam of light shinning down on a book in the center. Skilver sends one of his skeletons into the beam and it disappears. Seconds later crumbled bones fall to the floor below. Skilver casts dispel magic on the beam and it fails.
Back in the hallway the two druids Max and Greenleaf are attacked by trolls. Just as they attack Max casts lightning bolt to bring them down and then Greenleaf casts wall of fire to stop their regeneration.
Moving on through several doors and hallways the group comes to a room with a statue of a great spider with an alter. An elf is chained to the alter and there are signs of drow. The group decides not to tangle with the drow and moves on. Down another passage brings the party to another door. Orthan attempts to listen but his head becomes stuck to the door. The door is alive and trying to consume him. A flurry of magic missiles, sword strikes and a bit of acid kills the creature.
