Welcome to the Jungle (from Lac)

We continued our exploration of the underground cave structure. We went back to the room that had the pool of water in it. Theodis was able to determine that the water was magical, which makes sense given the fact that the water had a slight glow. We touched it, and drank it, but no felt any noticeable effects.

We made out way down the last major passageway and ended up finding ourselves face to face with two umber hulks. We were able to defeat the two umber hulks, but not before they "confused" two of our party members. Lornax was made to walk away from the combat; he managed to walk himself into a room of rotting flesh and bones. Zant ran after him and found Lornax with burrowing worms on him. Clever us of arrows managed to get the worms out. Yuck. The paladin tried to fight me...this is why I have the ability to charm monsters, or fellow party members!

After searching the nooks and crannies of the rooms, we rested in the entry chamber and made our way out the following morning. *sigh* It all goes downhill there...

Movement in the jungle is quite the struggle. Lornax managed to cut a path for us, but we don't move that quickly. Our first night of tyring to sleep in the jungle, we were attacked by a large group of ogres. Theodis took down a few with a lightning bolt, but Zant took out a bunch with a fireball. But...he caught the jungle on fire. We ran a safe distance and waited out the night.

We continued on our way and the fire continued to burn. It wasn't until the second day after the fire that a thunderstomm came along and put it out. I don't mean to sacre anyone, but the thunderstorm seemed really nasty...

That same evening, we discovered a large beam of light that seemed to extend all the way to the clouds. From what Theodis was saying, this beam originated from somewhere near Greyhawk, and has something to do with light and water. I suppose we'll find out later what that all means.

It gets better...the next day we got captured by a large group of pirates. They mocked us by mentioning that we weren't hard to track. I suppose. Huge cut trail. Massive fire. We were asking for it. They said that we might be able to work out a deal. Then they took our weapons. This should be interesting.

The Unknown Dungeon (from Lac)

From the mysterious passageway, Aleron led the party to a room that look like something once used as a sanctuary. Utilizing a radius of silence were were able to get into the room and scope out four creatures that looked like small silver dragons. Well, they were quite the challenge. They got to me and I ran away from the combat under the influence of a fear spell. They also had the ability to appear as large dragons. Quite scary, indeed! Three were defeated when the last one flew off.

I happened to notice that the room I ran to looked like our way out. It had an opening about 50 feet up along with a cage that was lowered from the surface.

We continued our exploration and came upon a series of six rooms that housed some very strange creatures that could best be described as large red frogs. They were quite the creatures toe mess with. They had a powerful bite attack, but also had the ability to gate in extra creatures and also had the ability to stun us. They even managed to get a few of us sick through some poisoning technique. We found six prisoners that we we freed as well.

Many of us went down in that combat and it took us a few days to recover. After that, Aleron and I discovered that the entrance emptied out into a jungle. We found out from the freed prisoners that we were in the Lordship of the Isles.

Now, what to next?
