Day 50

Party has camped in the woods east of the caves.

We search for healing herbs and small game. We find some black squirrels but don't catch any; no herbs are found. Breanna travels to the caves from the keep and makes it safely. We eat lunch rations and head to "cave 7". We make it there about 1:15 PM.

We go to the far end of the cave and then take a right and go down the stairs. We continue north and see a passage that goes to the NW. Belzedar unlocks the door after two attempts. Bobo opens the large oak door. We discover a store of goods. Bobo chugs 2 flasks of high quality ale. He begins to sing and dance uncontrollably.

Belzedar finds a magical sword. As he unsheathes the sword, he is uncontrollably drawn to this weapon. This is now his favored weapon even over the missile weapons. The sword gives off a 30 foot light equal to torch light, but it is a bluish light.

We head back down the cave to the east where we encountered the gnolls earlier. We go to a large room at the end of the tunnel. We had been there before, but we wanted to go back and check for secret doors. Bobo's drunkenness starts to wear off (due to his high Ogrish constitution no doubt).

We find no passages. We loot the room in the NW and take the fine ale. Bobo somehow manages to cover it with a bag, so that he is not tempted to drink it. We take some dwarven chain mail and head to the keep.

We receive some grave news from Groucho, the head guard: the Silver Palace is having troubles and there are forces of chaos that have been spotted to the south of the keep. We sell the fine ale to Trevor, the innkeeper, and then eat dinner.

Day 51

At 8:00 AM, meet in the inn's common room. We head to the caves and on the way, discover caves "8 and 9". "Cave 6" is the orc cave; we take the head of the gnoll leader from "cave 7". Bobo yells into the cave HELLLOOOOO!!! Orcs come from all sides; we request to speak to their leader. We give the orcs the gnoll head and they shoo us awa and shoot at us with arrows. Bobo is hit once and Belzedar is hit twice - we make it to "cave 8". As we enter the cave, we feel dizzy and nauseous.

We go into the cave anyway and find a minotaur. After we defeat it, we stop feeling dizzy and sick. Cassius is unconscious. We rest for 4 hours and he recovers. We find a hidden chamber in the minotaur's quarters. It has a trapped chest and we manage to get it open. We find magic vials and chests full of treasure!

We run into 2 insect creatures that glow red (fire beetles). Bobo does a sweep attack and kills them both stone dead! We continue on and run into 3 more fire beetles.

We awake to the sound of squeaking. It dies down and then picks back up the further we get into the cave. We encounter some mosquito fly type creatures. They take down Bobo! and Fredrerick. Three of the mosquitoes escape and fly out the entrance of the cave, leading us out of the cave maze.
