After resting up again a few days, the party was ready to head back to the Caves of Chaos. The party travelled to the caves and then discussed the situation with the hobgoblins Bob and Rob. Bob and Rob indicated that there were two low level caves at the base of the canyon that attached to the hobgoblin lair. Inquiries were made about the riches of the hobgoblins, but Bob and Rob only indicated a cache of weapons that they were aware of. However, they indicated that the 2nd cave in, somewhat obscured by shrubbery, led to an ogre that had gotten rich off both the goblins and hobgoblins.
The party determined to go into this cave. After negotiating the shrubbery, a torch was thrown in and then Chester quickly used his scroll of hold person to hold the charging ogre. The spell succeeded and then Gweryn stepped forward and slew the mighty ogre with one cruel blow.
The party searched the area and found a bunch of bags, as well as some other treasures buried under some old bones. Chester was delighted to find that one of them was another scroll with hold person on it (the one used of course turning to dust). Also, a strange bottle of clear blue liquid and six arrows were found there. The sacks held a wealth of coins and some foodstuffs.
The group determined to take all the treasure back immediately, as this would be the first expedition where no one was knocked out. After going back and giving a donation to Riley, he detected magic on the items and found that the liquid and the arrows were magical. The potion was sampled and identified as a potion of invisibility, and the arrows were tested and revealed to be +1. The rest of the coinage was divided out and the foodstuffs were sold.
