Our party attempted to rest up in an empty cave, hoping that it would prove a defensible and secure space. Since many of us needed to memorize spells, and we all needed rest, we split into groups of two to take two-hour watches.
On the first watch, Gnorcia and Calbach heard squeaking sounds coming from out in the corridor. Gnorcia snuck quietly out to investigate and discovered six giant rodents. You might even say their size seemed unusual! Gnorcia cast phantasmal force appearing as a snake and quickly dispatched one rat. Between Gnorcia and Calbach, all of the rodents were competently killed without the need to wake the others.
The next watch was Lhoss and Armaziti. Not long after Gnorcia and Calbach had fallen asleep, Lhoss heard moans coming from outside the cave. She peeked out to discover the source and saw disgusting, fleshy creatures slowly creeping toward the cave. She cast her sleep spell at the six monstrous forms, but it had no effect! Lhoss was savagely attacked and knocked unconscious, bleeding out. Armaziti woke Ramne who began to wake the rest of the party. It was clear that we needed all hands on deck to deal with these devils. A fierce battle ensued. Gnorcia again cast phantasmal force, this time in the form of a second Calbach. The party saw little success against the foes. Armaziti healed himself... a little. Fearing the party may be annihilated, Ramne cast magic missile and slayed the awful enemies. Lhoss was stabilized but needed rest. Examining the slain creatures, Calbach and Ramne agreed that these might have been zombies.
The night continued. On Gnorcia and Calbach's second watch: troglodytes! It's possible that they were alerted to our presence from the magic missiles. We just can't seem to catch a break (or our breath)! Luckily Ramne was able to cast a sleep spell and 3 of the 4 troglodytes were then killed. The last one sprinted away and Chiki chased after it. He wasn't able to catch it and retreated back to the cave. The numerous corpses of the slain were piled up at the entrance of the cave in hopes that they might offer a barrier against further attacks. Fortunately, rest of the night passed without further peril.
