Dark Dungeon

Escaping Goblin Hill, our heroes march overland towards the Land Of Nelia, with the brooding dark clouds hovering over their destination.

On the outskirts of the Theocracy Of Berthold, we found an isolated village of death-worshipers. They paid homage to Lord Io in an aspect of the lord of the dead. Both Princess Ariel and Lord Angra Manyu found this debatable, and the party sought out the local church to investigate things.

Once there, we were met by a cleric of the order, who turned out to be an undead creature. He was destroyed after he refused to submit to Lord Angra Manyu. Hero Rod then kicked aside the altar (after a false start), and we descended into the catacombs.

Bypassing a number of harmless undead and highly dangerous magical traps, we reached a hallway guarded by infernal trolls. Hero Rod managed to take the triple flaming burst trident from the leader, and with it he killed the infernal troll captain.

During this fight, we were joined by, a Drow Elf who had been kept prisoner by the infernal trolls. None of us trusted her much, but when she was in danger of being squashed between us and the onrushing infernal troll reinforcements, we took pity on her and let her through our lines. Princess Ariel even cast shield other on her. She returned the favor by fireballing and casting Melf's acid arrow on the trolls. The fight with the trolls was decided by another spell, however, as Princess Ariel bound them with a greater command. Heroine Asra, Lord Angra Manyu and Hero Rod made short work of the trolls who did their best to play dead.

After the fight, we spoke some to, and she claimed to be an enemy of the clan of General Lixander, opposed to their conquests in the surface world. Time will tell if she is right.

The trolls guarded a door, and visions showed us that a group of cultists and a statue great demon was behind that door. Hero Rod kicked the door open and charged in to prevent the statue from animating, and this was successful once a magic circle against evil prevented the cultist's souls from being sucked into the statue.
