Beyond the door was a one hundred foot hallway that was crossed by another hallway that ran east west. We went to the intersection and took a left. We traveled another 50 feet and turned north again. The hallway ran straight for 140 feet before a passage broke off to the left. At the intersection we saw that the left branch was only forty feet long and ended at a door. I inspected the door and didn’t find any traps, and when I detected thoughts on the other side of the door I found no intelligent life. Argent opened the door and on the other side were five FEDZ (fleshing eating drow zombies) and two eerie translucent creepy drow ghost-like creatures. The FEDZs reacted first. One in the back of the room moved forward and then spit a viscous globe at Specere. Specere deftly dodged the attack as two more FEDZs rushed him and Argent. The two FEDZs both hit Argent and Specere. Specere’s hit was just a glancing blow, but Argent was hit so hard he was literally pounded into the stone floor up to his chest. Specere retaliated with his usual first attack assault severely injuring one of pounder FEDZ. I fired a fireball in the back of the room catching all the FEDZs and the two ghost-like creatures killing the FEDZ Specere damaged. The ghost-like creatures didn’t seem to be fazed by the fire. Enalo cast his “vortex of teeth” that filled the room with a bunch of flying piranhas. The ghost-like creature definitely reacted to the fish attack. Trot reached forward and grabbed Argent and was able to pull him out of the ground with his teeth. Argent, now free, wailed on the closest FEDZ hitting solidly. The ghosts moved forward and did something to the fighters. They didn’t seem affected, but Trot freaked out and began to cower. The FEDZ moved forward filling in their ranks and tried pounding Argent and Specere, even though both were hit neither were buried into the stone floor. Specere attacked, but the FEDZ avoided his attack. I chose to launch another fireball into the room again killing one of the FEDZ. Enalo’s fish spell continued damaging the FEDZ and then he cast his arc lightning damaging all the remaining FEDZs. Argent stepped into the middle of the FEDZs and used his mithril tornado attack killing all but one FEDZ. One of the ghost-like creatures moved forward attacking Specere and the other went right through the wall and attacked Enalo hitting him with its negative energy. The last FEDZ hit Argent again and Specere destroyed the wraith-like creature in front of him. I cast a magic missile at the other wraithlike ghost killing it. We found nothing of value, so we healed up and left the room.
We returned to the long hallway and continue heading north another sixty before the passage T’ed going left and right. We chose to go left. We traversed another long passage going sixty feet west, fifty feet north, and then ten feet east before stopping at a door. I didn’t find any traps on the door or thought on the other side of the door. Argent opened the door and there stood three huge zombie ogres. Argent, Specere and Enalo (rhino) all ran into the room attacking the ogres, Enalo and Argent attacked the same one. Trot tried grabbling one, but the ogre proved to be two big and elusive for the crocodile. I targeted the wounded ogre zombie with a scorching ray. The zombies were not pleased. They attacked Enalo, Trot and Specere hitting the first two. Argent, Specere and Rhino Enalo attacked again killing two of the zombies, but the third still remained undamaged. Trot again tried to grapple the ogre, and again it proved to be too big for the croc to take down. I fired another scorching ray at the ogre as it attacked Specere. I hit, it missed and that was all Argent needed to deliver the fatal blow. The ogres each had a sack of money, one also contained a ring and another had a scroll.
We backtracked to the T and went the one way we hadn’t gone yet, right. The passage was only forty feet long when he encountered a door, I looked for traps and detected thoughts, I found neither. The door had a sign written in ancient drow. I told everyone it read “Death Mother”. Argent opened the door and holy crap we found an enormous temple. The temple must have been 100 feet across and at least 150 feet long. The temple was filled with rows and rows of pews and a huge alter about hundred feet away from us. In front of the altar stood six FEDZ and what I could only guess was a lich. Argent ran into the room followed by Trot and Enalo. Enalo stopped and arc lightninged the row of FEDZs killing three. I moved into the room and launched a fireball at the remaining FEDZ and the lich. The lich looked unaffected, but the last three FEDZs dropped. Specere moved in the room running past Enalo. The lich took one look at Argent and cast disintegration. Argent survived, but he was several wounded. The spell didn’t even slow Argent down as he kept running right at the lich. Enalo moved closer and cast his blinding spittle spell, but the lich was completely unaffected. Trot also moved scuttled closer. I tried casting magic missile, but the spell fizzled as it got near the lich. Specere continued his running towards the lich. The lich’s next trick was a cone of cold hitting both Argent and Specere. Argent looking worse than he did, charged the doomed lich, single handedly killing him with one attack. We gathered the treasure off the FEDZs and the Lich. Specere attacked and destroyed the altar. Enalo healed as many people as he could with his remaining spells. We decided this might be a good place for us to blow the whistle and rest up for the night. I pulled out the whistle and blew it. After about 10 minutes the portal appeared, but then almost immediately closed. We discussed it and decided that it might be the room that was blocking the whistles ability and that we should go and try it in another room. We grabbed our stuff and headed for the dead ogre zombies room. We headed out the door and began going down the hallway when I felt an extremely sharp pain in my back. I heard a scream somewhere nearby and realized it was me. I slowly spun around and looked into the face of a male drow with a bloody dagger in his hand. It was in the moment I realized I had just been assassinated as the world around me went dark.
