Our doughty heroes are rest­ing with the car­a­van atop the ruined upper works of the dun­geon, gird­ing for one final dive into the darkness.

They have dis­cov­ered a tele­por­ta­tion tile lead­ing to a room with a huge switch, which Mil­ton straight­away pulled and drained one of huge cis­terns in the north sec­tion of the dungeon.

Our heroes tried to explore far­ther south in the under­ground edi­fice, but were turned back by three inpen­e­tra­ble fire bee­tles. Let’s hope there’s noth­ing impor­tant through that door…

And, most sig­nif­i­cantly, Mil­ton dis­cov­ered another tele­por­ta­tion tile that leads to a gian room filled with books, a mas­sive desk…and hob­gob­lins whose sta­sis is bro­ken when some­one tele­ports in.

The party wisely fell back to count what trea­sure they were able to haul out and bind thier wounds. But per­haps more nox­ious than the fire bee­tles and hob­gob­lins below is Therion’s steady and profanity-laden reminders that he’s pay­ing them to do a job — explore that dungeon!
