* From Phent the mok Horc and the Cleric Etrik miraculously managed to track the party down.  Finding evidence of their disappearence into a canyon, they rapped on the stone barrier to find that it opened... to Polkarth and Mariah, who were waiting inside.

* Horc and Etrik joined the group.

* Another series of rooms were explored, revealing more hay and debris (probable dwelling spaces).

* Yet another group of fiendish rats assalted the party as they were wandering through the dusty halls of this strange dungeon.

* Larissa seemed to be feeling better.  Etrik detremined that she had contracted Filth Fever, a disease normally acquired by coming into contact with spoiled meat, putrid animal waste, or overfoul corpses.  Symptoms are mild shakes and mild nausea.

* Once again taking the lead, Saevio went no further than thirty feet, into a single room, before being siezed by a darkmantle from above and choked nearly to death.  A second darkmantle joined the hunt, also using its darkness ability.

* A fight in pitch black conditions ensued, resulting in one darkmantle being bladed to death, and another being cuncussed against the wall by thHalf-Orc monk, Horc.

* Saevio threw a corpse at Horc for fun (after Etrik healed him, as he had fallen injured in the fight).  Horc kicked him n the groin, returning Saevio to twenty more minutes of pitch black unconciousness.

* Moving deeper into the chambers of this place, the grop came upon a large squad of War Kobolds who nearly got the better of them. 

* Etrik initiated the ambush by summoning a skeleton into the doorway of their stone fortification, which they promplyt slew.  They webbed and ball of flamed the party, forcing a retreat after everyone was ripped free.

* The group returned to engage in a blody fracas involving  six kobold warriors, a krenshar, and the Kobold Wizard who led them.  Things went poorly for the group until the turning point, when Sery cleanly decapitated the intimidating krenshar with a single hack.

* After this vicious battle, the group returned to the entrance to lick their wounds, and prepare for one last foray into the stony depths.

* Ended Ches 10, middle of day.
