Episode 3

The day began testing new items. The Book of Infinite spells bound itself to the cleric, causingsome damage in process. The Lyre or Building stummed a lovelly chord when struck by the ranger, and the ground shook a little. The rug of smothering smothered the human, and had to be destroyed to get him out.

Continuing onward and upward towards NW, spy down in valley a tarder and son heading in opposite direct. A trade is made of the 9 gems gained from the lizard man for 5 magical items. a couple of nice sets of armour, a +4 bastard sword, a potion, and a helmet. The cleric promptly grabbed the helmet and put it on (it was a helm of opposite alignment!) The LE god hijacking his soul..The human fighter claimed the sword, the orc and thief the armour.

The continued on, around 1330hrs they stopped for lunch, and a wrought iron gate was seen hidden behind some ivy, the gate was pushed down by the thief. The graveyward beyond soon erupted in skeletons, zombies and ghouls. Though they proved easy prey the archers snapped his bow, and the ranger managed to get scratched by a ghoul (hope it doesn't become infected)

A general look around the graveyard found no loot, but a trapdoor entrance leading down into 1 60' by 40' by 20' deep chamber, a mausoleum, two doors leading off east, and somothing big slithering in the dark Torches were thrown down (cross off 5 torches) and arrows shot at the massive black termite-like worm, oozing black slime. The shots just bounced. I shot black ichor and sucked the thief within its body, the half-orc leapt onto its head, the cleric having tried and fell. The cleric released one of the spells from the Book of Infinite Spells and a giant spider joined the attack (though later splattered against the wall by the worms tale). The human having lost his weapon in his first attack (having being become glued in the worms spit) attached a rope to allow descent. The ranger and archer stood firing from the trapdoor as the human fighter slid down the rope to join the attack. After the difficult battele, a small amount of treasure was found, and it was decided that before trying the doors that a returnto school was needed.

Everyone went up a level, and took auxillary courses in exchange for the huge Garnet found in episode 1

The group have now been together 59 days (after school and returning to dungeon) (NB:1st level school=1 week, 2nd level took 2weeks, 3rd level took 3 weeks, 4th level took 4 weeks. (ignore fact hazy's 3rd took only 1 week, my mistake). This does mean that everyone has to hang around for the thief for a week after they've done their course. Buts theres a bar.
