We make it to Turos Tem, sell as much as we can. Tim the turos tem tailor buys the bolts of cloth. We talk to Genelen who urges us to get back out to the temple, and helps heal our party. She also allows us to store items in the Turos Tem vault. We rest for the night.

We head out in the morning. Along the way we find a shortcut. We arrive at the temple without further incident and make camp.

Vinethelen 3, Calefadras

Balmy, Clear, A gentle wind

We enter into the temple and begin to explore a new section of the temple.

We head to a door and listen, but hear nothing. We try to open it but find it stuck.

We move to the next door and listen at it, hearing low, gruff beasts speaking inside. We search for traps and are interrupted by a trio of gnolls coming down the corridor. Aurelia looses an arrow at the gnolls while the rest of the party charges forward. As they battle the gnolls, the door Aurelia was at bursts open, and an orc grapples her. A brutal battle ensues in which Yngvi slays many orcs, and Valorian sleeps Aurelia's captor. They successfully rescue Aurelia, killing a total of 10 orcs. Uthman finds half a dozen sleeping orcs and silently slaughters them. After the dust settles, we have killed three gnolls and 16 orcs.

in the back room we find a pool of water. Uthman drinks some of the water and says he feels smarter (+1 int). Aurelia drinks and feels more confident (+1 cha)

We exit the temple and rest the night in the forest.

Vinethelen 4, Istreudras

Balmy, clear, strong winds

We reenter the temple and continue exploring the temple. We enter a smaller room and find two orcs eating. Aurelia and Yngvi kill them off quickly. Just after, a direwolf charges through a curtain from an adjacent room and viciously bites Aurelia. After a brief skirmish, Uthman slays the direwolf. Just as it falls, two orcs rush into the room, but are immediately slain by Yngvi. Again, an orc rushes into the room and is shot by Aurelia before immediately retreating back to his room. Yngvi chases after it and finds an orc king and three guards. He slays three of them in three quick sweeping blows. Titania steps up and rocks him on a dias.

140xp for dire wolf

We search all of the rooms.

In the king's library we find a hidden door that leads to the space between the kobald king's room and the orc kings room. Inside we find 3 chest. A copper, silver and gold chest painted.

We use the painted copper key to open the copper chest and find:

  • Rotted priestly vestments with golden thread. 500 GP

Back in the king's room we find a large chest with

In the dinning room we find nothing of value.

In the sleeping quarters (just outside the throne room) we find:

We continue to explore those rooms we have not yet entered. We explore a back closet and find nothing. We use an axe to break down another door and find that it had been trapped, but contains nothing of value.

We break into another room near drusis's room and find a zombie goblin which Aurelia fells immediately with a skillful shot. We head back to the spiked door and along the way notice

29xp for killing the goblin zombie

The statue in the northeast is on a hollow base. We move it and find a stash of gems

In Drusis' room we find

  • 3 barrels of fine spirits, 200gp 16st ea. 600 GP
  • 3 crates of glassware, 100gp 5st ea. 300 GP

We search for traps and listen at the spiked door before chopping down the door with an axe. Two desicated corpses lay near a spiral stair case which descends into darkness. We decide to re-spike the door and head back to our camp. We leave Titania and Valorian to guard our treasure while Uthman, Yngvi and Aurelia head to Turos Tem to get the wagon.

Along the way back Uthman insists that he is able to throw rations into the air and catch them in his mouth. He spoils 11 rations before Yngvi and Aurelia put an end to his foolishness.

We encounter eight pilgrims on their way to Siadanos but otherwise make our way to Turos Tem without incident. Genelen heals our wounds and helps us get on our way back to the temple with our wagon. We take the shortcut, and after a brief encounter with a patrol and some sparrow hawks we make it back to camp.

We make it back
