Paskan informed the group he was heading back to Axeholm for any assistance he could get in the way of healing potions etc and hit his pendent.

Anor suggested kicking in the doors again and the group stood to one side as he came forward and duly kicked the doors in. Stepping into the room Anor could see a gold statue of a dragon, from its mouth water poured into a large round receptacle. A door was in the right corner and behind the statue of the dragon he could make out some fallen brickwork and rubble. To his right and behind him he could make out a pile of bones in the corner of a large alcove.

Aramil moved into the room. Anor moved into the room and was attacked from behind as 4 skeleton warriors moved from behind the dragon statue to attack.

Anor and Aramil were fighting 2 Minotaur skeletons. Karion rushed into the room as Bandur stepped in to support Anor.

Aramil cast flaming bolt at the skeletons.

A 2nd Minotaur skeleton entered the combat.

The skeleton warriors were easy to deal with as Aramil cast fire ball and blasted the room. Anor and Bandur finished off the Minotaur skeleton as Aramil and Karion dealing with the 2nd. Suddenly Anor and Bandur could not move. Try as they might they were held in place by an unseen force.

Aramil was left fighting the 2nd Minotaur skeleton himself.

In the corner of the room a figure emerged from being invisible. A fireball erupted in the room engulfing the group. The 2nd Minotaur skeleton succumbed to the blast.

Aramil was fighting for his life as the fireball had knocked him prone and caused critical damage.

Karion rushed to heal Aramil and save him from certain death as Bandur & Anor, now both free from the hold spell, rushed the Hobgoblin spell caster. He was dealt with deadly efficiency. A small rook was searched but it held nothing of value. The well in the centre of the room is fed from the head of a silver dragon. The bowl is only 6 inches deep but the water does not over flow, They can't make out where the water flows out of the bowl.

The rubble in the corner led to an opening. Some 30ft down Karion could just make out a ledge and hear the sound of water falling. Karion is lowered down by rope. Changes into owl form and discovers a cavern with 4 waterfalls and 5 floating platforms.

Karion fly's back and changes back into Elf form and briefs the group. After a lengthy discussion a plan is decided on. Karion will take the central pendent. He will change back into Owl form. Fly to the far side of the cavern, change back into Elf form and the group would use their pendents to cross the cavern. Before doing so, Bandur takes a drink from the fountain and instantly feels revived, as though he had taken a long rest. The others follow suit and fill up water skins from the bowl of magical water.

The group arrive on a platform with a steep set of stairs leading up.

At the top as soon as each group member steps on the landing they are transported to different locations within a large room. Anor is attacked by a giant scorpion but manages to elude it and runs into a large central area. Bandur is attacked by a giant spider. The members of the group can hear each other shouting but it looks like the room is built like a maze!
