Adventure synopsis: The session began with the party still in the Monastery. Adventuring down the hall the group went into a study. Samuel snuck in and encountered two wolf-mothers sleeping with their litters of tiny closed eyes pups. After hushed discussion the group let them be for the time being and advanced, turning left down the hallway's L shape. The group came to the shrine and there battled octopus like Darkmantles, something Maraka the dwarven fighter was familiar with from stories of her people's deeper mines in the Five Kings Mountains. The group cleared those, and made note of valuable darkwood church pews. Moving on in the monastery the band of friends found some chambers with abandoned loot, mummified remains and a soiled hat. After James cleared a net trap of stones and 2 anvils, and suddenly there was an unplanned battle with a very game two-blade bearing kobold rogue defending his quarters, who was dispatched by the clerc's greatsword. This was to Royy's dismay. The Eagle Knight ranger was irked that the kobold was slain outright - but being a priest of Gorum the god of battle, Eddin saw no issue with it. The party was otherwise split on the issue. Silowil carefully searched a moldy covered library exposed to the elements and found a valuable dwarven tome bound in chain mail fitting. Other chambers produced loot such as a sliver hammer stamped with a religious symbol. This monastery was beginning to show its dark history. Once built to honor the dwarven deity Torag, at some point the place turned in on itself and all but one of its members began to worship Droskar, Lord of the Dark Furnace.
The team circled around to the largest room in the entire site, and there awoke the lord of the monastery, a massive canine Cilos identified as a Worg. Marcus and Eddin entered first. The worg showed strength but negotiated with the party in turn giving his she-wolves enough time to escape with the litters of wolf pups. The last glimpse of the worg was as it ran down a long hallway towards the dark green of the forest, it looked back with its reflective black eyes, a cold hard stare as it and its clan retreated. The team searched the large chamber and found the rest of the mushrooms needed as well as a secret door that lead down to a single room basement, a basic place that wasn't searched. After collecting the needed fungus wise steps were taken to make sure the Ironbloom caps would grow again in time, as this place is full of metal especially buried bits of iron. The group then left the monastery and made way back to the hut of the forest witch Ulizmina. The band of friends was very cautious, and camped into the night at the edge of the leaning trees waiting to see if the dark sorceress would return or if lights would illum the hut. Neither happened and so the group entered her abode. Walking in the everyone wandered a bit, searching, when the witch's great cauldron came to life and attacked!! <cliffhanger ending>
