Including monsters encountered and treasure collected.
The party attempted to creep past a carrion crawler but were asked for help by a skull claiming to be Sir Gallant; the crawler was magically put to sleep and slain (75 xp) and the skull, along with a collection of coins and treasure (450 gp) and a holy symbol (unidentified) recovered.
On their way out, they fought and killed another carcass crawler (75 xp).
The skull was left in a sack tied to a horse, and the party was attacked by five giant rats when they returned into the cavern—the rats were killed (25 xp).
Maverick got caught in a web within the next room—he lit the web on fire, it combusted dealing both him and a hiding giant spider damage, then the spider was defeated (50 xp).
Speaking to the undead treant through a hole in the while, it was convinced of the party’s mortality (650 xp) and gave them some helpful information concerning the location of the necromancer (northmost chamber), prisoners (a chamber far to the northeast), and the pixie they were looking for (chamber almost directly to the east).
Backtracking to the pixie’s home, they found it ransacked, and they found a pot of gold under the carpet, wisely leaving it behind.
They found that a southeaster passage was potentially trapped, so they traveled north, where they encountered and defeated five more giant rats (25 xp) and a zombie attacking from the rear (20 xp).
In the next chamber were the rats were, they found mounds of chewed food and four ancient copper bowls (400 gp).
Peaking into the next room, the party saw the living dead—partying!
