Emrys W. - Kingslayer (Human Fighter 1)
Peter P. - Lars Hetland (Human Magic-User 1)
Phil - Ur Magnus (dead) (Half-Elf Ranger 1)
The party sets off to deal with a band of Goblins that have used a recent sinkhole-turned-ravine into an ambush camp to raid merchants. They travel south-then-west, find this so-called Goblin's Gully. Ur Magnus (dead) searches and finds two goblins in hollowed tree, and spies a bridge about 240ft down the ravine.
The party fights the goblins, Kingslayer is shot by a crossbow that unfortunately downs him, but Bert is quick to cure him. After the fight where one goblin escapes, they all traverse down into their lair by two flights, find an Suspicious Iron and Rose Key, and encounter a giant statue of a demon with flames in its internals. Jibu confirms that it is not a true demon or an illusion. Na'Tarr converses with it, and it says that it is a god and must be appeased with weapons and treasure. Other members of the party scout around and find out its twelve goblins speaking into a pipe, while using a bellows and oil to produce the fire.
Angering the goblins, they unleash a firestorm upon the party, but the adventurers are ready for it, ducking behind the archway. They ensue to battle these creatures, with Lars Hetland utilizing the Doomsday Staff to decimate them. They subdue and capture one named Gricks the Groveller, and he tells them of a trap on the rope bridge, as well as a secret door leading to his boss' lair.
Continuing ahead, the party reconfirms Gricks' trapped bridge and cross. On the other side of the bridge, Ur calls Na'Tarr to check the far wall for the secret door Gricks mentioned, but as Na'Tarr is crossing the room a chute opens above him, dumping oil all over, exploding him and his torch into flame.
The party is ready to be done with Gricks, but he convinces them he knew nothing of this trap, as he is too lowly to be entrusted with the boss' secrets. They proceed through the secret door and enter into a very old armory containing a crystal statue of an elf holding a crystal sword & shield. Investigating material in the room, the statue warns them (in Elvish) to cease their intrusion. Ur wonders if Jibu can touch the statue since he is a full elf, whereupon the statue begins to attack.
The party backs out of the room after skirmishing with the crystal figure, and the Doomsday Staff is used again to explode it. Left behind is a magical crystal sword. Continuing up they witness the boss and four goblins in a treasure hall. They secure a tripwire, douse the floor in oil, and then use Gricks to lure the guards out.
The guards fall face forward and the party ignites them with the oil. The boss casts Shield upon himself, but the party quickly dispatches him. Taking his haul home.
