** TURN 17 **

Eastern tunnel:

12 - Garethianopolisian - Half Orc Ranger runs through the wooden doors at the back of the room into a cavern. Ahead are many Orckin milling about and a large slug/orc brood mother (Orczilla!).

23 - Godbran Helloburger - Halfling Thief you drink an invisibility potion. You head towards the portal, bending down to grab a few gold coins and loose gems on your way. The six orcs by the portal are swaying from side to side as they chant.
You move to enter the portal *rolls dice* one of the praying orcs bumps into you causing you to trip and hit your head on the side of the portal. You swear and rub your head now visible.
*rolls dice* With a lot of hollering the six orcs jump up, a sacrifice appearing in front of them, one grabs your foot.

11 - Fognino - Goblin Shaman you tell Cardan to stay close. You move close to the treasure then sound the alarm to the horde that intruders are on their way to kill the Brood Mother. *rolls dice* A lot of confused faces look to you before Orczilla lets out a shrill call, then the Horde roars as one and charges for the wooden doors.
You grab handfuls of gems and gold and start running for the portal. You see Godbran in trouble there.
*rolls dice* Orczilla noticing that you steal her treasure growls while squeezing two Ogres out of her rear-end. These are ordered to attack you.
*rolls dice* You cast Fog around you and Orczilla making it hard for anyone to see around themselves. You cast Summon Fire Elemental.
*rolls dice* You sense an Ogre reaching for you but hear it retract its arm as it curses, flames visible in its vicinity.

8 - Cardan - Half Orc Berserker seeing the horde move off you stuff your pouch with gems and gold, a big grin on your face. It is suddenly hard to see where you are as fog fills the cavern.
You carry on towards where you had seen the portal. *rolls dice* An Ogre steps to block you *rolls dice* so you belch fire in his face causing him to turn away clasping his scorched eyes.

46 - Gold - Goblin Ranger the horde starts roaring and charging in your direction *rolls dice* thinking on your feet you start roaring and make as if to run back the way you came.
*rolls dice* The horde runs past thinking you are one of them.
You turn back to where Orczillas head is peering around above thick fog.

17 - Tridris - Drow Necromancer laughing you cast Dispel Magic on Raybur Wolfsktaa *rolls dice* his Globe of Protection winks out of existence. You cast Enfeeble *rolls dice* but it is resisted. You cast Doom Scarabs *rolls dice*
as Raybur sees certain doom approach he stands proud and shouts "I go to my Gods side, Lich, what fate awaits you?".
The Scarabs wash over Raybur Wolfsktaa, devouring him in seconds.
With a shrug you cast Invisibility on yourself and move through the room up to an open pair of wooden doors. A horde of Orckin are running in your direction, shouting and hollering.

47 - Raybur Wolfsktaa - Dwarven Cleric is dead.

6 - Pater Alf - Half Orc Warrior you run to where the cowards fled earlier. You stop as a horde approaches not sure of what to do.
*rolls dice* You see the horde run past one of the cowards from earlier who is acting like one of them.

18 - Calad - Elf Mage you drop to the ground and search the Ogre Mage *rolls dice*, taking two rings from his finger (one drops huge boulders on people, the other charms its target).
You remember the trapdoor (well remembered I am saying through gritted teeth). Cardan is too far ahead of you to be planning on using him so instead you cast Dispel Ward on the trapdoor. *rolls dice* There was no Ward on the door.

18 - Cavalary - Calad - Elf Mage earns the achievement *I Am A Mole And I Live In A Hole*

31 - Valius - Elven Battlemage also checking the corpse of the Ogre Mage *rolls dice* you find an amulet that can cause the movement of its target to move incredibly slowly for a turn.
Throwing caution to the wind, you open the trapdoor *rolls dice* and drop down into a narrow tunnel that heads north.

18 - Cavalary - Calad - Elf Mage seeing Valius go through the trapdoor unharmed and with time not being on your side, you follow him.

62 - Thelis - Human Ranger with a sadness at the clerics death, you follow the others through the trapdoor.

44 - Franziskan - Human Cleric you cast Globe of Protection on yourself and follow the others through the trapdoor, saying a little prayer for your fellow Cleric and swearing revenge on the Lich.
Fognino, Goblin Shaman.

We are almost there. The exit is near.
"Cardan, follow me close, we rush to the exit and my senses are sharper. We are almost out! I will try to slow down anyone who hinders us, I can help in navigating the fog but I'm defenseless against those hill-sized shit-piles".

Based on who is more dangerous at the moment, Fognino casts Entangle on either the Orc Priests or the newborn Ogres.
If some extra time for casting remains he'll also cast sleep, but only if he can clearly see the targets.
In case a combo is possible (I have no idea if I can do this) I'd try to mix sleep and fog, making a nice magis sleepy mist.
Franziskan Human Cleric
Globe of Protection until the end

HAHA It was fun dropping down that trapdoor. Now let me equip my mace and my shield again. My shield? Where is my shield? OH NO! I forgot my shield upstairs when I threw it to that ugly ogre. What will I do now? That was a Louis Vuitton shield! Made from the rarest and finest fire lizard leather. Bah, I can afford to buy a new one after we get out of here. I didn't like its color anyway, it didn't match with my mace.

Calad, Valius, I saw you getting some items from the dead ogre mage. Maybe you could give something useful to Thelis, we have a lot of spells but I doubt he has a magical offensive option and there might be a need for speed in the future.

I suggest the ranger goes in front to scout for traps and we follow just behind him. But before we go on let me scout for evil invisible monsters my way hehe. I cast Divine Retaliation on me and Ball of Holy Light down the narrow tunnel. It's a dice roll but who knows what it could hit? And I start moving forward with the rest of the team
12 - Garethianopolisian - Half Orc Ranger

Runs ahead into the Orckins slashing at them with his Dwarven Waraxe.
Time if of the essence here and escape must be a priority for Valius and his fellow companions as the ominous feeling deepens. Under the guise of his Invisibility spell, Valius speaks, "That Ball of Holy Light was a good idea, cleric. It should light up this tunnel for us. And I agree it's a good idea to let the ranger ahead of us. It's a narrow tunnel we're in but hopefully a way out exists further up ahead. Perhaps the other mage is willing to give up one of the rings he found off the ogre mage to him?"

Valius quickly and quietly moves forward up the tunnel north, following the glow of Ball of Holy Light that the cleric unleashed, watching carefully for enemies that may appear and being careful not to step on any traps or suspicious-looking tiles.

Valius, Elven Battlemage
Spells cast: Meteor Strike, Detect Secrets, Ray of Stupidity, Magic Missile x2, Invisibility since turn 10
Items found: Amulet of Slowing
In this unlucky moment Godbran Helloburger the Halfling Thief remembers the wise words his granny Smileleene used to tell him: "First jump then say hop". Should have remembered that one before my usually skilled feet bumped me into a zealous Orc due to lack of concentration.

A thought of self-encouragement happens in Godbran's mind: "There may come a moment when I'll be sacrificial goat for some stupid ritual, but NOT on this day."

I grab my my new love, my precious, my blackjack and teleport into the mirror.

If it's not possible to teleport while someone holds you by the leg (which one would presume probable) the following actions are taken:
1. I take the magical knife from my free boot (the one no one is holding onto) and stab it into the hand holding my other leg to make both my feet available to go where they please once again.
2. My super awesome blackjack in hand I teleport into the portal (a very cool move by itself if I may boldly add xD) and give the Orc Priests a wave from the other side.
Damn, I missed the end turn, I guess I was going to die anyway, at least I have earned an achievement :)
I would just let other companions(and enemies) knows I did not forgot about our quest but i've been a litte busy lately, I would like to thanks anyone (and Doc in particular) for all the fun and that I will keep fond memories of this "Forum Dungeon Crawling" and I really hope it could be replicated in future.
I guess in my next Temple of Elemental Evil "run" (that won't be too soon anyway) I will have a vast array of names to name my characters after, for my half orc Barbarian and evil mage at the very least.....
17 - Tridris - Lich
Casted Death Armour at turn 15, Magic Shield/Reflect Spells/Reflect Missiles at turn 16. Invisibility at turn 17.

If there is 100% chance that I can stand somewhere and I wont be trampled by them I'm using it, if not I'm casting Levitate and again Invisibility (If it turned off) and levitate over them.

True, I have no magical items or spells, but I'll go in front the group and look for traps or anything suspicious.

I'm close behind so the globe of protection probably covers you too

Great! I'll try and stay close to you.
Studying the found rings, Calad keeps the ring dropping boulders (Any name for the spell Doc? Going with Boulder Smash now, for the time being...) and offers the one charming the target to whoever wants it. With nothing offensive bar the Wand of Acid Arrows, that ring may yet be handy, but have Charm Monster as spell too anyway. Then he casts See Invisibility and Levitate and makes haste after his companions, watching for anything revealed by the Ball of Holy Light. Even if tunnel's not tall, feel better to have feet at least a bit off the floor, while still making sure not to hit ceiling. And a simple Light might have been more handy now, but maybe something will be invisible. Or maybe we will be, so handy then as well.

Great you can take the ring from Calad
62 - Thelis - Human Ranger puts on his finger the Ring of Charm Monster received from Calad.

Thanks, Calad! This might be useful.
Me don't really know what to do. Me is alone and can't fight the horde. Can't run away either (they are too many and would get me). So me tries to act like I'm part of the horde that is protecting and caring for the Orcish Brood Mother.

If me is successful and the horde passes without getting suspicious, me slowly tries to move to the portal without disturbing or annoying anyone.
