Kali climbed down the ladder and was attacked by 4 dudes. They all somehow
missed her.

She got down then Verica, then Arsalian, then Alsufr enter the room.

The party is able to slowly kill 2 but Kali is severely injured but Verica
gives Kali some healing and the remaining 2 run out through what look to
be a secret door.

Torcan and the rest come down the ladder. Torcan does spot what looks to
be good loot on the dead bodies and a chest under the bed in the room.

Arsalian and Aldi stand guard next to the second secret door connecting
the room with the ladder to the room the 2 svart alfar fled into.

Arsalian informs everyone he's gonna have Aldi open the door and he's gonna
toss a lightning bolt. Everyone tenses up thinking of the last time he did
this.

Aldi opens the door and casts the lightning bolt. It happens to travel
through/past 2 alfar and the door way leading out of the room and into
the hallway beyond. Arsalian kills a couple in the room and one standing
in the hallway beyond the room. Their might be others.

For of the surviving alfar throw hand axes at Aldi and Ars. Two of them
missing Ars and 2 hit Aldi.

Arsalian casts his final ligthning bolt and kills almost everyone in the
room. The surviving alfar run away.

The looting begins.

In the room with the ladder:
6 copper arm bands on 2 dead svart alfar and 16gp.

In the chest under the bed is:

1,322gp
251 pp
3 gold armbands
2 silver armbands

In the next room with 6 dead alvar

17 copper ambands
27 gp

On dude in platemail (ruined by lightning bolt)
shield ( in good shape for getting hit be lightning )
battleaxe ( in good shape for getting hit be lightning )
broach
mithril armband
2 gold armbands
2 silver armbands
necklace

The party moves the dead alfar into the room with the ladder
and camp out in the "lightning" room that happens to have 5 beds.

The session is paused here.

Decide to jam a dagger in the door to the "north" and set the
watches and get some rest.

During the first hour of Verg/Aldi watch a ghostly viking
figure appears. It beckons them to towards the door.

Just as the rest of the group awakens it disappears.

About 20 minutes later, about when the rest of the part
falls asleep, a loud banging on the door starts.

The group is awakened. Torcan positions himself to be
behind the door when it opens in the room, in the hope
of getting a backstab attempt.

The door is opened.

Aldi shoots an arrow into the haug bui standing there.

Arsalian and Verica try to turn it but fail.

Emmett attacks and misses it.

The haug bui attacks Aldi but misses.

Torcan is able to backstab and kill it.

The body is looted and 1 silver armband is taken.

During the start of Asulfr/Emmett's shift they hear
shuffling of feet near the door. They do nothing.

Then the sound like they running away.

Shortly after that there is a bang on the door bursts open. Two
haug bui are standing in the doorway with a third behind those.

They pair rush up to Emmett and Asulfr but miss their attacks. The
third runs to Kali but isn't able to attack.

One hits Emmett. Asulfr is able to hit the one attacking him.

Torcan starts a Prayer.

Meanwhile the rest of the party wake up and get into combat.

Emmett, Asulfr, and Kali all get hit in the meantime.

Eventually the party gets rid of the trio, but they also notice
that non-magical weapons are effective against them.

From them 6 silver armbands are taken.

During Arsalion and Conan's watch nothing happens in the first hour, but
during the second there is more banging on the door.

Conan says, "Come back later"

This is replied with Old Norse but neither is able to recognize anything
beyond some words Aldi and Verg have used but do not know the meaning of.

Everyone is awakened, positions taken, and the door opened.

The intruder continues his invective but the group is able to quickly
kill him.

A serene expression comes over his face when Kali delivers the killing blow
by an arrow piercing his skill.

The body is inspected and looted. Torcan takes a throwing axe as a memento.

The ringmail, shield, and battle axe are noticed to be of fine quality. A
potion vial is found as well.

Aldi decided to grab the small shield. The rest is tossed into the general
loot pile of the party.

At the start of Kallisto, Torcan, and Verica's shift a ghostly horned helmet
appears, the eys glowing an evil red. It turns to Aldi's sleeping body.
Gazing at it intently. Aldi wakes up as if stabbed.

It is finally decided to head back up to the barrow they came down into
this place from.

They look outside to confirm it is indeed morning.

Asulfr is conscious but weak. Too weak to cast spells and can't
easily run or be effective in combat.

The session is paused here.

Aldi goes out to hunt to get something fresh to eat.

He is only able to find a rabbit, but on the way back
it steps into a herd of reindeer, surprising them.

Aldi cuts off a haunch to take back to the barrows.

Go back down the ladder into the dungeon

They revisit the 2 rooms. The dead bodies are still
there and are starting to smell.

The take the one door leading out. Three more svart alfar bodies
are found. They have the tell tale burn marks of lightning on them.

They are in a T junction. The hallway to the left is take where it
ends in a door. Emmett opens with Aldi covering.

There are 3 beds here and it is ransacked to find 20 cp, 15 sp, 28gp, 6 pp, and 3 gems

Emmett is impatient. He checks and opens the second door in the room. His impatience
continues and he follows the hallway beyond. It keeps turning to the left.

The hallway is spiraling in on itself until it ends in a door.

Once again Emmett checks and swiftly opens the door. Aldi and him are able
to surprise what is behind the door. A zombie minotaur.

Emmett toss fire on it and Aldi shoots 2 arrows.

Slowly they are able to kill the zombie minotaur

No loot is found in the room.

The party goes back down the other hallway.

Aldi and Emmett trigger a trap door and fall 20 feet.

They are helped out of the pit.

It is decided to have Torcan jump across the pit tied to
a rope. He doesn't clear the distance. He does climb out
to get to the other side.

Kallisto anchors the other side.

When Aldi gets across him and Torcan hear a door open. It sounds
like it is coming from a hallway to the north of the hallway they
are in.

A svart alfar comes around the corner, looks at the duo, grunts "huh",
then walks away from them down the hallway and exits via another door.

Everyone gets across and Kalli deftly jumps across the pit.

Aldi and Verica go down the hall and through the door. Beyond it is
a short hallway going north and south with a door at either end.

When they go Verica starts to check out the northern door when a ghostly
image of a horned helmet appears. Its eyes glowing an evil red.

Verica feels its gaze and takes damage.

Just as Verica reaches for her symbol of Raven to turn it the image fades away.

The two of them go back to the rest of the party.

The part takes the hallway that the svart alfar come out of and through the door
they find.

Verica and Aldi go through it. The door they went through is painted red on the
other side (not the side they came through). To the west is another door painted
blue and the hallway stretches to the east.

The doors start speaking. Insulting each other and the party. As the party
ask questions the doors ask them to answer a riddle before they give an answer.

One they answer incorrectly and Conan is hit with an electrical shock.

Verica asks the blue door if she can open it, "You can try" it replies.

When she does a strong gust of wind blows against her and Aldi. Aldi drops the
lantern he is holding but it only spills the oil out of it and doesn't break.

As the doors continue their berating of the non-doors the group heads east to a door.

Behind it is a viking longship.

It looks virtually identical to the open they had burnt.

The group checks around the room. Torcan reminds Conan to not fireball the place.

Aldi and Verg climb aboard. Aldi notes the vague footprints on the deck of ship.
He can't make out what might have created them. They do lead to the stern of the boat
and gather around the tiller.

Verg walks up to the tiller. He feels a surge of thaumaturgic force but it fades. He
asks Aldi to grab the tiller but he feels nothing. Verg grabs it again but also feels nothing.

There 2 more doors in the room. One in the northern wall and one in the eastern wall.

The party tries the northern door but find nothing but a short, dead end hallway.

Most of the party goes in to check for secret doors.

During this time a northern type troll enters the room. It looks about and walks up to
Verg and slaps him kinda hard.

Verg tries to return the favor with a Slow spell but the troll shrugs it off. Verg
then runs to cower in a corner. The troll is not able to hit the retreating cryomancer.

Kallisto gives it some arrows for its troubles. Torcan starts Praying

The troll charges up to Kallisto and gets a weak critical hit on her.

The party is able to take it down quickly after that.
