Gimlet helps the withered Magic-user out of the bed. As soon as everyone departs, the Doppleganger strikes. Gimlet tries to defend himself but is knocked unconscious. The Doppleganger assumes his visage and rejoins the party. Tawndi asks about the old man. Gimlet says he killed him and sets about checking the statues in the pews. Tawndi and Thack Burrfoot discover Gimlet's body. Tawndi sneaks back. Thack distracts the Doppleganger. Tawdi backstabs with sword +1. They finally kill the creature, then rush back to save Gimlet. Sudarshan uses Psionics and restore just enough hit points for the dwarf to make a saving throw vs. death ray to survive. In the confusion Brother Perceval notices that his maces are gone as is his Ring of Protection +1. A quick head count shows that the two adventuring women are gone!
As Brother Perceval fumes, the party heads north. Into the cleric's quarters where a secret closet is discovered. And among the robes is a mace +1 and plate mail +1. Brother Perceval is relieved. Onward: they visit the game room, witnessing the map of the growing red glow enveloping Haven. They enter the room of eerie music and all but the cleric and Erol Otis flee at the sight if the haunting apparitions. The group flees south into a strange room filled with archer bushes which spray thorns at them. Tawndi makes for the giant white rose bush in the center of the room. The mystic gets grabbed by the bush, drained his blood and turning the petals red crimson. Tawndi hacks and after felling the plant, discovers a second silver drake statue. The day waning, the party heads back to the game room to sleep. But during the Cleric's first watch there is strange activity at the door. Erol Otis takes second watch and is visited thrice. Against reason, he steals Tawndi's sword +1 and removes the spike, padding off to investigate as the party sleeps unprotected.
