B5 - Horror on the Hill - pt4 - Session 33

Meneleus gets the lantern lit but the group retreats leaving the two mysterious doors in the Ogre cave unexplored. Outside they make their way toward the rope, but pause to enter the second cave. Inside they find pools of water along the floor. And the passage continually shrinks to almost nothing. Suddenly a swarm of glowing red insects swarms Meneleus. He takes damage before shedding his back page and diving into a pool of nearby water. The dwarf and the Elf run off in the dark for the exit. The swarm turns its attention on the Cleric. Elwin dives in the water. The cleric takes damage trying to make his way out. The Magic-Users sneak past. Elwin makes it out. The Cleric finds water, turning the swarm once more on Meneleus, who falls lifeless in the exit. The elf drags him out and they try to save him. The cleric finally remembers his cure light wounds spell and Meneleus is saved. They climb the rope and get attacked by goblins as the sun sets. They camp the night. And at daybreak return to the cottage. They return the head and the sisters propose their last deal. The party accepts. Off they go, getting attacked near a large strange tree. Finally yet another cliff wall with a cave below. Elwin tries to climb down but falls, missing all rolls to catch himself and a saving throw against death. The group scuttles down, using a potion of healing and 2 cure light wounds spells on their fallen friend, but it is useless: Elwin is dead.

After much discussion, the group remembers their rope and ties off to a nearby tree to descend to the caves below. They scuttle down safely and enter the far cave. From within, the sounds of crashes get their attention and after trying to bust through the door, it opens from within and they are face to face with 2 juvenile ogres.

An ogre appears and smashes Elwin's arm. The dwarf attacks with his ax and Meneleus throws one throwing dagger +2. The injured ogre runs away. The party tries to follow but can't keep up. The cleric distributed the rest of Rocco's potion, healing the injured but causing them a strange drunkenness. Unable to move before nightfall, the group lies down in the middle of the trail.

Many a blow are landed before Meneleus casts Light and the wolf is finished. Daybreak finds breakfast rations cooked and off they go. The trail comes to a clearing with a small white cottage.
