Dungeons of Thistletop

The party resumes its exploration down in to the dungeons of Thistletop. Scouting out several halls and doors, the party begins with a door that leads to a room with an open passage to the sea. A tentacled creature attacks from a hidden location, the party reacts quickly and overpowers the beast. Moving on, they take the resident wizard by surprise and quickly striking her in the face.

Moving into the temple, the party stirs the yeth hounds that dwell there. The battle does not go well for the party at first, as the temple hounds guard their ground fiercely. Slowly the party turns the tide of battle. After sacking the temple, the party continues exploring and finds the den of goblin-wives who immediately attack. A bugbear joins the fray, which makes things a bit more interesting.

Going back to the wizard's lab, the party discovers a way down, deeper into Thistletop. Moving forward cautiously, Zen discovers that the peculiar statues of men wielding glaives are part of a trap. After being separated by portcullises, badly wounded, then dropped into a pit, Zen feels a bit weary. Recovering their wounded brother, the party explores on to find a
strange room both laboratory and temple. Tsuto's lost love Nualia is there and attacks brutally, but even with her yeth hound, is no match for the party.

Further on the party discovers a crypt full of wraiths. Going on the ropes for this one, the party barely holds on as Cortez lays down some divine damage, breaking undeath's hold on those troubled souls. The party rests, but has troubling dreams during their sleep.
