1. The group decided that rather than engaging with these 4 undead knights, it was thought better to explore the rest of the second floor before trying something so frought with peril.
2. Came to a room with the sound of dripping water beyond. It led to a room with water dripping from the ceiling and forming a dark poolm which in turn was slowly dripping into a hole inj the floor. Stone shelves adoned the walls about the room. Investigating the hole carefully, it could be seen to lead down into a dining room area of some sort.
3. They came to another red velvet curtained alcove and it held no strange mysteries.
4. The next room they investigated had 2 beds with a rug in between and a sooty fireplace with a hissing sound coming from it. A black dragon wyrmling came charging out of the fireplace, past everyone and up the stairs to the third floor.
5. Uphir tried communicating with it in draconic, but it did not stop. Knowing that the stairs led up close to the area with the dead knights who kicked our butts, we did not follow.
6. While searching the halls we tripped a trap which caused a stone wall to spring up in front of us, cutting Nim off from the rest of us, as he was scouting. He was attacked by many many hallway apparitions and was desperately trying to find an escape route.
7. Janlynn dispelled the stone wall and the rest of the group were able to enter the hallway and aid him in the fight.
8. Uphir took the brunt of damage not only from battling the melee opponants. but also took a ton of damage from those who were shooting ghostly arrows. Janlynn cast a mighty health transfer spell and greatly healed Uphir by giving her some of her own life force. Janlynn sagged against the wall in exhaustion and pain.
9. Janlynn and Finn cast spells from around the corner while the rest battle the aparitions in the hallway.
Janlynn using sacred flames and Finn cast faerie fire and then fey blasts.
10. This was a long fight that consumed alot of our resources and healing, but it was won without anyone seriously injured. They took a short rest to gather strength and then got back to it.
11. They checked the other tower at the end of the hall and found a small hidden coffer with 4 potions of invulnerability.
12. Our way was soon once again blocked by a magical stone wall and we had no more dispell's. We began breaking through one of the windoiws in the tower and soon Tetsuo was clambering to the roof. He saw a Dark Rider up there who reared up to charge and attack. He quickly rushed back and into the tower once againl. The rider did not follow.
13. Nim did something and the stone wall came down so that we could explore more.........
