Game Log, Session 3

Returning to the roadhouse for supplies, the characters are joined in their quest by Olland, a human sorcerer. With a pack horse borrowed from Bull, the characters travel to the temple of Soleth (LN lesser god of peaceful death and solitude). The temple is built into the side of a mountain and seems to be long abandoned.

Hacking their way through the brambles that surround the entrance, the characters gain entrance through a secret door by pouring water into the mouth of the carving of a skeleton – mimicking a rite of Soleth whereby a corpse is preserved and prevented form rising in undeath by the administration of a special draught.

Inside, the characters encounter kobolds, a trapped staircase and a well-defended barricade composed of wooden furniture and debris. They also discover strange mushrooms – one stand of mushrooms emits a noxious gas, while another radiates heat. The latter mushrooms enable fiery breath when consumed, a fact that the kobolds took advantage of in combat.

After a difficult fight at the barricade, during which the barricade catches fire, the characters retreat to a safer room to rest.
