The heroes leave the crypt to find a kitchen that was converted into a shrine to Belcorra
They then entered the servants’ rooms:
Found 4 Morlock scavengers
Defeated 3 of them before one of them fled towards…
.. the old office to get help from 2 more ‘full sized’ Morlocks. The party kills them all:
The find a fancy gear in a broken clockwork assistant which Gilgalad is able to remove without breaking. Worth 40gp
There’s two exists from the old office, the group takes the more northern of the two which leads into a hallway with junk, wood and gears on either side
There are four spike traps in this room
Gilgalad normally checks for traps in every room but forgot this time and sets one of them off
He successfully disarms the other 3 traps before continuing
They enter the throne room of the Morlock leader, Graulgust. He recognizes the party for being capable and offers them a chance to appease the ‘Ghost Queen’ by defeating the ‘water monster’ that is preventing them from foraging. The party agrees.
They head down a natural cave that leads out of the throne room which exits into a disheveled dock next to a small, swampy underground lake.
There are stairs leading east so the party checks that out first
They find a room octagonal room with silvery runes on the walls that looks like it does something… but they don’t (can’t) know what it is yet
Further along they find a raided pantry and another stairwell leading down to level 3.
They return to the lake and throw stuff into the water to get the water drake to attack them… which it does
They kill the water drake
In a chest they find
Axe of Retribution
Wand of Magic Missiles (1st)
Wayfinder
They return to Graulgust with the drakes head and he is visibly surprised. He leads them on a tour of his domain after naming them ‘ Lackeys of the Ghost Queen’
At the end of the tour he gives them another ultimatum, go kill a group of ghouls called ‘The Cult of the Canker’ on level 3 or become prisoners.
The party instead attacks Graulgust and his 2 Morlock guards
During the fight Graulgust calls for his Fleshwarped pet, Grothlut, who arrives after three rounds fighting.
It’s a hard fight with a couple people reaching 0 hp (or close to it) but the heroes succeed in ridding the dungeon of the Morlocks!
