Session 11...who needs friends.

After a restful night in the ancient barracks the team press on with exploring this cave and decimating everything that gets in their way.

Exiting the barracks they find a series of small tunnels that appear to be abandoned mining shafts and eventually enter a much larger cavern containing two higher ledges looking down over a series of tables making up what appeared to be some kind of miners common room. 

They are quickly greeted by a couple of ghouls who ask in ghoulish how many will be joining for dinner, and then attempt to eat the party, after making short work of those two Jamorin charges ahead down the stairs with Selmak to discover a great many more Ghouls,. Selmak and Jamorin are chewed on a couple of times but are able to escape after taking a couple down, Selmak manages to cut one head off in a grizzly V and decides thats going straight to the bag of holding.  While retreating Barlumin takes a shot with his bow but pulls a muscle in his shoulder making the shot go wildly off target. Snowball is able to heal him enough to get back in the fight.

After the tough guys run back up the stairs, Snowball and Pallas show some exceptional team work and cast shatter, followed by fireball to take down 7 ghouls in about 12 seconds. 

After finding nothing of interest in the common room they press on and find another large cavern, this one contains a cold forge, water wheel a bunch of zombies and a glowing green flaming skull. Inspecting the skull from a distance but with some intensity Pallas sees glimpses of the skulls body and notes its wearing mage robes. The party sends Jamorin around to the other entrance to the room with a suggestion of back up then promptly forget he went alone. 

Engaging from the west the party starts taking zombies down one by one, flameskull casts a magic missile at Barlumin after some mocking caused him to direct his aggression that way. 

The party slashes their way through the zombies, and take down flameskull leaving Jamorin to take down two zombies ALONE...he manages one and does a significant amount of hacking away at the second for Snowball to take him down with some very harsh words from the other side of the room. 

After clearing the room the party notice a door and decide to open it. Selmak tries, and fails, Snowball tries to open the door but misses the door completely. Jamorin steps up and slams the door open, as they enter the room, chaos ensues, there are several bug bears in the room waiting to take the party down. 

Selmak dissects one of the bug bears, then attacks another but almost falls over, Gnarvick takes a swing and also almost loses his footing.  Jamorin takes one down and Barlumin Aims an arrow but breaks a bowstring, rending his bow useless. 

Snowball decides to play with fire and firebots the last remaining bug bear who at this point is finding this hilarious, and misses epically, hitting Jamorin in the back with the blast of fire. 

After a series of epic failures the team manage (somehow) to take them all down.

Dragging the bodies out of the room restoring the barricade and breaking out some rest time to recover from their embarrassing performance.....
