After some recuperation at the fort, and an errand to get provisions, I returned to see a motley gang lined up at the gate, apparently our warrior had called out for some knaves to order around and give him some sense of command, perhaps a rival to my army of chaos.
We ventured back to the halls, but not before encountering a one-eye giant making large furrows in the earth, it seemed harmless so we let it go about its tasks.
Intrigued by the three ring symbols, I entered the room when a shining light created an apparition before me, gesturing to engage in a friendly game of chess, I wagered a simple magical necklace and easily won and in return was gifted a key.
The key did indeed open the mysterious door in the harpy cavern below, revealing a carved library and a figurine, the dwarf tried to nab it (as is their way) but it refused to budge, until I tried and an arcane spirit wafted around bestowing the knowledge of a spell.
The next task was to defeat the spiders that our green friends had warned against, but we were waylaid by a flock of blood sucking birds that feasted on one of my entourage, luckily she survived albeit weakened of fluid and received blessed healing,
The dwarven tactic of firebombing cleared the way of spiders only giving a suit of leather armour emblazoned with dragon motif. Finally we were left with the noisome fungi, one bushel succumbed to the fire bombs and the others to our barrage of arrows.
We returned to the rat people to inform them of our endeavours to clear the halls, they were grateful and we returned to the fort with not much to be worthy of.
