Here, the heroes enter Barak Tor, the barrow of the Witch Lord....
The Elf made an unprecedented search for secret doors in the spiral stairway room, and the Heroes worked their way through secret doors they found. Here you can see, they're fighting a Gargoyle in a musty corridor.
The Heroes made their way through the halls to this dining room where they quickly dispatched the Zombie who held the Star of the West -- their main quest achievement.
They neaded down a hallway, looking for the Spirit Blade (as they heard in the intro that this was in fact where the Witch Lord is, and that it's the only thing that can harm him. Unfortunately, none of these doors are able to be opened to them.
"Dammit, how can we open these doors?"
Here, Barbara jumps into a room of undead, ruining their day.
While the rest of the party took care of the previous room of undead, Oankh the Wizard heads off to find this mummy. Shortly after the undead were dispatched, they still hadn't found the Spirit Blade.. Time to go back and try some other doors...
Whoops. KSteel the Dwarf opened the wrong door and woke Papa Bear...
The first thing the Witch Lord did was cast Summon Undead, and the storm was on. KSteel was able to escape the room, but left Barbara the Barbarian in the small room, and Oankh the Wizard in the other small room, completely cut off.
Barbara worked tirelessly to hold back the undead while Oankh was able to drop a mummy and sneak out.
The rest of the party took off to see if they could find another secret door while Barbara held the villians at bay until the answer could be found.
Roxie (my french bulldog) takes over KSteel the Dwarf for a round while the Heroes make their way back to the center room.
Carrie the Elf finally finds a use for "Pass through Rock" and uses it to escape... And she snuck back to the Witch Loard's crypt to search for the Spirit Blade, to no avail. The Heroes quickly made their way to the starway and left Barak Tor.
------
The Heroes enter the Ruined temple to look for the Spirit Blade.
The party got quite angry at the falling blocks which knocked a couple of them on the head. They really had to remember where the ceiling was weak, and boy, were they frusterated.
While Oankh took on the Chaos Warrior in one room, Barbara stumbled into a room with a Chaos Warrior and his skeleton minions.
The rest of the crew piled in to help out Barbara. They decimate the Chaos Warrior and his minions, then leave, not searchign the room for treasure. (Whoops)
The party continues on to go nose to nose with a handful of Orcs and Fimir, with just a dash of Chaos Warrior.

And Goblins too.
The Heroes realize their folly, and head back searching every room for treasure, and finally find the Spirit Blade. They hotfoot it out of there...
That's it for this week, since people were exhausted. Next session... The Return to Barak Tor.
