Session 178: 28 Feb 24, day 110

After a lot of healing and greiving the party are ready to proceed: and decide to continue to find the carpet: heading back to the one area not yet explored.. Room 194 has 2 large yellow ameboa are eating ! Ochre Jelly? Fria stands back and fireballs them, while Isondel can't resist a lightning bolt when they line up coming through the mini corridor towards us.. They fry, and bits of the ceiling fall down. Crossing to the green-door and the trapped cross roads and shallix old place. We get to the demonic, hot, foul-smelling , meat n blood smeared room 211. Where we had not previously explored because of the black tentacles. Bear-girls and Vulfette wander in and lay about the tentacles: fria breaks out the popcorn. As they gerlz smite and whomp their way through the tentacles Vulf notices something reflecting light in a side area: but illumination is low. The tentacles are cut easily, but anything dragged down the hole is taken to hell ! It is a golden skull on top of a pile of money !! It is not magical and not more evil than the ambience. It's not a human skull, it's a bit aracnid. It is a significant amount of gold. Treasure but no carpet! we decide to go ask Vraedix. Vulf searches for secret doors as we go back. We avoid the acid spray trap in 205, and it looks like the abyssal flies have returned to the room 205. Fria chain lightning's them all and scorches them all: but none fatally. They buzz in and start stinging, wounding fria slightly, and Ahmumstut lightning bolts them - woo hoo more scorchy stuff. The gerlz smeg the wounded flies and Fris scorches them.. there are 4 left. The fly in invoking a flurry of opportunistic attacks that wipes them out. We heal and restore a bit and push on through the demonic arena into the fly demons lair.. with a wooden hive like thing: upon which sits a lady we have not yet met. Perhaps the succubus' sister. We search and then push on into the demon library and greet the studying demons. They greet the party and ask the paladin not to attack. They appear to be studying to 'make something'. We get to Vraedix and Vulfette asks it where the carpet on this level is.

“Out of context transport unit #2 can be found near concealed room of evil icons, black disk can get you there”

So it's near the room with nasty icons ( small green malachite icons 213) We remember Fria still has most of the figurines ! We head back there: and having the anti-poison gas amulets we search the room full of ampules & the strange painting. Fria uses the glove and explores the inside of the empty picture frame. Finally we get to the room with the table & basket & figurines. There is a worm-eaten carpet under the table: we check that is not an illusion, it is not it's a grotty rug. The carpet is hidden near here so we look for secret doors. Vulf finds the secret door , and it needs a str16 to move the stone door. It opens to a large iron door which is closed and is magically locked. We remember there was the number 872 under the table in the next room: Vulf tries the chime of opening. The arcane lock is cancelled and the door can be opened revealing a passageway leading into another long N-S room with two chandeliers, circular platform black stone.. wall hanging of green-blue& gold thread. There is a huge toad-demon guarding it who proclaims.

“by ancient pact I shall defend the chamber from intrusion through this doorway”
