The team rested at Fyodorll’s and met and hired a cleric named Kalana to accompany them. They then headed toward the goblin lair. After a day of travel, the team found a rough door and a crude painting of a red blade. Old tracks showed lots of traffic had been in and out of here in recent weeks but not in the last few days.
The group opened the door and moved into the cave. Within, they were attacked by a flock of stirges! The vicious creatures lodged their proboscises into the team and began draining blood. The group fought valiantly and were able to eliminate the menaces without too much injury to themselves.
After the stirges were slain, the team examined two doors and decided to head to the south. They went down a hallway and found some kind of shrine decorated with red blades painted on the walls. From behind they heard skittering, and a hoard of giants rats came rushing down the halls! The team began to fall back, and Darados took out his flask of oil and doused many of the rats around him and the floor. Unfortunately, the rats got around him, and he was cut off from the rest of the party. He was standing in a pool of oil and shouted for Goorin to throw the torch and save themselves. Goorin was reluctant to throw it, so JoJo snatched it out of his hand and hurled it!
JoJo’s aim was terrible, and the party’s only lit torch careened down the hallway way off the mark and slammed into the end wall. It broke apart and fell sputtering to the floor and went out! Plunged into the darkness, the team was paralyzed with indecision. Darados could still see, but he was surrounded and started trying to fight his way out. Kalana was able to take out her tinder box and ignite a torch. With sight restored, the group was able to engage and drive off the rats and save Darados!
