Continuing where the party last left off, GORHAM heads back toward the exit, narrowly missing an encounter with the GELATINOUS CUBE! ANNIKA returned from her meditation, torch in hand, right into the face of an escaping ATHENA who had no desire to be turned to stone like her compatriots RAGNA and FREYA. GORHAM made his way to ANNIKA and ATHENA where they decided to have one last go at the treasure room, they filled their pockets and proceeded to the exit only to run square into four ROCKTHORN RANGERS who had tracked the party down after the party had slayed their their brethren in cold blood. The rangers demanded justice in the form of a party member or treasure. ANNIKA, now playing diplomat at GORHAM insistence, parleyed a deal that they take part in the treasure cache and perhaps assist them in freeing their friends from their granite bondage. The rangers agreed, and the two groups went back into the SHRINE of SET, with the rangers unleashing a flurry of arrows in the CUBE, slaying it and dropping the now disintegrating body of the MEDUSA to the ground. The party searched the remains of the cube and found a collection of metal vials, contained withing VIALS OF STONE to FLESH which was quickly utilized on the still forms of FREYA and RAGNA. With a new found sense of hope the party explored deeper into a dungeon finding a staircase down and the mother-load of the GREEN LOTUS opiate! What will the party do now, as the lotus burns and its smoke fills the chambers!?
