QUICK READ RECAP The adventurers recapture hit points and spells by utilizing Leomund's Tiny Hut and the clerical stone shape in an upstairs unused storage area to make their hidden rest area secret and not be able to be found by the wandering monsters in the slavers temple hide-out, pushing further into the complex up a northern hallway surprising a skittish group of orcs hidding in a room covered in holy symbols, the orcs flee, under the assumption that 'it's coming to get us', unaware of Shenjo's invisible presence being responsible for knocking down the already flimsy door, only to venture into an adjoining cemetery where vegetation entangles Kell rendering him helpless, all the while trees attack sending Shenjo unconscious, and a last ditch fireball attempt to destroy all of the encroaching trees sends Argo and his familiar cat to their doom!

Karmadel casts stone shape to make the big room appear to be a closet at the door. Argo casts Leomunds Tiny hut. Party sleeps for 8 hours and regains hit points and spells. Aaron uses his sledgehammer and on the second try, smashes an opening in the stone wall for the party to leave their hiding place. Shenjo uses his ring of invisibility to go up the northern hall. He hears talking in a northern room and sees daylight and possibly wind blowing grass and dried leaves from under the southern door. Leaxle removes his studded leather, makes his hide in shadows check but fails his move silently to check the stable. Shenjo pounds in the northern door revealing a room full of holy symbols on the walls and 6 frightened orcs nervously handling their halberds. Argo in the room over hears the orcs screaming, something along the lines of "it's coming to get us!". Argo shares this information with the rest of the group. Karmadel says "Oh shit...!" Kyra says "Oh boy, he did it again!" Shenjo casts wall of fog to fill the orc room and the outside hall. Orcs start hollering, the sound of things smashing to the floor are heard. Bjorn enters the fog and readies his halberd. Aaron enters the fog and feels his way to the western end of the hallway. A door is heard opening. The fog in the room begins to dissipate. The orcs are no longer in the room. The party can see outside. Shenjo knocks on southern door (opposite the room full of holy symbols minus the orcs) and it knocks back. Aaron forces himself through the southern door to reveal a cemetery with a dead tree blowing up against the door. He notices a piece of paper attached to the door of a mausoleum inside. He attempts to make sense of the note but says "they don't know how to spell it's all scribble junk" Bjorn goes to the holy symbol room outer door, looks outside, sees and surprises the orcs, and quickly closes the door and latches it. Bjorn declares spear hedging. Balfon enters the room with Bjorn. Karmadel moves into the ramshackle room with holy symbols and his armor protection from evil 10' turns on. Shenjo's dogs are skittish in the cemetery, he calls out to Kyra "come over here please, this place may be haunted." Balfon readies his crossbow of accuracy. Argo reads the note on the mausoleum door and it says 'don't forget the rations, chains and other supplies needed'. He tries the doors and it is unlocked. Random tree falls and misses Leaxle. Leaxle reasons with a gut feeling that it wasn't by accident. Karmadel attempts to detect evil 60' facing the cemetery but does not detect anything and shares the findings with the group. Shenjo shoots melf's acid arrow at a tree near the northern door and hits. The trees suddenly move and block the exit. Balfon shoots arrow at the middle tree for 9 hp of damage. Argo casts chromatic orb as orange for a fire effect for 8 hp of damage, starting the right most and middle tree on fire. Leaxle moves into the far corner and dons his armor. Tralaan casts melf's acid arrow at the third tree not on presently burning for 5 hp of damage. Kell attempts to attack a tree, moving to the grassy area, but fails a save vs. paralyzation and is immediately entwined in a cocoon of vegetation. All three trees attack Shenjo for 23 hp of damage knocking him unconscious. New Round Argo pours cure light wound potion down Shenjo's gullet. Balfon changes weapons to his battle ax. Potion kicks in for Shenjo giving him 2 hp of health, bringing him back to consciousness. Bjorn hears no activity coming from outside the door. Bjorn hits the middle tree blocking the door and separating the other party members for 14 hp of damage. All the trees move to block the exit. Leaxle is trapped in the corner. Karmadel's protection from evil 10' radius turns off. Karmadel casts bless to help the party with bonuses. Tralaan casts magic missile on the west tree for 11 hp of damage. Aaron hits path blocking tree for 11 hp of damage. Kell surmises that safety might be had in the mausoleum. New Round Shenjo activates his armors blur ability. Shenjo casts 3 mirror image on self. New Round Karmadel tries fear to see if the trees might be intelligent, but it fails. Argo casts fireball and kills himself and his cat familiar. Balfon lights his cigar from the burning debris. Leaxle hits a burning tree next to him for 13 hp of damage. Kell gave a cure light wounds potion to Shenjo for 5 hp of life. Shenjo regains consciousness for the second time and quickly activates his ring of invisibility!
