No plan survives contact with the enemy

So we returned to the treasure chest to show it who's boss.

Things were looking up

Slow-Mo-Guys show you what a sneak attack looks like when you critical.

Bug-bear never stood a chance.

Another sneak surprise attack - these guards really need to stop day dreaming and looking out over the sunny court-yard. So far so good.

So then it went wrong. These rune pillars would fire some magic blast, and drop you like a sack-o-potatoes.

Here we see Dave and Zaph lying dead. Craig and I are left wondering how to deal with these Rune pillars, of which there are like 5 with a reasonable level of cross-coverage, or how to res our fallen comrades, and not get killed in the process. The pillars are also not flimsy with around 100 HP. 

The shockwave from Craig's magic blast is so intense we can't even see Craig. But the pillar just had to sit there and take it. A few shots later, and no more pillar.

So then we ventured down a well, and found this huge Shelob like lair. Who knew Phase-spiders would phase right next to you. Lucky zaph had a big stick. Let's just say, and the end of the night, I think we're stuck in the cave, there are still beasties roaming around in the darkeness, and we've used all of our res scrolls.
