We find ourselves in a room. To the north is a passageway obscured by fog, to the south are two double doors, to the east is the stair up and to the west is an opening into another room. Dog like creatures appear in the room, one being in front of me; “hit dog with Axe; move northwest”. I felt this strange feeling wash over me and suddenly everything seemed a little clearer. I feel like I have been kind of walking around somewhat in a daze. It was like I wasn’t completely here! Almost like someone else was playing me in some game.

I was getting ready to move in and engage the barghest when it suddenly used something like dimension door or teleport to move to back of the room and engage Trask and Rallo. At this point gravity in the room reversed and we were all heading towards the new floor, the ceiling. I cast fly on myself and was able to right myself with the true floor. I grabbed Rigal and helped her to the column near by. A quick glance over to Nolan confirmed that he would not be able to defend himself. The Barghest had drifted back down to the real floor by this time so I move and engaged the Barghest with a wild swing. I was able to dispatch this outsider just in time to see one of the hug demons teleport into the room to engage the party. It was nice of this create to move into the room near where Avia could hit it. I cast protection from evil and moved engage this beast. I noticed that my weapon was not doing as much damage as I expect, Avia on the other hand was making it hurt. I may have to figure out what divine affect she is using on these creatures.

I followed Avia into the next room with Takkad holding on so that we can keep him close and to get him out of the reverse gravity field. We engaged this daemon which backed up and offered Avia a wish in exchange for it life. Avia’s snort was the last thing this daemon would hear in this world.  A search of the room seems to indicate that scribbler had escaped this room. The room was covered with thassilonian writings, looks as though the scribbler has been busy. It is amazing how useful thassilonian has been over the years.

Off to the southeast Rallo cleared the way with elemental body. We moved into the caves with Avia and Nolan in front and I watching to make sure no one attacked from behind. Suddenly bone chilling howl broke the silence making use all feel uneasy. All of a sudden a crazy eyed Trask ran towards me. For a moment I considered grabbing him and as he ran past me I also considered following him to make sure he was safe. I thought that Nolan ran past me with the same crazed look so I figure that they would be safe together. To my surprise a few moments later Nolan rushed past me to engage these fowl hounds. When I caught up to Nolan it seemed as if Nolan and Rallo were having a hard time spotting the hounds even though there were directly in front of them. It didn’t really that it was that dark in the room, I have to admit that I only really notice that they are having trouble seeing when they take out the lamps.
