Details
Penelope tries to lift the portcullis, but fails. She asks for help from Turin. It is still firmly stuck. Arada finds a lock, but it doesn’tnlock. We decide to go check the far end of the other hallway.
An opening leads to the east, into an irregular cave with a walkway and a bridge over a chasm. There are thick webs all over the room. There are webbed shapes in the northwest corner. In the southwest corner are some large opalescent spider eggs. Lookingp we see . nothing. Jk, it is a big spider.

The large spider drops down and tries to bite Turin but misses. Turin swings back and does a good chunk of damage. He runs across the bridge which holds his weight. Martin brings in light and Arada attacks it, killing it.
We carefully cross the bridge. Penelope goes last, and the bridge breaks under her. She barely makes it to the other edge, Turin helping herp. Unfortunately the passage is collapsed with a skeleton at the pile. The skeleton’s chain mail is rusty, but the cloak seems almost new. As Eugene reaches for the cloak, the skeleton attacks.
Arada misses it, but Turin hits with an arrow. Penelope uses her combat expertise to move Eugene out of the way(Bait and Switch FTW). Eugene kills it with his last spell(Magic Missile FTW). Eugene tries the cloak on, and finds it is a cloak of protection. Probably.
We lower Arada to the ground, and she touches down after 25 feet. After much discussion, we climb down. Martin tries to check the bodies, which have been liquified. We exit through the southern passage, and Eugene torches the place on the way out, including a small swarm of spiderlings.
We take a short rest in the boss room. Arada unwedges Gurg’s door, and Martin knocks on the door to wake Gurgp. Nobody stirs, so we go in. Martin tries to wake Gurg and fails, but Arada wakes him. Gurg wants to know what is happening, and Martin convinces him that there is an evacuation and he needs to open the portcullis.
Gurg rips the portcullis off the frame, drinks the contents of the cauldron down, and goes back to go to bed. After a short distance the tunnel is collapsed, which looks fairly recent.
A voice booms: There’s nothing else here. Go back to the inn.
So we get back to the inn, mid-evening or so.
We explain to the townsfolk about the dungeons, the kobolds, and the spectre. We killed the goblins, but the kobold leader(Kirrich)and their band are still out there. Eugene shows them the goblin insignias, which are from all over, including the tribe that attacked Turin’s village. Turin knows it is rare for this many tribes to cooperate.
We also mention the pixie(Lalalna)and they are moderately mortified.
Turin is sure that with the spirit, something is going on.
