This is a really bad idea

We're still in Uncle Bulgaria's lair! We went around to investigate a bit, found a room full of stone statues with bloody shortswords and decided they're probably a bad thing. There was a chasm with a broken bridge, but Elindra was nimble enough to cross it and come around the other side after we blocked off the statue room from the main room.

Murmei was placed by a door, as someone needed to be that side to open it. Valgai and Elindra went to the main room to grab the caraffe. They found a big dude with a skull and a crown that looked eerily familiar. There was an undead next to him, who woke up and wanted his sunstone back.

Fighting ensued. Elindra was mind-hijacked for a bit, Valgai was cursed, but we got the caraffe and eventually got back to Murmei. There was only one thing that could be done with the sunstone, and that was to release the fire spirit within. It was a very good fighter, it's a shame we can't do that one again, and also no more crotch-warmer.

And then the Creeping Darkness came along, and Elindra (now awake) had to leg it back to the spider, followed shortly after by the other two. Big spider was happy, and we could potentially manage to get back to Thistlehold. Maybe.

To Uncle Bulgaria's lair!

We went over to the big sinkhole and met with the giant spider. It was ginormous and spidery, and Murmei doesn't like spiders. The spider told us to go get the "Black Heart" which is in some kind of caraffe in a tomb or something like that.

Because we're of the "what could possibly go wrong?" the spider's offer of biting us to make us immune to the Creeping Darkness's freezing touch was met with a "yes please". So now we have a pact with a spider.

We had some other people (not the Wombles) tag along to the tomb/dungeon place and curse their sudden but inevitable betrayal. Battle ensued. But because we got a trapped door open, and it closed behind us, I think we had the upper hand.

Oh yes, and there's something about a sentient, evil shrubbery that walks and attacks people. Maybe we can ascertain whether or not it says "ni!" if we get close enough and not kill it first. We make no promises.
