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.

“In what way was Dragon Age 2 good? Let’s have this discussion before I murder you.”
GM: “No retcons this session.”
Player: “Really? That doesn’t sound like you.”
GM: “What are you doing while the others are marching in?”
Player: “Woah! Marching is a strong word.”
GM: “You see what seems to be statues in the room.”
Player: “Oh god no.”
(Both Elindra and Valgai try to cut the heads off corpses to prevent them coming back as undead, and it gets a bit … involved.)
GM: “Let’s not make this into a competition. Both heads come off.”
Elindra: “Good news: it’s a dead Ordo Magica.”
Valgai: “How is that good news?”
Elindra: “It proves my hypothesis.”
Elindra: “I don’t want to be rude, but …”
Valgai: “Too late.”
Elindra: “I have another part of the plan you might not like.”
Valgai: “Let’s not discuss it then.”
“Success by 12.”
“You’re not murdered outright, well done.”
Valgai: “I can hear birdsong from outside, does that mean the birds are going to claw my eyes out?”
Elindra: “Yes, because we’re in Davokar.”
“See? It could be ended by Christmas. Just not in the way you expected.”
(Elindra gets a bit too enthusiastic talking about Murmei’s fighting prowess)
Murmei’s player: “I find your abundance of faith disturbing.”
“This is a really bad idea.”
“I’m gonna play it smart for the first time in this game.”
Murmei: “I’m gonna miss my scrotum-warmer.”
Murmei: “This feels like out of the frying pan into the fire.”
Elindra: “More like out of the lava into a slightly warm room. I’m being FOLLOWED by the lava.”
“That would be really cool too see, but it’s being done by a big spider so it’s also terrifying.”
To be continued!
