After having spent a few days in Rakdrol, the party gathered in their room, only Daramuk was missing. A discussion was started by the latest member to join the Brotherhood, Taelyn. He was approached by someone that claim he had information useful for the Brotherhood. Everyone was in agreement that they should go meet this fellow. Taelyn was to be the main point of contact, Solarion would follow in an invisible form and the rest of the party would follow from afar.
Taelyn meet the man outside in the street and was led to a stable where Bathi with an R completely bamboozle Taelyn. After quite a long discussion, the party came to the conclusion that Bathi with an R was the village fool. Taelyn felt shameful!
After that, it was time to go into the mine itself and see what was waiting for them. The first thing they encounter was a wall of Fire. Not wanting to waste spell, the party went right through the wall and got burn. They arrived in a fairly circular room with eight tunnel. Each tunnel was protected by yet another wall of fire. Solarion called upon his god and silly little monster appeared. He send them into the fire to see what was beyond it. They all died, but were able to discern that one of the tunnel was the way further. The party took the hallway, while getting burn again, and reach the second level.
In a small circular room, they party encounter two small stone on the ground, its material was unknown. For some reason, the party thought it would be a good idea to stand on them, nothing happen. Once everyone was in the room, the stone flash a very bright light that lasted only a few seconds. It seemed to not have any effect. But a bit down the hall, the party member with infravision realized that their infravision was gone. Going forward, the party reached another wall of fire. Once thru, and burned, the party arrived in a very large circular room and monster appeared in front of them. A fight ensue, but to the party surprise, the monster duplicated themselves. In a panic, the party fought on bravely and were able to dismiss the duplicating monster. This fight had taking its toll on the party, a few were hurt, spell repertoire were almost all gone, but for some reason, called it bravery if you will (other would call it foolishness), the party went down to the third level.
After passing yet another wall of fire, and again being burned, the party entered an extremely large room with a high ceiling and a dozen large pillars that reached the ceiling. Being hurt, the party exercise caution. They ask the Draken to go scout the place. Doing an extremely poor job at hiding himself, he walked towards one of the pillar to get the surprise of his life. As he got near, a Fire Giant walk from behind the pillar. Scared for his life, Draken turn to run, but the Giant hit him once. Draken was badly hurt, but continue his run. Out of nowhere, three more giant came out. Some of the party member, unable to enter such a fight, went back into the tunnel away from the fight. But Thundare was unable to leave his friend behind. With great bravery, he looked upon the Giant that hit Draken and start casting. Draken, in his infinite wisdom and love for another member of the Brotherhood, tried to grab Thundare to led him out. But this action had the effect of putting Thundare out of sync for his spell and it fizzled out. Furthermore, due to this delay, the Giant strike at Draken once more, bashing his skull in. His body lay motionless on the ground. Thundare only had one choice at that moment, he grab Draken lifeless body and ran out. Due to the size of the tunnel, the giant were unable to follow.
The party went back out and took Draken’s body to the church. There, Solarion performed a miracle and brought him back from the dead. A look of horror was on his face when he came back to. What he’s seen will forever be lock in his head.
