We're playing B2 — Keep on the Borderland, so if you haven't played that you might want to skip this entry.
Attending
Clockwise round the table, starting with the Labyrinth Lord:
- T.K.B., the Labyrinth Lord.
- T.A., playing Glen the Strategist (a wizard) and Dooley the sly (a thief).
- M.A., playing James the Cleric and Jeffrey the Monk.
- E.A., playing Curufin the Elf and Drusilla the Ranger.
- L.B., playing Taffy the Halfling and Alice the Cleric
Actual Play
They went to room 24, where they ran into 2 hobgoblins. 1 whip, 1 javelin, 2 longswords, 2 chain. #1: 5 cp, 2 sp, 3 ep. #2: 2 cp, 6 sp, 6 ep. Silver armlet, 135 gp. The 2 captured guards took service for arms & armor & room & board.
Taffy let the gnoll loose, and it attacked her. Dooley and Jeffry join the grapple and kill the gnoll after it drives Taffy to –2 HP. Dooley lest out orc with Glen holding a crossbow on him. The orc ran for the head of the valley, and Dooley yelled “Come back!”, even as he, Taffy, Curafin and Drusilla loosed arrows. Dooley and Taffy's shafts killed the orc. Jeffry lost his Lawful alignment and his monkhood for suggesting, with glee, torture and murder. 100 gp reward from the captured Merchant. +1 magic dagger (to Glen). Jeffry gave his share of the treasure to Drusilla. “Jeffry the Shamed!”
Afterward
M.A. was not happy that Jeffry was not a monk any more, and I had him have Jeffry do some penance between games to regain his happy monkhood.

Attending
- T.K.B., the Labyrinth Lord
- M.A., playing Niall, a cleric
- L.B., playing Caramel, a halfling
- T.A., playing Angrim, and Elf
Actual Play
S, W to SW, S, SE, S, SE, NE, NW, around CH, N, NW, SW, slid down the greased steps and all fell in northmost O (Oubliette). I said that Caramel's 10 foot pole fell across the entrance to the oubliette, so they were able to throw Angrim's grappling hook up and snag it and climb back out.
Back up the greased steps, and then NE to northmost G, where they killed 4 gray goblins. 9 sp, 14 sp, 3 sp, 11 sp, 4 scale armor, 2 light crossbows, 4 flails. Caramel took one light crossbow.
Went back to village. With last time's haul they have 8 scale armor (260 gp), 4 maces (10 gp), 4 flails (6 gp), 3 light crossbows (24 gp). Total: 300 gp, 100 gp each. Spent 2 weeks at village.
Back to the Gray Goblin Warrens. S, W to SW, S, SE, S, SW, first covered pit. Angrim fell in. Used Caramel's 12 iron spikes to get around turn to where Angrim could climb up.
Back to village.
