We got back into the action right as the flames died down and the cellar was clear. Ulfgar was clearly still not happy about Dace's code of conduct, so he bellowed a challenge and charged in. Groot and Bernie just stood there bemused, as Wizzik tried to interpose himself, without success. Dace proceeded to crack the dwarf's pauldron with his greatblade, then knocked him out with a strike of the pommel. Ulfgar lost a tooth.[1]
The adventurers then agreed on no more in-fighting. Dace carried Ulfgar as they made their way to the 3rd floor of the mansion, and they holed up with Xozu for the night.
Well rested, the adventurers returned to the dungeon to find the illusions back in place and the traps reset. They did also anticipate new guards to be put in place. However, as I was moving in the mobs, a canny player remarked on seeing the outline of their icons. I said nothing, just doubled the numbers.
Dace then put his hand on the door handle, the traps went off, and all hell broke loose.
The adventurers quickly became enwebbed but stood firm against the onslaught, killing any guards that dared stray too close.
Helped by Wizzik, Dace ripped off the webs, braced himself with a Second Wind, beheaded the guard standing in front, and charged into the room. Bernie tiptoed in as well, hiding behind the minotaur's bulk and loosing arrows left and right. The two of them cleared the guard room soon enough.
Seeing themselves on the loosing side, a guard deactivated the magical effects and ran to the doors below, knocking to call for reinforcements. Another did the same to the door on the left. More guards, as well as armored bugbears joined the fight.
We carried on until it got late, and decided on finishing for the night in mid-fight.
