Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Hungry, hungry minotaurs (halloween edition)

It's Halloween! Or, it was the day we played. So the adventurers followed the sound of the Addams' family theme song into a large cavern where ghostly minotaurs dressed in sheets were doing an evil ritual. The minotaur chief smashed a jack-o-lantern, releasing smaller ghostly minotaurs. Roll for initiative!

The armored adventurers stood their ground in front of Szivem's wall of fire, gravely hurting all minotaurs who broke through. Groin's channel divinity destroyed two groups of smaller ghosts. With the opening shots fired, the fight was on.

Blood crazed and famished, the minotaurs (dressed as ghosts) charged through the wall of fire and swarmed the adventurers. Groin disappeared but Tari appeared instead, machine gunning her way through the monsters.

With all the monsters through, Szivem and Antrius teleported to the other side, leaving the armored contingent stranded. At this point, the evil permeating the room clouded the martial adventurers' minds, leaving them also blood crazed.

Fortunately, all 3 of them went unconscious at certain points, breaking free of the curse.

Antrius zapped the minotaur chief, with the rest of them (including the returned Groin) mopping up. They tried questioning the chieftain, but got nowhere, so they killed him. A short rest also half failed due to the stench and evil aura. 

So the adventurers retreated to the level above, and spent the night with the dark elves, after some gambling and planning, of course.
