Hiring a couple meatshields, the party heads down to the Lost Level through the caves. Returning to the thieves hideout, they make a more thorough search, finding a secret room off of one of the alcoves. Borumar disarms the trap on the door, and within they find the thieve’s stash.

Behind another alcove was a concealed door. Down the long hall, through the destroyed wizards chamber to the far door. It explodes when they try to open it, dropping the hirelings. Potions are quickly poured down throats, reviving most of them. Jurda doesn’t make it.

Morgana casts invisibility on Borumar, and he scouts ahead. They find a summoning room, with a silver inscribed circle. They take the silver. Returning to the room with the steel chest and the weird brown fog, Borumar strips down to his bark armor, and heads in to try to get the chest. He fails. Lady Eiric summons an earth elemental to grab the chest. It does, and they head for the surface. They’re attacked on the way by a pack of ghouls. Darryl destroys 5, Morgana fries the rest with a fireball.

Gains: various coins and a bunch of jewelry, silver from the summoning circle.
Kills: 9 ghouls
Losses: Jurda, again.
