Expedition A

Down the stairs, 50 feet below surface, to Level One

Room 1: empty

Room 2: empty

Room 3: a couple of secret doors are found.  A wandering monster, a Hero of Chaos, steps out from the first secret door.  The Hero turns hostile and quickly slays Tolton, the Cleric.  Vol the Fighter counter-attacks and the melee is on.  While the two fighters are occupied, Barrick enters room 4 and encounters a Conjurer (3rd level magic user).  The Conjurer is friendly and agrees to cast a Charm Person spell on the hostile hero in room 3.  The spell fails and Vol is slain.  Barrick and the Conjurer make a run for it.  They go into room 4, chased by the Hero (rolled a 1, damn).  But they are faster.  Barrick throws 100 gp on the floor to distract the Hero.  It works.  Barrick and the Conjurer enter room 5 (empty) and cast "hold portal" on the door.  The Hero of Chaos gathers up the gold and departs.  Barrick and the Conjurer leave the dungeon and part ways.  Thus Barrick the Magic User returns to town, poor and friendless. But at least he's still alive.
