They took Lorgen before be could come to an agreement on how to escape. May the Light of the Lord guide him on his journey. I chose to take the path through which others haven’t returned. Climbing a short rise and down a dark passage I came to a chamber. I cast the glory of Ardennor within to reveal a large chamber with other exits. Moving through the chamber a fell spirit rose from the very ice, a banngeist I think. It evaded the blinding light I cast upon it and attacked. Others came charging into the chamber, as I attempted to Turn the creature by the glory of Ardennor, but it rebuked my an my heart filled with dread, and so I shamefully fled blindly from back from where I came. I hear a horn blowing and shortly the familiar faces of my allies Schlomo and gnome brought me back to my senses. Returning to the chamber my other companions and some others were just finishing the battle with the banngeist, which has somehow sunk one of the new warriors into the ice. Soon we dispatched the creature with fire and blade.

Blessed am I to have such companions to come searching for me. But we had onlya few moments of greeting and recovery before we were attacked from two directions by the demon spawn. It was a fierce battle, having no weapons, I was only able to pull a couple of our companions to safety after they were paralyzed by some fell means, while the others battled on. Sunny was savage fury among the enemy leaping through flames conjured by some dark woman with the group. Mudreck held the line at the opposing passage but took heavy damage, but of course charged in to aid the priest of Thraxus after slaying his opponents.

By the Glory of Ardennor I am rejoined with my companions, and some others. But what an odd group we are now. Once again led by the skald Valbraun, with the slayers Sunny and Mudreck at his side, the stalwart Schlomo and the odd little gnome. With them came a warrior of the Beaver Clan and a strange woman of perhaps the Raven clan. Apparently they had already lost another warrior before finding me. They bestowed upon me a shimmering flail and an ancient holy symbol. We did what we could with the bodies to hide our presence and then began our retreat to a temple they had previously found.

May the Ardennor’s Light guide our way…
