AD&D 2nd Edition Revised Session 11

After moving on from the cemetery, we traveled towards the Temple of Gruumsh that we have on one of the maps we possess.  We arrived on the outskirts of the temple and I did a little scouting and found a village of orcs and the temple.  We decided to sneak in after Bram used the scroll of sending.  Through the scroll, we discovered that the mage was being held in the cave on the far side of the temple ruins and that there were some bad guys in there as well.  We snuck in hugging the wood palisade and made our way towards the cave where we encountered four Orog guards blocking the entrance of the cave.  While moving forward, a twig snapped under my foot and since they heard it, we were discovered.  We dispatched the four with ease.  We then proceeded into the cave, knowing that the ones inside were aware of our presence since one of the four guards grunted something inside alerting the other guards.
Temple of Gruumsh and Village of Bloody Skull

We made our way inside to see a cave with a 40 foot ceiling and nine iron cells, one with a large double door and one makeshift wooden shack with a door.  Since we knew that there were guards inside the cave, we thought they had gone into the shack and hid.  So we surrounded the entrance to the small shack and opened the door.  As soon as we did though, to cell doors clicked open and there were six other guards bearing down on us.  One of them shouting orders.  We fought them as best we could, however, I fell down twice, Bram fell down, and Nightwind died even after he consumed the whole potion of growth, but when his huge form fell, it knocked one into the fire and he burned alive.  Fortunately, his fall caused the one large cell that held the humans, the other cells held other demi-humans that were slaves, and the mage that we had encountered before noticed the door was unhinged and made his way out with two other humans.  The other two looked like fighters.  The mage made his way towards the shack while the other two tackled the one Orog while Ja'Lil battled the leader of their group.  There were only two left when the mage emerged and when he exited the shack he took out both the leader and the other Orog with a ring he possessed.  He raised Nightwind from the dead and healed me and Nightwind.  We then looted what we could find.  We are now leaving the cave hoping that Bram, who was healed by Ja'Lil, can cause a distraction with his wand of fire.

This is where we left off.  Until next time, good gaming and play safe.
