As the adventures were heading downstairs, the party of Kerigor, Timmels, Reef, Kaida, and Kabuteri showed up. They explained that they had been stuck in the cosmos from the tower when it collapsed and when they returned, we were already gone. Berrian Elder informed them of where the rest of the party was so they rushed to catch up.
The bottom of the stairs revealed a dark crypt with 2 doors, one small door and one large brass door. While everyone was examining the area, Orin asked Reef which door he thought looked best. Reef said the small one and Orin, being impatient, just waltzed through the door. On the other side were 2 large minotaurs. They said that they wanted the party to leave but with further discussion, the minotaurs escorted the party to the leader. The leader said that they lived here but had been having a feud with the gnolls that also lived down in the crypt. The minotaurs seemed nice enough so the party decided to help. Some of the party seemed a bit wary as the minotaurs were also accompanied by 2 large demons. The leader explained that the leader of the gnolls was an odd demonic being that seemed to be both minotaur and gnoll. The leader also explained that there were 2 minotaurs with the gnolls and asked for the party to rephrain from hurting them. The party reluctantly agreed and started to head towards the leader of the gnolls.
Before the party entered, Kerigor asked if he could go in first to try and help get the minotaurs out. Timmels decided he would hide on Kerigor when he entered. As Kerigor entered, the odd minotaur/gnoll exclaimed that he wanted everyone to join him at a feast on his table. The party was surprised that he knew they were all there and decided not to partake in the food. It didn’t take much discussion before the minotaur/gnoll decided to attack. He blasted a wave over the closest too him, trying to daze them. He caught Melgar but everyone else avoided his blast. Garo summoned the card of flame and blasted the minotaurs and the gnolls. Kriv struck a mighty blow against the minotaur/gnoll. Melgar sent a devastating multi-attack into one of the gnolls. Berrian summoned a huge fireball, engulfing nearly all the enemies. The battle continues to ensue…
