Our battles have not been without levity, however. Our clever gnome rogue, Gweener, has seen fit to entertain our depraved sense of humor while at the same time confusing and frightening our enemies with gnomish tricks. The severed head of a hobgoblin was put to good use in scaring off a sizable group of goblins as well as intimidating a new addition to our ranks, a rather frightened yet suspicious goblin named Splug. We tolerate his presence for now, if only to lighten our own loads for a time.
After securing Splug's services, he directed us to the goblin leader, a most cowardly (even for goblin-kind) creature named Balgron. After offering up a small platoon of his goblin forces to our hungry blades, he fled into the darkness of the keep. In our pursuit, we plunged into the darkness and slew Balgron, only to be beset upon by hordes of giant rats, and worse. While the rats surrounded us, a giant ooze attacked from the darker recesses of the dungeon, assailing us with acid and splitting itself into yet more enemies when we attempted to kill it.
Finally, after many mighty blows from Luthor's greatsword, the cutting daggers of Gweener, and the good graces of Moradin's humble servant Fargus, we stood victorious over the now lifeless bodies of our foes. Upon inspection, we discovered a hidden safe room, presumably to which Balgron was fleeing. I believe we will take this opportunity to rest, with the assurance that we have thus far remained undetected by the ultimate foe we seek...
