Ijjer's Tale, Story Three

For some reason, a Fighter Elf named Lukan came searching for Blackwing. Think something strange about that relationship, but Elfs weird like that. [Yet another classic 'oh, here's a new party member moment!]

We follow the small dwarf creatures down into the temple, and immediately there problems. They argue about which way to go, so we must make decisions. We decide, which works out well until we hit room with no floor [called 'The Floorless Room']. Much danger and excitement as we climb across, but then we get the 'downy chute'! Much hilarity of tube-riding ensued, with us all bunching up to the guy in front. At end of ride, we fall into room (I nearly dead at that point), and find room to be already inhabited by spiders. Argh! I stay out of way best I can and let others stomp spiders [my rolling is terrible].

After spiders go squish, we head into more sunken temple, and poke about. 'Down' is the direction of choice, but weirdly there are ghosts around, doing their own thing. Not bothering us, so good. We find more street that leads to waterfall. Very big waterfall. We don't go down that way, but look down to see large plaza we were told about that dragon likes to sit in. No dragon at the moment.

We also near large bank, which we decide to investigate. This also contains ghost, who insist Lukan is old dead human that needs to pay debt. Lukan not agree, and we end up in fight with ghosts. There river in front of bank that goes to waterfall, and I nearly go down, but survive to tell that tale. Surprisingly, despite our initial ideas to run from ghosts, we end up defeating them. We then find bank has teleporter to somewhere, but decide to secure ourselves in the bank for the night.
