Rosia Lightfoot's Journal - Part 2

We explored the doorways to the east and found signs of a battle. There was also a stinking room with a privvy and a dead orc in it. We left that room quickly, via an exit to the north. Here we were attacked by a strange creature that came down from the ceiling and filled the room with magical darkness. Even the glowing balls of Parademius could not light the way! Oren and Curbag killed the creature with little difficulty, and we continued on north, where we we attacked by a swarm of rats. The sorceror Isaak worked some magic and sent them all to sleep, and we killed them with ease as they slumbered.

We carried on to the north and found a room were we were attacked by some flying creatures, like large bats, but with pointed noses which they tried to use to pierce us and suck our blood! Curbag and Oren were in the thick of things again, and Curbag was grappled by one of these vampyric creatures and lost some of his vital fluid... Quercus and Isaak used their spears to aid the combat, and I retired to a safe distance to pick them off with my crossbow. Unfortunately 2 more of the things attacked and one of them flew over to me. I was forced to drop my crossbow and draw my sword to beat off the creature. Eventually we slew them all, and decided to go back and rest in one of the southerly rooms. Quercus used his divine magic to heal us all, and then we rested here before going on, keeping the doors shut and one of us always on watch.
