Gord the Grey arrives with Irving the Delk at the Inn in Midmeadow, and Gord places an "X" on the beam where the MU can see it later. He also places the letter that he found as Tim in the future back in the place where he will find it. This sets up a paradox, except that somebody (an agent of whatever force is around to make sure such paradoxes do not occur, to be sure) finds the letter six months later, reads it, recopies it, and replaces it. Gord prepares to depart for Greyhawk.

He meets Nerof and talks about the land and getting a direct line of credit to the Moneychangers Guildhall. Nerof tells Shzzt to show up at his office (which is in his home) the following day to further discuss the matter and to mark the area of purchase on a map. He will then take it before the council for voting. Cost of the land should
be 6,000N per 10'x10' area of land near garbage hill.

If Shzzt shows up- Nerof has spoken with the Moneychanger's Guildhall and gives Frznt the go ahead to run a direct line of credit. He is impressed that Frznt uses the "notes" issued by the Moneychangers
Guildhall, since these are only offered to really big depositers.
- DM Info in file -
[Lief]:
Cost of the land should be 10,000N per 10'x10' area around the city walls, (6,000N per 10'x 10' area of land near garbage hill). Nerof tells Frznt that unfortunately, since Frznt is not a citizen of the Free City, he cannot purchase any land, save in the Foreign Quarter. He is invited by Nerof to lease the land at the rate of 1N per 10'x 10' area per year this close to Garbage Hill. Other leases go for 2N per 10'x 10' area. Any building that is done must be done with a building permit. Nerof also will get Shzzt alone and inquire as to the real reason for the land purchase. If money is involved, Nerof wants a piece of the action in return for the attempt he will make to push the matter through council.
Will make an issue of confiding in Shzzt that he is actually a thief (although this is common knowledge among the populace).

Gord arrives in Greyhawk City. Irving has hinted that he has been sent by Hextor, although he does not actually say it. Irving says to call him David the Delk. 50N are left to the Istusian church by Gord. Gord meets up with Shzzt and Irving lets himself be known.

The other Ogres attack from the gates as the party tries to take out the ones on top of the walls.
Ruckus the Ranger is 70 yds from the beginning of the bridge, with Shzzt lying on top of him. Phaedrus lies upon the other side 60 yards from the shore. All three are too frightened to move. Leif arrives at the ruins in search of the rest of the party. There are some figures who are very scared. Leif and Quartz and Garkeim manage to release the FEAR from all of the characters. They take a quick look through the ruins of the ground level. They find the lair of the Ogres within these ruins. Schweigy is sent in first to check out the lair. He sees straw beds, meat hanging to dry, and a
Stone Chest. Schweigy is horrified to see that a couple of the pieces of meat hanging are human. He runs out of the lair and clings to Garkeim's leg. Phaedrus enters and opens the Stone Chest.
The party takes: 300N, 4 gems(see below), 2 delicate glass vials containing colored liquid.
The party fights 12 trolls and Slime is killed. During the fight, Garkeim gets an attack of the willies and backs out of the fight. Shzzt goes down and uses up three HEALING potions to revive himself before leaping back into the fray. Leif leads four of the Trolls up the stairs, setting off the two traps Kay had earlier detected. He manages to kill these four using several spells, but is almost killed himself. Most of the party gets decimated, but in the final count, only Slime is dead.
Leif turns into an owl to await the smoke coming out of the entrance to the dungeon to clear. The party burns the Trolls and must wait two hours before the fire dies down. They then go to investigate the "CLANG" sound they heard when Leif lead the four Trolls up the stairs. They find they are trapped and Leif talks to them from two levels above.
Phaedrus discovers that the wall that the Trolls attacked them through does not really exist. They find a 20 x 20 room where the Trolls await adventurers to ambush. They go back up to the third landing and talk to Leif who is 30' above at the first landing. Leif then turns into a mouse and scurries to meet the party. Quartz STONE SHAPES the wall on the third landing to allow the escape of imprisonment eventually.
They then go back down to the illusionary wall that the Trolls came through to rest for eight hours in
the 20 x 20 room of the Trolls. It is 6:00 pm when the party begins its rest 8 hour rest. There are no encounters in this time, and it is then 3:00 am. Then Leif begins memorizing spells for 6.1 hours, while the others use Healing spells. At 9:00 am, they are attacked by three armored (but unenhanced) Trolls. They are hit with Shzzt's AMULET OF FEAR and all flee back down the stairs at full speed.
These Trolls go downstairs to find Jhinjhra and tell him of the invaders. It takes about 1/2 an hour for Jhinjhra to become informed of the invasion. Jhinjhra sends 6 Trolls up to the 20 x 20 area to clean out the secret room. As the party prepares to leave the dungeon at top speed, Shzzt (once again) spots a secret door in the back wall of the 20 x 20 room. The party quickly discusses whether they will run or check the new room.
Quartz STONE SHAPES (with Leif's help) more area so the party can flee safely through the barred areas without having to slow down
The party loots the secret Troll room on the fifth landing. Leif calls out that he hears something coming. The party leaves the dungeon immediately. Garkeim ferries everyone across the chasm on his Magic Fly.
Three Trolls are seen checking out the area near the entrance to the dungeon, but they go back in almost immediately. They then leisurely walk back to Greyhawk City. A bandit steps out of
the bushes and levels a double barrelled crossbow at the party. Laughing, the bandit asks the party to drop all their valuables.
Garkeim says "Get out of my way, I've had a hard day."
A fight ensues and two of the bandits are killed eventually, after much torture and degradation. The leader tries to invoke several Gods, and finally one of the Gods (Nerull) steps in and helps the fighter by taking his life. The one fighter escapes and returns to the lair in Greyhawk City (eventually). The party resumes their trek to Greyhawk City.

Payday for Quartz 250N/month Payday for Slime 300N/month (Slime does not want payment this month because of the Splint Mail). The party prepares to go to the dungeon. Garkeim ferries everyone across the bridge to the other side. The party re-enters the dungeon.
Shzzt goes forward to find that five Trolls wait in ambush and he quickly withdraws his head. He does not see the two open kegs of oil. The party discusses courses of action and agree that Leif should FIREBALL the area. As the party is going back up, the Trolls believe that their prey is getting away, so they rush out, surprising Leif.
Leif gets nailed. The others rush in to help, very narrowly saving Leif's life. A pitched battle ensues.
The party fights Trolls, and manages to knock many of them down. One is beheaded, and as its body tries to reconnect to its head, Phaedrus kicks it in the rear end, knocking it into another and knocking them both down the stairs.
Oil is thrown upon the Trolls, causing all five to slowly die. An oil is tossed into the room with the two barrels, catching fire. Then, Rusko fires another fire arrow at a Troll and misses, it then hits another barrel. Shzzt sees this and yells, "Incoming!" and dives down the stairs. INVISIBILITY cast by Leif upon himself when Shzzt says "Incoming!" One of the two barrels explode in the room, killing Rusko and the five trolls, and taking Phaedrus down. Most of the party escapes around the corner.
Gord writes, "This stair is trapped" on the stair at the seventh landing. The party hooks up within the dungeon and then goes back to the surface. They then head back to town. They try to determine how to go about bringing the Ranger back from the dead. Garkeim finds out Friedar is not at the Wizard's Hat. He goes in Full Plate to the Silver Garter. Ogress says, "No Armor in my Place!" So Garkeim goes back to find Friedar at home (went for a walk). Kay had run ahead to The Silver Garter and brought Friedar home.
