Found cabins. Another dead orog with a split skull. They do not have brains and brain was not voluntarily extracted.

Front/bridge. Invisible Illithid captain. Ngathrod. Long negotiation whether we should get the helm for him and help him escape to then get the ship or just kill him. Ended up killing.
Out from the ship again, fuddling around a bit finding a dead end with a portal with an arrow on it. Continuing north through winding tunnels we find a sloping tunnel assumedly to the next floor. A side tunnel leads back to the spaceship. Checking a side nook quickly killing an ooze.

Jarûk the Dao.

Huge eyeball, stalks. Three gas beholders attack us and are popped. A deep chasm reveals more, including a real? Beholder? With something shiny on its tongue.
Erik climbs down. Fishing up the dead beholder with piercing, Lyria takes it off and pockets it. Gold stud with periodot.

Moving through a narrow tunnel to the south, there is a portal between two pillars. In each of them is a nalfeshee. Erik talks to them, and eventually they attack.
Exploring sluggish tunnels, spotting some familiar places, going south. Meet Urm the mephit in a large room with lots of ooze and an oozing orb. Cael chats with Urm. He informs about the big statue and the Pudding Pit. We explore and find both. The pudding pit contains aggressive pud-dings.
Another portal with pillars with red Xs on them. Elder rune of chaos/Korombos.
Back to the ship for a long rest. -200 GP for the Hero’s Feast. On to the next floor for the phylac-tery from the lich Ezzact.

Downstairs, Cael discovers glyph trap. He gives an elemental gem to Tiziano to control, water elemental Turtle Chu goes through and trigger it.
Going north in the crosstunnels, finding a stone-eating halaster-golem. He doesn’t bother with us. Narrow tunnel leads to large cave. Strong wind through the chasm. Huge stalagmite with red rune on the top. 120 feet high.

Cael true sees a small flying dragon around the bit stalagmite.
Erik walks up on the stalagmite. Big disc shaped gem contains Halaster’s Rune. Touching does not trigger anything.

A pebble rolls down from the stalagmite. Lyria is unsure about value. It is magic. We are looking for a fragment of a Runestone.

The rune shifts colour from blue/white to purple shining bright orangy red.
Delivering the rune fragment to Jalester Silvermane, Mirth the Moneylender delivers Luck Blade. Suggests trading it for a dinner at his place. (Friendship/favour). He may or may not be a masked lord of Waterdeep.

Wyllow, druid, rules floor 5, wanted party to kill werebats and babies. Party decided not to.
Clan Ironeye 6th floor.
Dragon 5th floor.
Room, tapestry, dwarven kingdom mountain, ancient.
We’re in the temple of Dumathoin. Looking for tomb of King Malair.
This floor was once a dwarven kingdom. King Malair was the leader.
After a long rest, venturing west out of the main hall. Around a couple of corners there’s an Umberhulk, who’s ruined the bottle storage.
Northwest corner guarded by two metal dwarf statues. Shrine of four deities. The statues represent the dwarven deities Moradin (god of creation), Berronar Truesilver (god of hearth and home), Clangeddin Silverbeard (god of battle), and Marthammor Duin (god of exploration). Tapered brass sylinder on the floor. Part of an instrument? Trumpet piece? Not magical.
Wide corridor south.

Fresco of dwarves throwing gems into a xorn’s mouth. Real gems in the wall, pulled out.
Wall image of a rust monster. Erik touched a rusty spike, stepped through the gate and got restrained for 24h? Small room with alchoves. Ninlar used scroll to help Eric. Eric running back, it seems we are on floor 2 with the goblin market.
Returning through gate, Lyria gets the ability to cast augury 3x without comps or fails.
South door, empty room. Doors in all directions. West door. Furniture removed. Glowing pillars. Corridor north, crushed door, pit. Across the pit, a Xorn. It says something in Terran, Eric attacks with no warning.
Xorn runs, party chasing. Eric and Ninlar killed it. Moving back south after valuables, back past portal and room with doors. Opening south door, new portal. Carved with a stylized image of a mountain with a sun above it. Struggling to open the portal.
Moving on west and south, room with pillars. Stone finds secret doors to the south. Wall opens. Panels. Sarcophagus opens as we enter. Battle axes breaks free from walls and attacks. Lyria kills most with an Ice storm. Valuable crystal panels.
Discussion about what to do, leave the panels and get the duergar to pay for them. Someone coming towards us, invisible. Halaster, casting fireball at everyone except Eric. Eric fighting Umberhulk around the corner.
Halaster turned out to be a grey thing. Two umberhulks? Ruined wall. Large room, doorway with image of a hand pouring ale from a flagon on the south.
Lyria feels treasure to the south west. No secret doors. Back to the axe tomb room. Stone finds a secret door. Lyria finds a pit trap. Stone eventually finds another secret door. Large chamber with four statues of the four dwarven deities.
Lyria hears a voice in her mind promising to aid in revealing the true treasure if the knocks over the statue to the north west. Tiziano helps, devil comes out of the statue and thanks Lyria.
Malair’s tomb. Tiziano finds no traps, opens the sarcophagi. Writing etched in silver. Adamantine warpick, shield of dumathoin (sentinel shield). Stone picks up and throws the shield to Lyria. Eric tries to stop them. Ninlar carries off Eric. Demons have crushed other statues and multiplied, cornering the party to be devoured in a month or so.
