Theldin goes back to guard the women in the evil wizard's bedroom.

We check two nearby rooms - hill giant and ettin bedrooms, currently empty. We get loot from the hill giant room. The ettin room has trapped chests - one with poison (set off), one with fire (set off) and full of rocks, and one with magic (disabled) with cash and magic rocks.

We look through walls next to doors. A store room for Diren; Moth thinks he sees elf babies. We dash in, it's a store room. There's a secret passage between the rooms with boxes. Inside one is a half-orc fighter and human merchant. They say they're captives of the ettins. Half-orc worked for temple but has changed his ways. He lies! We interrogate him, he's an unrepetant servant, but not knowledgeable. We discuss using him to mislead the temple leaders.

We take them back to Theldin and his women. As we escort the prisoners to the room, gargoyles emerge from a passage to the main part of the level. We spring into action. Elmo engages them, Pire summons a celestial rhino, Diren tries to circle around and fails to get to them before most are dead. One tries to flee but is brought down but Diren's single attack, Moth's crit on an arrow, and Javier's alchemists fire.

We send the rhino forward to the big bads with a couple elementals. Just to cause chaos. Diren follows up sneaking to see what's what. Lots of monsters, spread out. He heads back, we plan. Head to east half of this level for now.

Across to tapestry room. Loot some small stuff from the dead troll loot. Concealed door behind tapestry - head through. Nice bedroom, good money loot but no magic. Diren finds a secret door behind a mirror in the closet, after joking about there being one.

Through there we find a wizard's lab and bedroom. Good loot - including some magic and a portable hole illusioned to look like a sticky hanky. And puzzle box eggs that have crystal unholy symbols that we smashed. The portable hole has lots of potions, some spellbooks.

Mess room. Diren sneaks in, throws dagger but it doesn't hit. Then the ogre grows huge and makes a darkness aura. Elmo tosses his returning javelin at the ogre a few times. Diren tries to back away but gets slammed with a giant club, smacking him half to death. But a couple more javelins from Elmo puts the ogre down. Huge hits, but few HP. Then we put down the pudding.

And now the caramel sauce is burning!
