Faalor V, Chapter Two (July 29, 2006)

With the vampire-lord defeated, the party is now faced with the task of getting off the island while avoiding a dragon out in the bay.

The myserious gnome apparently convinced the giants to let the party pass through their territory. The party then entered the abandoned lair of the dragon, Vraalrym the Red. Dragon scales and dung littered the cave along with a goodly cashe of treasure. Unfortunately, the party had to pass through two magical barriers, doors and traps. Those with sufficiant willpower were able to pass through the barriers, but those lacking had to wait for Cyril to cast dispell magic to temporarily disable the barrier. As that was happeneing, Arrand continued down a hallway, where he discovered a group of barbarians. After a brief, but bloody battle, the party began to explore the area.

Apparently, the dragon had a sizable horde of treasure here, but took most of it as he found a better home away to the east. In one room, a lever was found. Just when everyone was inside, Kala pulled it and released a fog of sleep gas. Fortunately, it quickly wore off and the group was again searching for treasure.

Before long, the treasure caves appeared to be exhausted and the party began to move through an underground city built (apparently) by the Splurgorth who lived down there in great numbers. The running battle lasted until the party found one of the teleporters mentioned by the gnome.
