Day 1
As we make our way through the mines, a door ahead of us opens and several ghouls come out to greet us. Just as we finish them, another group wanders up ehind us. They manage to hurt us all pretty badly but we manage to dispose of them.
We huddle in a room and try to mend our wounds. We aren't doing so well, but after resting a few hours we patch up as much as we can. We head deeper into the mines.
After traveling a short time we come upon a room that contained a flaming skull that hovered in the center above a floor littered with bones. We fight the skull and win, but not without injuries. We're not sure what it was. We have to rest again.

Day 2
The next day we start out down a path that we have not been down. We find a room that is covered in moss and fungus. After much deliberation on if we are going into the cave, Betsy the dragon decides to enter the room iwth a wet cloth on his face. He falls but manages to cross the room unharmed.
The wizard burns a path across the room and makes it across unharmed as well. When the rest of us try to follow, I get sick and start to retch and vomit. So does the cleric. We are slightly injured before we manage to make it out of the room.
After a few minutes we seem to be ok but the druid cast some spell on us to be sure. We continue to the next room and stumble across a wraith. We defeat the monster, and find a chest full of gems and books. We take the things in the chest with us and rest for a while.
We find a room that has a beholder-like monster in it. We defeat it.
We head further into the mine and find a room containing three bugbears and a doppelganger. There is an attempt made to charm the doppelganger but it runs off. The sorcerer Zinge goes after it, and we get ready to fight the bugbears.
The halfling throws some ball bearings on the floor in an attempt to throw our enemies off their footing, but after they throw some javelins at us we run up to them and try to hit them and put a rope over their head.
We defeat the bears, but there is no trace of Zinge.

We head off to see if we can find Zinge. We find a room with two dark elves. They have a dwarf sitting against a wall.
