A weary party crowded itself into the small entrance chamber, huddled with all of their animals.  In an attempt to take a recover from exhaustion, they all laid down to sleep with [[Ornel Harlhome]] keeping the first watch.  The party was barely two hours into their slumber when Ornel woke them.  In the neighboring room, the party could hear what sounded like dogs barking; that is, if dogs could have a conversation.

==Double Dog Dare==
The party listened for a moment and quickly gathered a sense of urgency as the began to understand that the dogs were [[Garis]] and they were inspecting the party's handiwork on the now destroyed trolls.  With [[Lirris Liadon]] in the lead, the party charged into the next room and took the two [[Garis]] by surprise.

The [[Garis]], apparently wizards, were up to the task however and stood their ground with the party, despite being outnumbered.  The party dutifully rounded on them in unison delivering damage all around, but as things moved on [[Lirris Liadon]] disappeared.  Things got worse for the party as [[Ebil Yalies]] fell to a blow.  

With quick thinking, [[Ninon Salvo]] rushed to heal the healer about the time one of the lupine wizards succumbed to his wounds and fell.  The party, with a freshly revived cleric all fell upon the second wizard, who did not last long in the one sided fight remaining.  A healing kit was applied to the first wizard and Ebil healed up the rest of the party.

==In the Dog-house==
Once revived, the first dog to fall was bound and put to the question by [[Ebil Yalies]] who held back not an ounce of his/her rage.  The [[Garis]] was tortured and and questioned about the complex, giving up information about what was in the neighboring rooms and some information about how the security worked (what apparently he knew).  Dissatisfied with the 'tone' of the answers, the tenacious [[Ebil Yalies]] severed one of the wizard's fingers.

As Ebil questioned, [[Lirris Liadon]] came to realize that he was not on [[Otan]] any more.  Without the thorough training in cosmology afforded many [[Ælf]]es, he had a fairly good guess that he was on the elemental plane of fire.  Fortunately for the party, though perhaps at the expense of others, the spell was not ''complete''.  Lirris never fully materialized on the fire plane and slowly his material form began to reform in the same room from which he was banished.

==The Wizard Next Door==


==Rest and Exploration==
The party, now drained of most of its magic, opted for a short rest beneath the jutting out portion of the castle.  The compass was going wild.  This was clearly the lair of the sorceress [[Gulaisha Abzal]].  As the party searched for any treasure the elemental creatures might have been hoarding (besides an abundance of snow and ice), they did find a fissure in the ice wall.  The fissure appeared to have recent tracks entering it of both human and [[Garis]] origin.

After their rest, the party followed the fissure into a room made of blocks of ice-like stone that appeared to be of some magical origin.  Some watery tracks lead to a door at the north end of the room, which was only accessible by squeezing around a sheet of ice.  [[Raqim Anuar]] used his ''mage hand'' to open the door.  The next room appeared to contain a magical staircase.


Stay tuned...
