He's dead, but nice.

This is going to be pretty brief. 

We'd explored everything we could find on the east side, so we went to the west side of the caverns.  Over there:

We found zombies and defeated them easily, found magic traps that we should have avoided, found the dead guy that was in charge of the castle and he wanted us to help and didn't want to kill us, so that was nice.  He gave Listillin a magic sword, which was also nice.  I guess he's still sitting down there, a nice undead zombie, sad he killed his wife and kids and everyone way back when.

We found stairs going down and accidentally found some hobgoblins.  They were in a big room with a pit and a big pet jumping spider.  Listillin did NOT fall in the pit (which was new) and the spider was a pain as it hopped all over and kept avoiding me.  Hobgoblins work together pretty well as a team and are tough to hit when they're clumped together blocking for each other, and this was no different, and the pit made it difficult to get position, but in the end we killed them and the spider was more irritating than deadly, and we once again prevailed.

I don't recall if there was any treasure.

We paused there and were ready to search the room.

Oh no, it's an ooze!

Into the darkness, we found a series of caverns filled with aggressive rats.  We got a bit split up and overconfident in taking these out and were attacked by a large oozy blob (what we later found out was called an ochre jelly).  It hit me pretty hard and it got a bit dicey when we thought we killed it, but just split it in two, but even though it was gooey, our weapons still seemed to do damage to it and we killed it with all the rats.

Then came trouble.

Findel and I were searching the room for treasure and anything else we could find while Izzy and Listillin found a set of double doors that said, "Keep out!" on them.  They were insistent on opening the door.  We'd found a secret door and were inspecting it when we heard, "It's attacking us!"

Findel and I ran over to find the ranger and Listillin in deadly combat with a toxic blue ooze thing.  The rogue and Idria were trying to help, but it was beating on Listillin pretty hard.  We ran over, Findel firing arrows and healing while I bulled my way to the front and challenged the ooze to attack me.  That mostly worked, but it kept exploding in big puffs of poisonous gas and spraying all of us.

It was very unpleasant and we all got hit pretty hard by it, but in the end we were able to defeat it as well.  The room it was in was filled with water and we recovered a couple of scrolls and I got a magic shield to go along with my magic armor.

At this point we decided to use this room as a home base and rest.  There was only one entrance, the inhabitant seemed pretty dangerous (although it was now dead), and we figured it was easily defensible.  We spent the "night" without incident.
