Shrinking parties?

A/N: The site I normally post this blog on, no longer allows non-members to view the blogs, therefore, I'm going to post my blogs here (http://darquing.blogspot.com).

In our last session (3/6/1010) (about a month ago 'cuz our DM had a bowling tournament two weeks ago when we would have played), we saw the passing of Lynus the Bard. :(

Yesterday's session saw the entrance of Marc the Deva Invoker/Cleric. Not a major damage dealer or healer, but he helped to keep the party alive and kill the bad guys, which is what matters. :)

Leviticus the Ranger wasn't feeling too good from the lizardfolk's poisons, so he got left behind when Vimak the Fighter showed up with Marc. (Jam's player told the DM that he'd be working, so Arbek's player took care of Jam).

We fought more lizardfolk and crocodiles, bringing Jam down to zero healing surges before stopping to rest. Note to self: never set a fire in the middle of a dungeon. We got surprised before we were completely rested after starting a fire. Naturally we slew the attackers, stacking their corpses in the doorway to prevent further surprises. After we were sufficiently rested, we moved on to the other rooms, finding a child's father we'd originally came for. Once we'd killed the lizardfolk, we tried to convince him that he'd be safer in the cell, but he didn't believe us, so we let him out. We still have a lot more lizardfolk to kill before we're done with this temple, though. :P
