--We make our way through the locked doors ahead and find several elaborate dining room tables and hear a bit of scratching.
--It's very unusual for a banquet hall of this size not to have a single light source.
--This banquet hall has a very high ceiling, which isn't typical from what we've seen.
--Our spells and abilities are no longer regenerating!
--We encounter a giant spider with a goblin with a lance riding him. Most of us are webbed by the spider.
--We defeat the large spider and medium-sized goblin (another piece of the parchment, and 1500p, among other loot), then make our way toward the door to the southwest, where we hear someone singing.
--We find someone named Thorisman singing at the table, and he pours each of us a drink.
--He tells us that "You're going to need a good meal, because you're only halfway there."
--We go downstairs where Thorisman went, and we find ourselves in some kind of elaborate dungeon, where we find some traps.
