Session 3 Report: Journey into the Sunless Citadel

General Summary

The group arrives at the Temple of Pelor in Oakhurst where they meet Dem Corky Nackle, she told the group that the goblins bring a red fruit in the summer that has amazing restorative properties, and a white fruit in the winter that kills those that eat from it. She says that people come from across the region to obtain the fruit so they can plant the seeds themselves. The mayor of Oakhurst purchased the apple last summer. Dameila was cured of blight disease in exchange for giving the magic fruit to Corky if the source is pure, or destroying the source if it is evil. Rowan went into Corky's office where she found her diary as well as magic and mundane church supplies, Rowan left these but Corky noticed her office had been unlocked.
While drinking at the Ol' Boar inn the night before their adventure an elf overheard the group discussing the Sunless Citadel and approached them. The elf's name was Dagor and he asked the group for a favor, in exchange for bringing him 10 right goblin ears he would give the group a Potion of Superior Healing. The group agreed with a handshake and Dagor went back to gambling in the corner. The group noticed tree saplings 2 feet high planted behind the mayor's house on their way out of town. On the Old Road going North the group found a women trapped in the ditch, after the group cut the vines and pulled her to her feet Thoril healed her using lay on hands. The women introduced herself as Sarah and thanked the group as she headed back to Oakhurst.
In the clutches of a great thunder storm the adventurers came across the remnants of the ranger Karakas' camp. As the group inspected the camp they were ambushed by a Vine Blight and Twig Blights from the undergrowth. With blade and flame they were dispatched and the group found a map of the local area left by the Ranger. Using the map the group found the collapsed bridge near the ravine where the citadel lies. Using a rope tied to a nearby pole the group descended into the ravine where they were attacked by nesting giant rats. With a flourish of skill the rats were slain and the group made their way over rubble to the entrance of the Sunless Citadel.
As Thoril marched the group to the door a pit opened under him, but Rowan's quick hands jammed the trap using her thieves tools and pulled her friend to safety. Inside the citadel the group entered a round room with two wooden doors. To the left door Thoril found an empty room with a large locked stone door emblazoned with a motif of a dragon. In the round room Dameila found a loose stone and by pressing it in she opened a secret stone door where 3 ancient skeletons reanimated and attacked. As the rest of the group took cover behind the wall Rowan and Dameila rushed forward and slayed the skeletons with rapier and dragon breath. In the last skeletons dying shot it knocked Dameila unconcious, but she miraculously recovered a moment later. In the remains the group finds some coins and a +1 arrow. As the dangerous nature of this dungeon begins to dawn on the group they take a moment to heal Dameila before moving further into the Citadel.
