Can't Get Enough Of Your Blood, Baby. -Barry Wight

The party, rested and ready, sees that the coast is clear.  They sneak over an check on the room where the wights were last located.  Still there, the party plans their attack.  Inside the room, there were only three wight-spawn.  The fourth was elsewhere.  Luce took the brunt of the response, but the spawn were dispatched quickly.  Only a couple of rooms over, Benson the third was lurking about.  Kushi was the front man taking the hit, for that encounter.  Benson had amassed his own pile of loot.  Lars finally gets to read, "The line of Garthok shall be hidden until the keep is laid to ruin", the dwarven note by the small pit.

Backtracking to finish searching the second level, the party discovers a room full of ghouls.  Zhadora gets bitten in the opening round, but shakes off the fever once combat is over.  The party makes one last sweep for secret doors, then rests again before descending to the third level.

At the bottom of the stair, a simple door with many scuff marks, waits for the party.  Inside there are two shredded darkmantle corpses on crumbled torture equipment.  The next rooms doors are battered down, one with a tiny dragon corpse and treasure.  Then, peeking around the corner is the towering hobgoblin barbarian wight smashing his fists into a wall.  Lars polishes up his spellcasting prowess and manages to get control over the rage-wight.  Lars hands him a mace to help him pound through the wall, where there is also a secret door.  With weapon in hand, Barry Wight has no trouble smashing in the secret door and then catching a chest full of heavy crossbow bolts.

With the hobgoblins is Errid Vellishi, the Janni warrior that fought with the party earlier.  Barry Wight charges the barricade they've erected.  The rest of the party files in and eventually pushes Errid back into the other room, while the Hobgoblins and Barry fall into a magical pit.  Kushi, Zhadora, and Billy leap over into the other room.  They take out Errid, but manage to wake up the Owlbear guardian of the room.  The owlbear takes a couple of nics before Billy makes a spectacular shot and scatters owlbear brains all over the wall.

What will the party do?  In three rounds, the pit disappears. Barry Wight and his spawn will be looking for blood.   If Barry had a few ranks in Perform (Singing), I'm sure we'd hear the smooth, soulless sounds of singing from the deep, dark pit.
