Jelly Babies

Descending into the mining shaft, following the rails of a pair of mining carts.  Adjacent to the main mining cavern, the party finds an outpost.  Moving in, Kushii detects and disarms a trapped door.  The party spies a colony of vegepygmies, worshiping some weird stone egg.  On the south wall, "The curved Elven blade comes" in orcish.  Lars is able to make contact and inquire about the path of the emkrah.

Through a side door the party crosses a side room, into a hallway where an ochre jelly engages the party but proves not to be much of a threat.  The ochre jelly had removed the trail the emkrah was leaving.  Further down the hallway, the party spies a group of morlocks morning over the loss of one of their comrades.  Not to let an opportunity pass, Lars goes invisible and pretends to be the spirit of their fallen friend and admonishes the morlocks to help the party when they arrive.  The morlock leader agrees, and after a few moments Lars announces himself and gains the help of the chieftain, heretofore referred to as 'Rubbish'.

Leading the party down into the lower caverns, the party ambushes a group of derro digging at some metallic object imbedding in the stone.  The party quickly dispatches them and loots the area.  Over in the next cavern, a mural of ancient mythology where gigantic tentacled horrors roam the countryside covers the wall and the smell of urine fills the air.  Troglodytes mill about and the party ambushes and loots them as well.

Jelly cubes (Gelatinous Cubes) are blocking the passage down into the lower caverns.  The poor jellies are savagely overcome by the energetic adventurers.  More looting happens.  The party retreats to recuperate, before descending below.
