Egor, get my notes. Part 1.

The party returns to the chilled lowered caverns.  Scouting ahead, the next cavern looked clear.    But to the groups surprise two driders and a cultist were lying in wait.  The driders prove to be difficult foes, mixing melee, spells, and climbing on the walls into their tactics.  Rubbish attempts a spectacular maneuver to jump down on the cultist, but tragically misses (e.g. rolls a '1').  Things are tough, as the driders maneuverability helps them maintain the upper hand.  The cultist falls first, as he is simply the easiest target to pummel.  The party catches a couple of lucky breaks and one of the driders dies, making the last several round a game of whack the spider.

Triumphant, the band of adventurers enters a large cavern filled with whirring noises, metal boxes with blinking lights.  Giant glass tubes contain what look like pickled dwarves floating in a eerie green viscous liquid.  Lars cries out, "Finally!", when he sees the Emkrah bashing itself against some invisible barrier.  Two ESUs (that's Entropic Shadow Unchosen) are attacking the Emkrah, while on the other side of the barrier, five CTDs (Chaos-technology infused dwarf zombies), fire their last round of zero pistols shots at the Emkrah, which have no effect.

Three more cultists, though not in yellow robes, work in the background.  The humpback tiefling alchemist yells to the back of the cavern, "Master!  They're here!".  An old cranky voice yells back, "Gah!  How am I supposed to work in these conditions?!?!".  The four armed associate, in a finely tailored gold and white suit, with a shiny mithral breastplate, calmly responded "Egor is right Zed.  The outsiders are also coming soon.  We must prepare to go."

Zed curses loudly from the back, with some loud bangs and thuds.  "OK, I'm shutting the reactor down.  Damn, I was so close this time."  Egor runs to several lab tables with alchemical equipment on them and starts sweeping everything into his portable hole."  The party reacts and starts attacking the ESUs to clear them away from the Emkrah.  Lars stashes the potion on Eddies now broken body, "It's time buddy, it's almost over."  Eddie smiles, mentally broken as well after days of being tended to by the undead ettin, not really aware of what is going on.
