- Dinuru appears from the shadows at the door the party was trying to reach the previous night. The party does not yet recognize him.

- Gurthank gets up and cuts a rat in half.
- Wyren having been in an intense state of prayer, reacts to the appearance of the rats, by slicing down with intense and righteous indignation (crit). His sword connects so hard with the rat, that it explodes, sending its claws and teeth flying into the adjacent rat, wounding it.
- Redrach, still on the ground, grabs the corpse of the rat which Dinnuru killed. After standing up with the rat in hand, heaves the rat's corpse at the recently wounded rat next to Wyren, smashing into the rat so hard that it kills it. The rat dies having never taken direct damage from a member of the party, instead dying to the damage inflicted by the bodies of its comrades.
- Dinnuru reveals himself to the party after emerging from the shadows. -The party waits while Dinnuru disables the trap on the ledge, allowing the party to safely jump up to the ledge. The party pulls up Gurthank and Wyren using a rope.
- In the next room Redrach spots a crack in the wall. He investigates and finds what appears to be a hole for a switch. Feeling lucky, he puts his hand in and pulls a lever. A spike comes shooting out at his hand with the same speed that he pulls it out.
- The party ventures into the next room, everything is even darker now. Gurthank holds the party's lantern.
- Three ancient looking skeletons in front of the party rise from the ground, fire igniting in their eyes. They leap out to attack the party.

- With an incredible critical shot of amazingness, Dinnuru hits the dragon and embeds the tip of his arrow into it’s stomach, shattering the shaft and causing the monster to let out a scream that makes Redrach cower. The dragon bursts through one of the adjecent doors and takes off.
- In a fit of rage, Redrach approaches Dinnuru and starts a fight. With some grabbing and shaking and a missed kick they fight for a bit. Wyren failed to cast a sanctuary spell on Redrach to calm him down. In the end Wyren, gets fed up with their fighting and walks into an unknown room by himself.
