Summary:
The second level of the Keep of Koralgesh is breached.
I. A Fresh Start
A rested group of adventurers follow the map to the stairs leading up to the second level. After a bit of exploring they find a chapel to Kor with a statue of the immortal holding Kor's Silver Chalice in its cupped palms. A large brass bowl lies on the altar filled with clear sweet water. When the cup is lifted from the palms of Kor by Spamatino, the statue speaks "may the blessings of Kor be upon you." Drinking the water refreshes the drinker.
II. Coral Crabs
In a museum-like room Marrieth takes some scrimshaw from a glass cabinet. As she does so two huge coral statues of crabs come to life and attack. Stew, Spardeep, and K-k-ken are all cut to ribbons by the crabs until Marrieth is incapacitated, at which point they freeze. Tim collects the scrimshaw from her satchel and the crabs come to life again, killing Spamatino. Finally the adventurers whittle down the statues until they crumble. The water from the Kor chapel restores Marrieth's health.
III. The Ogre's Lair
The group discovers the sleeping quarters of an ogre, though the monster is nowhere to be found, and abscond with his treasure.
IV. The Crawler.
