July 2nd and 3rd

After taking out that damn [[Super Mummy]] we decide that since everyone is currently unwounded we should try to take care of the ungodly number of undead that lie waiting in another part of the dungeon. We go and dispel the Wall of Stone that keeps them in their unholy dance hall, and them summon up some monsters (crocodiles and hell hounds are the order of the day). A big fight ensues, and we trounce a bunch of shadows, ghouls, ghasts, countless skeletons, and a wight. We use a burning Wall of Thorns to cut the undead in two groups, and the first group falls easily. Those inside the wall are toast. We foolishly decide to wait for the wall to burn  out, and then face the second wave. This proves more difficult, and everyone ends up at a negative. We learn the source of the humming noise as a monkey-like being made of coral or some other stone-like substance in a honeycomb matrix comes at us, humming away. He takes out [[Saiiq]] while the rest of us run like hell. [[Harald]] fights a rearguard action, and narrowly saves [[Afaf]] from a shadow, while barely avoiding permanent injury and likely undeath. [[Saiiq]] gets taken off by the honeycomb monster. [[Ailyll]] turns into a small bird and goes to see what has become of him. She sees the honeycomb monster covering [[Saiiq]] in coral, and she manages to distract the monster long enough for [[Saiiq]] to break free. His heart doesn't explode, and he climbs a shaft into a small room. [[Ailyll]] outpaces the monster, and returns to the party. [[Harald]] gives her a note and some [[:Category:Priest|priest]] scrolls to take to [[Saiiq]], just in case the honeycomb monster comes after him. Luckily it does not.

Everyone except [[Saiiq]] leaves the dungeon to heal up in order to perform a rescue mission. We realize that only [[Saiiq]] can cure [[Ailyll]] and [[Agav|Agav's]] mummy rot, so [[Harald]] and [[Adel]] go into the dungeon at low single digits. [[Daab]] is hanging around, and he acts a little suspiciously, talking to [[Harald]] and [[Adel]] before they reenter the dungeon. Though the two have Mirror Images [[Daab]] makes a cryptic comment, saying "You're not fooling anyone.". They blast the few remaining undead into pieces with Lightning Bolts, but the honeycomb monster gets away. [[Saiiq]] is rescued, and he promptly heals everyone's rot. He also found a dead [[:Category:Priest|priest]] in his hidey-hole, from whom he has recovered a magical robe and some magic incense, as well as a silver mace. We discover that [[Daab]] may have stolen [[Harald|Harald's]] spellbook, and decide to do something about that when we've healed up.
