Karuna was at the LEG headquarters as a Finely Clothed gentleman was discussing the surroundings of a portal. LEG Headquarters had not gotten any records of such an area and in thus could not happen. Meanwhile Ankh entered the headquarters and struck up conversation. After an awkward exchange they spoke with the gentleman and got a bit more info.

After that discussion they felt it would be unwise to travel alone and thus made there way to the Inn of Infinite Doors. There they encounters the Dragon's Star native trio and enlisted the help of BOB for his healing and Balasar as a tank. As they left the Inn they were joined by Corevuse.

The party, seeing as they had to walk, desided to avoid Grasping Grove and instead passed through Stomping Ground. Upon arival they were greeted by a wide expanse of grassy hills with trees and a slightly larger hill with an entrance to a cave.

The party entered the cave and were promptly greeted by a bunch of bones, a wall covered with bioluminescent lichen and a not so honest statue of a dwarf. After a quick sweep of the room they encountered a swarm of insects and dispatched them just as quickly. After some questions they discovered a hidden door. And could hear a cat, seeing it only as it made its way under the door in a small opening.

Following the same path the party is greeted by a living dwarf who stubbornly refuses to leave the "safety" of his room and a few pixies. One claimed to be the leader of the pixies and informed the party that other pixies in the area are "generally" harmless. The dwarf and pixie give a few details of the other creatures and the party makes there way along.

As they explore the area they encounter a couple of "tree-people" that spoke a language none of the group understood and attacked the party. Unfortunately the party was quick and smart and turned the beings into small bonfires. Pressing on they discover the next room had a group of Weasels and Ankh convinced them that the party was not a threat. Karuna went ahead and found the cat in a corridor. With a common gesture he won over the affection of the cat and thus the (temporary?) allegiance of the weasels.

The group moved on to the next room where they found a out-dated but still good coat from a set of Fine Clothes. Beyond that they discovered the "Ugly Greens" were a couple of Hags that were making a mixture in a cauldron. The party blocked them in and Maple just barely avoided a charging Balasar as he rammed into one of the hags. The party proceeded to Fireball Frenzy the room but just as the last one reached the end of its life Balasar had it pinned to the wall as Karuna promptly knocked it out.

Karuna then proceeded to tie the hag up while Corevuse convinced the weasels to join forces and wear the coat.... You've heard of 3 Kobalds in a trench coat... Well this is 6 weasels in a Tux Coat.

And with that part 1 of this journey reached it's end.

What will happen next?

Who will they meet in the next room?

Will the dwarf ever leave his room?

I guess we'll find out in CHAOTIC CHAOS PART 2!
