Well, it was just me and Ray. Bob did show up for the last hour or so. Adventure was the clearing out of the caves below the monastery. Mission was successful and none of the NPC's died, though it was very close a couple of times. There was one room I couldn't figure out so I skipped it. It had a faint aura of evil, was totally dark (no light sources worked) and had some old bones and leather in the center of the room.

Bob, showed up in time for my encounter with the VERY large Red Dragon. Made the one we killed before look like a kitten. I very wisely decided to talk (after half my party ran away) and answered all questions truthfully. If I hadn't I'd be dead of course. Bob can fill you in on the finer details after his character joined the party. This is obviously where Ray deviated from the module he was using for the caverns and wrapped it into the ongoing campaign. The dragon is the daughter of one of the champions and will take up the mantle of the father to defend the island. I had missed that whole thread to the story. The next game is in two weeks but I will be house sitting, so no me.
