The Wedding Crashers have discovered the slavers lair - rooms full of cages containing distressed and dishevelled looking people of all races, colours, ages and sexes. They've also successfully dispatched a number of Orc guards without raising alarms!

But now Womac and Grogg have wandered off down a corridor and are arguing over who gets to open it. However, when Grogg finally gets bored with the argument and pulls it open a strange thing happens - the floor falls away to become a sharp and smooth slide - with both men sliding to whatever fate lay at the bottom waiting for them.

This was how the group stumbled upon the lairs management team - a couple of spellcasters, a number of Orc guards including a half-orc captain and a slippery Gnome. The gnome escaped but the rest of the enemies were dispatched by a combination of fire and brute force. However in the chaos a large amount of information was also destroyed!

Exiting by a rear underground entrance the group moved off into the forest behind the temple to rest, recuperate and review all that they knew up until now. A report to Bray did nothing to help the situation either giving more questions than answers as the Crashers suddenly became aware that they might be further mixed up in a game of politics than they thought.

The following morning they moved back into the temple to clear out any remaining baddies and to have a thorough search for a missing chest. Moving down into the bowels they discovered an area where there must have been Orcs living and more slaves now looking dishevelled and hungry! Finally they found another way up into the temple above and climbed into a new area where they hadn't been before.

The group entered into a huge collapsed hall strewn with rock, dust, broken statues and smashed columns. Just to be confronted by a slow moving, browny-grey and large lizard with 6 legs.

Womac was the first to react and moved to the lizards left whilst Edge just behind him moved to the right in a flanking maneauvre  but as the group were getting themselves into position the hard stare from the lizards dazzling green eyes turned Womac into a stone statue!! Immediately realising that they were all in grave danger now the urgency to kill the beast was increased and it died before it could harden anymore characters - this didn't come in time to save Womac though who stood there frozen in an attacking stance!

After some discussion it was concluded impossible to do anything with the statue of Womac except maybe paint a smiley face on him so the group moved on to explore any remaining rooms and corridors - discovering a stables and a curious courtyard of dead or maybe undead vegetation surrounding an old mausoleum!

Moving out of the temple through the stable door around to the front of the building they found a group from the Kaliff of Sundaria seeking to buy slaves and some quick thinking by Edge put the Kaliff's man at ease.

The group quickly sorted some slaves for the Kaliffs right-hand man to take with him and a deal was struck - a dozen slaves sold and a handful of gems received with compliments.

So that's the super fast-forward, catchy-uppy bit finished with only a few things to resolve.

Where next?

What now for Womac?

Is a move into the slavery market the direction to take?

Who is likely to be at the Brothers Grimm in 3 and a half days time?

And finally, the politics. Who is pulling the strings and what is in it for the Wedding Crashers?

Why is Andreais still sniffing about?
