June 10: Fighting some pathetic Goblins, Darkmoon breaks yet another magic two-handed sword.
June 13: Vainamoinen raised by the Svirfneblin [and somehow has his hands reattached] and rejoins.
June 14: Battle Giant Lizards, and then a lot of Trolls. Party ambushed by 7 Ghasts; Vainamoinen and Snagger killed. Party retreats, nearly everyone in bad shape.
June 16: Bury Vainamoinen and Snagger.
June 17: Go back to Troll caves, battle more Trolls. Taro kills 4 Trolls in 3 rounds; does 240 points of damage in one round. But Arlephone killed.
June 18: Kill the last of the Trolls. Meet two other explorers: Griswald (F4) and Aischylos (R3) join.
June 19: Defeat 44 Troglodytes with little difficulty. With most of the Party either in need of training or dead, the Party decides to exit.
June 26: Make it to surface, walk to Milborne. Oðúlfr rejoins, having completed his training. Aithra decides to hire Aischylos as a henchling. Decide to keep Vainamoinen and Snagger dead, but look into having Arlephone resurrected; have to wait for a high-level Cleric to return, around July 22.
Training (to July 16): Aelyina, Taz, BigPig
July 15: Amid a growing division within the Party between Good and Evil characters (most notably Taz and Aelyina), Darkmoon steals from Aithra a finger of Arlephone; she and Aelyina take all of Arlephone's gear and share of the loot, and flee the Party on Aelyina's new Broom of Flying: Darkmoon and Aelyina leave. Among other things, they hope to have Arlephone resurrected before the rest of the Party can do so, and recruit her into a new party separate from the rest.
