Tree, no problem or hard feelings if you wish to drop out of the game.
Also, if anyone else feels like they would want to drop out of the game, please feel free to do so. I will understand.
For everyone:
I will continue to run my game the same way I always do. I don't play C&C strictly by the rules and have attempted to post as many house rules as I can recall.
I haven't seen or played every situation, so sometimes a house rule or special ruling may occur.
And it's true that I sometimes don't understand or misinterpret certain rules or spells, but thanks to you guys, I think we mostly get it right.
I know I also run this online game way looser than I would run a face to face game.
Anyway, rest assured that your character will not die, if I screw something up or make some special calls during the game.
Feel free to PM me or post any comments.
Thanks to a great bunch of players!!

CZ Session XXVI ~ “Exploring the Deep Cellars!”.
The adventurers being of good heart and character, led by the noble Backar agreed to lead the prince and princess out of the dungeon. The party learns that these siblings are the grandchildren of the Empress Prizmyra.
The PCs successfully escort the royal grandchildren out of the dungeon through Wily Wil’s cave and turn them over to Artemis and his party. He will bring them to Sir Alec’s castle.
The group then returns to the 2nd level of the Castle Zagyg dungeon to the area where they freed the prisoners. They recall their earlier efforts to investigate the northwest slanted wall for a door. One is indeed found and the PCs enter a room of hobgoblins who are very large and fierce warriors. Your legend lore and history knowledge tell you that these hobs are followers of Unklar and are hoping for his return from the void. A lively battle ensues, but the PCs defeat the hobs and the PCs search the hobs on room, but find very little of value.
End session.
XP = 279
The Players:
Aramis played the dwarven wizard/cleric known throughout the world as Snorri Ironbeard.
Jaybird played Snizzlebottom, the most serious gnomish rogue/illusionist.
Aergraith as Darby of Scragwick human wizard.
Rigon was the fierce and noble warrior, Dhorric.
Treebore was Backar, the mighty half-giant knight.
Arrowhawk as Bruno the brave half-giant fighter.

CZ Session XXVII ~ “Hobgoblins of Aihrde!”.
The adventuring party decides to make their way east through the large room with the star chiseled into the floor and continue further east and then north. As they did so, arrows rang out and the PCs sustained some damage from an arrow trap in the wall. They then check the door to the north and enter a room with many large hobgoblins present. The hobs attack and the PCs engaged them. After a tough battle, the party defeats the mighty hobgoblins.
Just as they finish, they are then surprised by 2 rust monsters that come up upon them from behind. Some damage is done, with the heavily armored fighters realizing that they need to move out of harm’s way. A good battle occurs, with the PCs doing substantial damage with various weapons that are not metal, except for Dhorric who uses his magic spears to good success.
The rust monsters are defeated and the group finds a secret door at the top of the room that heads further east. They follow the corridor and find a hallway going south that ends after about 70 ft. A secret door is discovered with a spiral staircase that goes down. The PCs elect to not continue down, but instead they go back north and then east again.
They go east through a large but empty dungeon room to find a corridor that continues southwest. As they cautiously move down the hallway, they discover a secret door. After opening the door, they see that there is a stairway that goes up some 10 feet or so. The group find a chest with dwarvish runes on it, and after checking for traps Snorri is summoned to open the chest. He does so and finds a mace of disruption.
End session.
XP = 388

is a most excellent fellow!!
Aergraith, next session (this Sunday eve) I would like to retro game play your character to have visited the south tower of CZ prior to finding the adventuring party. They were there and what happened there was passed on the Artemis the ranger scout. He would have advised you to go there first, before descending into the dungeon.
I'll repost the session notes so you can get an idea of what occurred and I'll find in any other pertinent details at game time.

Rhuvein wrote:Session III (Part 2) - Wheel of Fortune.
After learning that there are humans in the hexagonal south tower, you decide to go there before entering the castle to see if you can gather any more information about the castle itself and some of the other smaller wall towers around the courtyard. At the door, you are greeted and welcomed by Marie and Karl – 2 gypsies that invite you in. They tell you they have been expecting you.
The party enters the parlor and everyone sits down to enjoy some ale, butterbeers and fireamber. At this time,
Iuliana comes down the staircase followed by 2 other women. All are lovely, graceful and have an air of a upper class upbringing.
Iuliana tells you she and her twin sisters (
Stefania and
Violetta) are the daughters of
Count Vladimir Tepescu and the
Countess Simone de Bouvoir. They are from the city of Brasov at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania. The Count is an ambassador from his country of Romanian. The family have taken residence here, so the Count can visit Ascalon to meet the
Empress Prizmyra and then travel to Yggsburgh to meet the Lord Mayor.
At first, some of the party members are hesitant and perhaps suspicious of this family and think of vampires and garlic, but soon they realize that these lovely women are bored and happy to have a visit from a brave adventuring party. Further discussions ensue and the party is invited to stay for dinner and drinks.
The group accepts the invitation and all get ready for dinner. Each of the girls takes a sit with the adventurers sitting on either sides of them. Karl, Marie and her mother
Ezmina join you as well as Marie’s son and daughter – Pieter and Sonja.
After dinner ~ brandy, cigars and pastries are served at couches and comfy chairs near the fireplace. Iuliana asks if anyone would be interested in a fate/fortune card session with the lady Ezmina who is a mystic and fortune teller.
All are interested and cards are drawn and special abilities are conferred by Ezmina after communing with the mystic spirits and she touches each adventurer and they are imbued with said powers.
Ezmina then pulls out a polyhedral dice that is 20 sided and asks each adventurer to roll it one time. The young ladies watch each roll with excitement. Much laughter and frivolity ensue and everyone is enjoying the impromptu dinner party.
Since it is late into the evening the party decides to spend the night in the tower as guests of the Count’s family rather than attempting to cross the courtyard and head back to the faerie glade.
A pleasant evening and night is had by all and the party arises early the next morning for breakfast and to give thanks and say goodbye to the lovely girls.

Hey Rhu! I'm not breaking up with you, but I need to sit out tonight. Sick as a dog and I'm looking forward to a nice NyQuil induced coma here in a minute. Feel free to run Snizz blindly down corridors (just like I play him anyway). Sorry, Mandingo.

CZ Session XXVIII ~ “Man, it’s stone cold in this dungeon!”.
After finding the secret upstairs room, the party continues in an eastward direction and then south. They encounter another giant copper python. This one is larger than the one they found in the copper basket room of dungeon level 1. A furious battle takes place and the PCs, using good fighting tactics – defeat the very large and powerful snake!
The adventurers go further south and then turn back west, only to discover a rather huge stone statue blocking the corridor. It does not respond to discussion from the party, nor does it move or react in any way. Until . . . Bruno approaches and then it animates, and strikes a combat ready pose.
The group decides to engage the very large stone statue and sustains massive damage to 2 party members. The remaining adventurers move quickly to pull their dying comrades away from the death dealing stone golem. Bruno heals and the group continue to battle with the stone monster, who continues to do heavy damage. Snorri gives the mace of disruption to Bruno, who uses it to good effect. Bruno tries for a killing blow but the golem seems too powerful. Ultimately, Bruno’s persistence pays off and he finally shatters the stone golem.
End session.

No hurries - I just got home from work and threw a pizza in the oven.
So perhaps a 10 minute or so delayed for tonight's game.
