Actual Play

After some time off to heal, they came back to F and expored, leading to 17 and the goblins. 6 goblins, 3 HP each and a 25 HP ogre. (And them without the fireball scroll they'd been hoarding to take care of the ogre!) They don't have any problems, though, and the ogre falls. They search around and find the secret door, and stab his bearskin rug! They find all his booty and return to town.

They come back to the Caves of Chaos and attempt H, the bugbear lair. They follow the east corridor to 38, where they use sleep to put down some of the bugbears.
