Day 1, Breathe deep in the Pleasure Room

Twelve dead.

That slug room appears to have been a waste. We squished some slimes and got six white towels for our effort. Risk our lives for towels.

So, out the room we go and head north into another room. Here we found a collection of curious stoppered clay jars.

Best to be prepared, the clerics cast some spells to look for magic, but at exactly the same time Gilch ran up to a jar and popped the stopper off easy as you please. He immediately reaches inside and gives this face of pain and effort. I'm thinking the fool should have waited for the clerics to tell us if it's safe. Likely he'll lose that hand. But then out he pulls a bit of electrum. The grin on his face tells me he never once thought this was dangerous.

So, old man farmer goes up and fetches two jars and another warrior, Sigorn, grabs one. The farmer pulled out a piece of electrum from each jar, the other warrior popped open the jar and out spewed a vile green cloud. The smell quickly spreads over the room but it seems only those closest actually cough. Sigorn even grabbed his stomach in pain.

The cloud was growing bigger so we decided to run. As I turn around to flee I see one of the elves in our party push open a trick door. We all quickly enter within and hurry down the narrow hallway and out we come into another room where we see some once beautiful, yet now ragged tapestries hanging. We'll get a better look at the tapestries after a rest, but for now I need a break. That gas has me breathing rough. But the good news is, the tapestry room already has some riches that we've taken. Someone freed a silver rod from one of the tapestries.

I sat down near that chest making dwarf, a wise idea to keep an eye on him. He was already sitting down and going through his chest, taking inventory I guess. I hear him mutter faintly about caltrops, a dagger, hammer, bags, sort of mundane stuff, but he gets this look in his eyes and so I listened harder and I hear him clearly say, "Three hundred and fifteen silver pieces. I've done it." Scheming little Dwarf. The secret is out, now I know how much my cut is. I'm Hoping I'm not the only one seeing this, so I look around and I see a couple others nearby, pretending not to stare, but it's obvious they're watching the dwarf too, and a couple of them are grinning and licking their lips.
