Day 1 - To Feed a Fish

Twelve dead in the party, five joined earlier.

After taking stock of the situation and getting ready, we left the pool and headed towards the door.

Old man farmer is a bold one, he opened the door and was confronted by a skeleton. And we're back to fighting.
We destroyed eight skeletons but not without loss. One of the monster men got wrapped up by one of the skeletons wicked chains. We rushed to his aid but as we killed the skeleton he jerked the chain and ended the armadillo man's life.

Outside the pool room we entered a large hallway with three different ways to go. We found some torches and candles and those chains and passed them out among ourselves.
While we're doing this the old farmer man goes off again, this time throwing some of his food off down the hallway. I don't know if he was trying to ditch the hen because he threw the food awful far. Waste of food.

So, we all walk down between the arches because we see a shimmer in the distance and we find a slow moving underground river.
It sparkles mighty fierce and we can see thousands of crawfish and one of us swears they saw something big move under, deep.
Something deep in the water? So what's the Halfling do? he rigs a pole with some chicken and makes a fishing pole. Funniest death of all. Fool must have had it coming. He was dangling it in the water and a gigantic fish comes surging out of the water and pulls him in. Before we know what's happening the water gushes red with his blood and he doesn't come back up.

Across that river we can see some building remains and we all want to go see, but after seeing that big river fish a couple of the lads just aren't sure, but a couple of them grab a bronze brazier next to the arch and toss it into the river like a boat and then paddle across. We can see them but they don't tell us nothing. Then they're paddling back to us. And that's when the fish strikes. He rocks the brazier and knocks two guys into the water.
We'd already seen what that fish had done for the halfling, but that fish didn't strike for a whole minute and then one of the boys got pulled under and didn't come back up.

Well, just be smart. Some guys are dying, but some are already getting riches.
