Adventure 2 - Is this the end? For some already.

We've been crawling around this abyss for many hours now and not much to show for it. Some of the group began grumbling, foremost being Battlebeard, about only finding a little treasure and finding only a few villagers to rescue. They think that the rest have already been sacrificed to the tentacled monster and we're risking our lives over nothing more to be gained.
So, we had a divide. Half of them decided on going back to town and the other half decided to stay and continue on. Stostine, Battlebeard, Dalhi, Skel and Biff all decided to return to the others who are back in town. Stostine's ever faithful dog has gone with her, leaving Rose behind with us. Rose refused to go to safety with the others, insisting on searching for her childhood friends.
Of those who remain behind we have Kadelthin, Searos, Mort, Rocky, Brunn, Old Mac and Sigorn. Old Mac only barely stayed. He was really angry at Sigorn for spewing his sickness on Rose.

Sigorn decided it was a fine time to tell everyone that he has found a new calling in life. He wishes to be a cleric. He speaks of the god Amun Tor and his mysteries, as though mysteries explain mysteries. I was talking with the others and they tell me he's tried many professions and be mediocre at all of them. It's no surprise he's moving on from being a tough to being a cleric. We'll see, if we care to watch.

Now facing the sickening wall that is shaped like the tentacled monster, we descended down the central passage way and found ourselves in a hallway that branched off into three rooms.
In the first room we found one of those magical transportation patterns on the floor.
In the second room we were attacked by a yellow robed cultist, who we slew, but not before he viciously wounded Old Mac several times. This cultist actually carried a chest with him. Inside the chest we found clothing, some food and numerious stoppered vials. Kadelthin looked upon each of them and identified most of them to us. Some vials of blood, ash, salt and crushed flower petals. We could not identify the vials with a dark green content.
In the third room we found the giant tentacle with the rope transport system fastened to it.

We climbed along the tentacle and found ourselves in a very large room. These rooms have commonly held large groups of cultists and the owl-beasts, so we prepare carefully before we walk in.
