Wading down the bloody staircase the party reached a lower landing and peered out into the darkness. Those whom were not deaf heard the echoing sounds of many footsteps splashing toward them in a very large room. Julian, casted light on a number of arrows as Samael shot them into the four corners of this vast flooded swimming area. Charging forth the party saw 2 Unfurled Giants, a Cave Troll, and an Ogre each wearing as armor a number of Deep Gnome prisoners. In front of these monstrous creatures were 8 humanoid spearman with mirrory eyes.Samael did not hesitate to shoot down nearly all of the spearman as the waded forward with the last of his scavenged shortbow arrows. Cael and Grim casted magic missiles at the large monsters and damaged them without harming their Deep Gnome prisoners. Balin called lightning down upon one of the Unfurled Giants nearly killing one of the Gnomes as they cried for help. Grim was enervated yet again by a black ray from afar. Julian used his arcane sight to find the mysterious spellcaster and then casted a fiery spell at him but it fizzled. Cael continued to smash into the Ogre with his dwarven rune brick.
Just as the battle began to turn in the party's favor 4 Young Mindflayers flew in from above and began to wrap the party in their tentacles. Cael and Grim grappled with one as it attempted to feed. The party defensively stands in desperate battle against the Mindflayers at the entrance to massive flooded swimming arena.
