Unexpected Allies

Moments after you dispatch the trog threat in the natural cavern, the party marches south and discovers a wayward hobbit warrior named Mero and a large group of down-on-their-luck orc slaves who have also escaped their bugbear and giant captors. The orcs are in rough shape and are led by Gramlong.

After some successful negotiation, the orc leader agrees to send along a dozen of his brethren with the party. The party then explores the dungeon more deeply, discovering a weird abandoned temple, which proves to be a freaky, ancient and profane affair.

In this same eerie place, the group discovers an unholy font...

The intrepid (and already cursed) Lo collects its mystic waters in a flask…

Intent on completing their mission, the group pushes on, past a barrier of boulders, and into the hands of welcoming bugbears who put up little resistance.

Maps

You are in room #5. Note that I have assumed that Mero has shared some basic details of where he came from with the party - hence the marshaling room is shown here.
Here's the upstairs. Again, Mero shares some details about the kitchen area and storeroom where he found stairs leading to the dungeon level.


Booty!
