Darek was rambling about something silly like getting a Balron Jaw with which to fashion a new door handle, and something about how recruits dont die enough, so he decided that he was going to fix both of these problems at once. At this point I tried to escape by changing myself into a chicken, but the spell malfunctioned and instead I teleported myself into line.
It was most distressing.
Next thing I knew, we were going toe to toe with a Balron! We killed one, and then another one appeared. This time we werent so lucky, and it beat the crap out of
all of us everyone except me. However, I dropped my reagent bag! So, while everyone else skirmished with the Balron like sissies, I grabbed my trusty piece of wood (formerly the Company parade arm) and began savagely beating an imp.
Upon the imp's demise, I liberated a simple axe and a scroll of healing from it and, after healing the minor injuries incurred in my epic struggle against the imp, was overcome by a sudden feeling of awesomeness.
I promptly hacked off one of the Balron's toes.
Aylmer returned with a spare pouchfull of reageants, and, using my awesome powers of the arcane, I (with the help of Bersi and Tommy) vanquished the Balron with three simple words of power; Kal Vas Flam. Victory was ours. Recruits had died, and Darek had a new doorhandle! We decided to head deeper into the dungeon.
It was at this point that a golden blood elemental set upon us, overpowered us, and stole all of our belongings. We got spare armor and weapons, but it took those too. It even took my leggings and boots. We cut up our kilts to provide extra bandages for Buttons. But it was to no avail - we were unable to vanquish the golden-blooded foe.
We only got around 10,000 gold. The elemental took the rest. It all went to the coffers.
