11 and 1/3 days until the auction

The doors that were previously opened are now barricaded
The party goes North from the branch--there are goblins (4 of them)
They take surprisingly long to dispatch
The next room is a small storage room. There's nothing interesting there (putrid jerky and rancid ale), except five pints of oil. The party rolls it back into the previous room to keep it from exploding at an inopportune moment
The next room is rather large, with columns supporting the ceiling
- The room is hazy from acrid torch smoke (-1 to most actions)
They take the first door on the North
- Mad splits and tries to enter the other way, but he falls into a pit
- Erky hears it, the party helps him out. They find nothing else in the pit (not that they looked particularly hard)

The room northward

Some shitty taxidermy (cows, dire rats, whatever), and more notably, a chain spiked to the ground
- The chain, and several other things, are corroded
There's something scurrying around!
- Everyone stumbles around trying to catch sight of it
- They faill--it reveals itself with a line of acid breath!
- It's Calcryx, a tiny black wyrmling (!!!)
- In addition to acid breath [supposed to be every 1d4 rounds, according to the "Breath Weapon (Su)" entry here, but that was super-buried so it got missed], it has a bite and two claws
- Apt stuns it with piercing scream. Russ uses the opportunity to grapple the beast, and succeeds admirably
- Gokar ties it up with his reinforced scarf. The dragon immediately corrodes it to pieces
- Meepo screams that it should be subdued
- Edi closes the door to prevent escape when everyone is in
- Various damage is done. Russ consolidates the grapple into a pin
- Mad muzzles the wyrmling with string, nullifying its bite and breath
- The battle after this point is fairly straightforward. The dragon eventually escapes the grapple, but is too wounded to really bounce back, and it is knocked unconscious.

The Queen of the Dragons is quite please. She offers a prize--any two things on the alter before her, or the key behind her
- Those items: Two arcane scrolls, one divine, one token shaped like a tree.
- After some convincing, Yusdrayl offers the key, and will also sell any of her treasures for 50 gp
- The party takes the key
- Apt trades the jade figurine and 20 gp for the token

Ambushed by 2 dire rats!
- They are taken care of quickly
Door with a Dragon-kinda shape. The key opens it
- Orbs inside, all but one are cracked
- Gokar approaches the uncracked one. It begins to play a haunting melody
- Erky and Russ are possessed and begin walking back the way they came
- Mad gets in the way at the entrance to the main foyer, Russ starts beating the shit out of him. Apt gets the same from Erky
- A couple of lucky hits from Russ put Mad in trouble for a round, then Mad is healed with channel subdues Russ quickly
- Erky and Russ come out at the same time (but Russ is unconscious)
Solve the room by having Edi keep going in and just closing the door on him. Eventually, Edi succeeds his save, and muffles the orb

Apt sees a trap before it's stepped on. Unfortunately, his disable device roll is completely awful
- It's an arrow trap. If they were poisoned, they aren't any more after ~1400 years of disuse
Only Edi is hit

We come at night without being fetched
We disappear by day without being stolen

Mad says a couple of things ("stars", "dragons"), the door opens (later analysis shows "stars" is the word)
The door closes itself sixty seconds later. There are still people in the statue room to re-open it, so this is a non-issue
- Russ spikes the door open. Erky hangs back just to be sure

In the next room, several marble statues North, a pit West
In the wall on the south, there is a secret door. It hides a small room an unreadable inscription (nobody knows the language)
Mad jumps the pit, and is immediately bullrushed into it by a thing (bat-winged, spindly)
He climbs back up, sees it for real (it’s a Quasit, but nobody knowsit thanks to terrible rolls)
- Mad hulks out
The Quasit uses its cause fear ability, Russ is the only one affected (for one turn), he runs right back into the trap room and gets hit for full damage
- The Quasit uses invis to get behind edi, poisons him with attacks (it's a Dexterity poison)
Apt begins attacking, is able to use a Judgement to ignore Quasit’s DR
Mad jumps back across, starts beating
Russ gets hit a couple more times with arrows as he comes back to and starts his return
Erky maintains his position on the other side of the secret door. He does absolutely nothing for this fight (which is fine) (He declines his XP share)
The Quasit is eventually surrounded. Russ does some small damage and tanks a bunch of poison (shrugging it all off) as a result. Apt does some medium damage, Mad (as usual) does the majority.
After defeating it, the party rests in the area.
- Edi still has 5 dexterity damage, but all party members are free of disease and ability damage after the rest + heal check.
