Questing
The group tries to decide their next move.
Book reveals that there are signs of an otyugh down below building 7C and reminds everyone about the owlbear or owlbears in the hole in the stables. Book and
investigate the large sinkhole and Book determines that it is just a natural sinkhole. The group decides to collapse the stables on top of the small hole so that if the owlbears try to come up, they'll have to dig their way out. Then, the group will rest in 7B.
consults her circlet to see if this is a good plan.
's circlet glows and she has a vision of a herd of antelope running into a deep ravine and dying. She reveals this to the group.
hypothesizes that this may mean that everyone in the party will be fine. She then continues to hypothesize about the consequences of collapsing a building and how that might attract all of the owlbears at once. 
Merry says we should camp in the officer's quarters and set the dogs on watch. The group decided not to collapse the stables in.

The party descends through the trap door, with
going first. Merry decides to leave his dog at the top of the trap door. Merry descends down the trap door next and pulls out his sun rod. The rest of the group follows. Book says that the "signs of otyugh" are stronger straight ahead. The party slowly creeps forward into the room until they encounter... an otyugh!
Otyugh Battle!

shoots it in the eye for 6 damage.
summons a medium viper!
cheers
and
on into battle.
cleaves the otyugh in half and it dies.
Exploring the Underground Caverns
The group searches the cells, but finds nothing more than scratches on the walls, so they continue on through the door to the West. There are two tunnels that have been dug through the stone walls to the North and West that look not too old and very well used. Book searches the room and finds a secret door! It leads into a secret torture room that hasn't been used in generations. Hey, this would be a great camping spot!
The group goes back to the East and takes the Eastern-most path, where they encounter an archway with a kneeling figure above it. Book and Merry agree that it's religious, but otherwise have no idea what it is. The hallway beyond is dusty and the mortar between the bricks is crumbling.
The party continues on but

successfully moves the rocks out of the way. Merry compliments his physical prowess. This area looks pretty old.
They continue along until they reach a huge room with a statue of a crone and various warriors and the like worshiping it. There are coffins in the room as well as gear, skeletons, etc.
None of the party wants to go, with the exception of Merry, into the room because there are many macabre items within it. Merry argues that he has read stories about this room and really wants to go into it but the rest of the party does not.

The find some leather & hide armor that is basically unwearable as well as rusted chainmail, chipped and shattered blades, metal fragments, shards of wood, and 10 still-usable handaxe blades. There are also some otyugh tracks.

The Scary Room of Scary Things

Merry starts his oratory to inspire courage in the party. He tells
that he hopes they live through this, then walks up and kneels in front of the statue.
