We entered a room that had a lot of goblin drawings on the wall. depicting a large cave beneath the fort in which there was a goblin drawn as if it would be 30 ft tall if it was to scale. Large hall looking like another evil temple. Large monstrous statue of mother of all monsters with glowing frost and fire. Lots of pillars. Monster dogs. Nathaniel stepped into the room attacking one of the dogs. Honeypot followed him in and further attacking another. The strange looking dogs melted into shadows and appeared at new locations attacking from directions you wouldn't expect. I threw my dagger into the one Nathaniel had wounded deeply hoping to kill it, but my dagger barely hurt it. I retreated back into the corridor we came and hid. Suddenly one appeared right in front of me and attacked me. It's <claws?> cut deep and I counterattacked stabbing it slightly. Then it disappeared. I ran back to the entrance into the room and threw the dagger once again but missed. As the dagger appeared in my hand again I threw it once more but missed, again. I retreated and hid to sneak up and attack but miss yet another time. Luckily the other had not been as inaccurate as I. The bodies of the dogs disappeared and when Nathaniel was to wipe the blood of his sword, it was clean.

There was an altar at the furthest part of the temple that was raised higher than the rest of the room. The statue stood behind the altar. I thought we should make sure the temple was destroyed, but thinking about how hard it was to get father Zantus to go into the tunnels below Sandpoint, even with us guarding him, it would probably be near impossible to get him here through goblin infested woods. I suggested that we, or rather someone bigger and stronger than me, would smash parts of the statue, but Velicia didn't want to destroy it. She said it would be better to decorate it with flowers and ribbons. I was skeptical. If the evil ones returned they would just brush it off and have their evil worshiping place back.

After a well needed rest we continued to the next room from the raised part of the temple. It turned out to be a torture chamber. There were cells and even an iron maiden. We checked it but thankfully it was empty.

Next room we hear noise. Nathaniel open door and I throw my dagger at a cheer-goblin From far in the back a strange looking goblin halfbreed, probably Bruthazmus comes running past us. It disappears in the shadows. I retreat into the torture chamber and hide Charge back out flipping through the corridor, but miss, miss. It move I stab Honeypot moved in behind it and I somersaulted up to it burying my dagger deep into its gut using my legs for strength, rolling away to avoid the blood that gushed from the wound as it fell to the ground. I felt pretty good having just killed two leaders of goblin tribes in one day. It wasn't by myself but I am still pretty proud.

Then we went to check the stairs he had been heading for. They led up. At the end there was a door but it was blocked from the other side. Dorothea told us that there were someone at the stairs we had blocked and we told her that it was us.
