Tonight, our party finished exploring the cave. The first thing they encountered was just about the worst clown ever. Like the scariest, most invincible clown in the whole world. Really awful. It had nearly impenetrable damage reduction and good spell resistance (although there was no offensive caster available). However, after inflicting Eulogic with Tasha's Hideous Laughter and then draining his happiness, his guard lowered and the party was able to finish him off (although Eu was inflicted with laughter again). Another evil orb on an altar was destroyed.
Next, three skeletons charged the party down a hallway. One was destroyed and Red turned the other two. Pursuing the fleeing skeletons, the party encountered a lunatic knight with a halberd. He was a fairly ineffective combatant, and the party knocked him unconscious, bound him, and took him back to town where he will presumably spend the rest of his life in a constant barbarian rage, but locked up in a prison.
Returning to the cave the next morning, the party found all the evil altars repaired. They began demolishing them again one by one when a gelatinous cube attacked the party. Despite Red's advice to stay back, Eu charged the beast followed by Fox. The ooze enveloped them. Fox broke free and Eu wrecked havoc from within and soon the monster perished in a pile of blueberry jello.
Exploring a secret passage that the party found earlier, our heroes were assaulted by an owlbear skeleton. The ferocious beast put everyone in extreme danger, but it was eventually dispatched. Continuing down the hidden hallway, the party found the source of the taint, an evil elven necromancer. Although physically weak (and eventually, really really weak), he cast a powerful protective spell that hindered those trying to attack, and frightened Eulogic, who had been able to break through the spell. However, Red broke through the spell and annihilated the fiend with a mighty blow.
