Rudolpho, Rudolpho, wherefore art thou Rudolpho...
Rudolpho gets lost in Farshore, probably on a drinking binge, as the party returns to the fiendish oyster pond in the lower level of the temple. The party finds an underwater entrance to the temple and more underwater passages.
Daria sets out bravely treading through many waterfilled passages, only to be assaulted by a green slime. Quickly overcoming that predator, the party continues through the maze of passages in the lower level of the temple. Exploring a few side passage, disturbs an ochre jelly and the party quickly fights a tactical retreat until Hjalmgerdr and Ortho weaken the creature with various spells. Vin remembers his mace and rounds it out by smacking the jelly too. The jelly is no match for the party and falls before anyone can be gobbled.
Daria discovers a porcullis with a few torture tables behind it. With a combined effort the party cranks the porcullis open and search the room. Three elven victims are on tables, with only one being alive. Failing to detect any evil, Vin lays on hands. The elf maiden asks Vin to identify himself, and Vin tells the tale of the party's call to the island and now pursuit of the evil on taboo island. Vin gets a little twitchy when better light reveals that she is a sea elf. The elf maiden introduces herself as Nualla and says that she was party of an expedition of elves that were looking for Noltus Innersol. One of the deceased elves was a Pelorian cleric. Partially equipped and healed by Hjalmgerdr, Nualla wishes to continue with the party, searching of Noltus Innersol.
As the exploration continues, the party discovers a boiling pool. With a bit of energy resistance help from Hjalmgerdr, Vin swims down into the boiling pool and discovers a passageway into a new section further under the temple. Not wanting to engage the kopru by himself, Vin returns to the party and they resume exploring the current section of the temple.
After a long passageway the party finds a long spiral stairway going down. At a landing there was a door that a mosaic that Daria suspects there is a special key that will open it. The party went to other side of the landing and continued down another spiral stairway. At the bottom a huge demon guardian appears and assaults the party. The combat is swift and terrible. Daria, frustrated by not having the benefits of invisibility, cuts her way into the gut of the nalfeshnee and emerges with its heart still stabbing it with her dagger.

When the lights go out... in the temple...
Daria tracks the escaped demon to the entrance to the taboo temple. After a quick recoup, Ortho makes the first hop with part of the party and the Hezuru has buddied up with another demon in cavernous opening to the island. The huge worm-like demon at the entrance bellows out blasphemy and wobbles the party. Combat ensues and the Hezrou is the first to fall, and Ortho returns with the rest of the party. The entrance guardian blackens the area and Ortho counters with the light of Pelor. Badly wounded the wastrilith demon teleports away.
The party reorganizes and proceeds into the temple. Daria "finds" the symbol trap and its deadly energy shoots through the party. Daria, Rudolpho, Nesta endure the effect but Vin and Gwendelyn succumb to the power and die. Hjalmgerdr revivifies Vin, and Gwen is bundled up to be returned to town.
The party finishes its exploration of the entrance level, and takes on of the stairways down. Passing a landing the party arrives in a large cave, two feet of water. Large fiendish oysters are apparently cultivated in this room. Rudy manages to pry on open with some help and the oyster shrieks while it yields its prize, a large black pearl.
Large kopru, alerted by the schrieks, emerge into the cavern and assault the party. After they are defeated the party extracts four more pearls from the big oysters.

XP Standings
Everyone is still 13th level. Rudy is 4700 experience points away from 14th level, so there is really no reason to ask until say February 28th or so...
Greasy, grimy, gopher guts...
The party returns to the Taboo Temple after taking refuge in the jungle to recoperate. Nesta spots a skinwalker guard inside the entrance that the party used the last time. Daria goes invisible and gets inside the entrance to find two more skinwalkers behind the hewn doors. Dropping a silenced stone, Daria move in a gives the ready signal by stabbing a skinwalker. The party allows Daria time to work, before moving in to the entrance to attack.
A skinwalker acolyte appears in time to greet Ortho, and Ortho starts the exchange. The temple defenders are further reinforced by a troop of armored monkeys. The party dispatches their foes after a bit of slugging it out. Daria and Rudy both splatter the guts of their opponents onto the ancient stone walls. The party makes its way into the temple and finds a room with a blood trail leading down to a large watery room.
Never missing a chance to bathe in brackish, putrid water, Rudy goes for a swim and finds three large Hezrou demons. In the 8-foot deep water, the party is assaulted by blasphemy, unholy bight, and the retched stench of the abyss. As the demons begin moving away, Hjalmgerder blasts one into pasty residue. The last demon teleports away before Rudy and Vin can close for the kill.
