SUMMARY
House Leaks and Zombie Resurrection
In the meeting, the participants discussed their experiences with house leaks and the challenges they faced during heavy rainstorms. They also discussed the possibility of reviving a character who had been turned into a zombie in a role-playing game. The group consulted various sources, including the Monster Manual, to determine if a character could be revived after being turned into a zombie. They concluded that powerful magic, such as a resurrection spell, would be required to bring the character back to life. The group also discussed the potential consequences of reviving a character who had been a zombie, suggesting that they might not be fully restored to their original state.
Exploring Cave System and Clues
In the meeting, the team discussed their exploration of a cave system, encountering various obstacles and creatures. They navigated through windy tunnels, spider webs, and a drider, with Lauresh providing guidance. The team also discovered a poem on the wall, which seemed to be a clue to their mission. They decided to backtrack and continue their journey, with Ceol planning to investigate the possessions of the bodies in the dungeon area for any clues related to Auburn Dar. The team also discussed the undead creature they were carrying, with Jitters planning to dispose of it soon.
Disposing of Avrandar Bodies and Gildax
In the meeting, Ceol and Mira discussed their plan to dispose of the bodies of Avrandar in the forge, with Mira suggesting they could stack them up in silk. They also discussed the suspicious behavior of Gildax, who seemed to be hiding something.

The team decided to leave the fortress, with Ceol promising to kill any drogues they encounter.

Exploring Dungeon, Overcoming Obstacles, and Discoveries

They encountered various obstacles, including a locked door that required a 10-minute ritual to unlock, and a portal that required feeding a dragon 100 gold pieces to open. They also discovered a portal that led to a room with a weathered backpack containing various items. The team also encountered invisible monkeys that appeared when they were close to the portal. The team decided to continue exploring the level, knowing that there must be a portal somewhere on this level.
Discovering Hidden Treasure and Loot
The group discovers a hidden treasure after defeating two demon apes called Balguras. Jitters uses detect magic to locate a slot in the wall, which reveals a chest containing valuable items when activated with a rusty sword. The treasure includes silver pieces, gems, bone dice, an obsidian bottle shaped like a wizard tower, a pearl necklace, and a shriveled elf's head containing a potion of water breathing. The party discusses distributing the loot and previously unassigned items. They also briefly reflect on who solved an earlier riddle, with some playful banter about claiming credit.
Next Steps and Level 6 Preparation

Before resting, Mira casts Locate Object to find another gate in the southwest corner of the map. They attempt to open a locked door but are unsuccessful due to magical protection. Jitters dismisses his zombie companion before the rest. The party considers choosing new spells during their long rest in preparation for what they might encounter on Level 6.

Exploring the Cavern and Searching Dagger
The team navigated through an icy cavern, encountering a stone giant and a floating dollhouse castle. They discovered a large chamber with a 90-foot drop and a passage leading to a sandy room, which turned out to be quicksand. The team decided to perform a detect magic ritual to locate a blue dagger with an opal, which was believed to be in the area. They also encountered a stone giant searching for something, but it didn't seem to be aware of their presence. The team decided to continue exploring the cavern, keeping an eye out for the dagger and avoiding the stone giant.
Exploring Caverns and Uncovering Puzzles
