Episode 4 -- Entering the Mountain Dungeon

 <-- The session started with the party at the now opened entrance of a mountain gate house that is built into the mountain along the trail of blue lights.  --> The team entered the building.  They found themselves in a nicely furnished hallway library.  There were numerous papers that appeared blank.  The team explored the room for awhile.  Daumpney and perhaps others took some of the scrolls that were on undyed paper.  Mortimer took a couple scrolls that were on red or yellow paper.  There was a table with a magically suspended spinning globe that showed Astren as well as many lands and continents unknown to the team.  Many of those other lands were labeled with alphabets never before seen by the team members.  A paper on the table had the names of all the group members written in invisible ink.  They could read the paper by holding it in front of a background torch.

They reached the end of the tunnel, which was where an old wooden ladder led upward to some faint sunlight. -->
