The party stared outside of the small town of New Sorpigal with their six letters in hand. They walked around the town wondering where to go, and decided to enter the inn first. They saw a shady character who they thought was Andover Potbello. Haku approach him and gave the password "Sandman" and handed him the letter. He gave the party a bag of money and asked them if they could retrieve a candelabra that was lost in their abandoned temple to the northwest. He would give them another bag if they were successful. The party got a room, thought about it, and decided to do it including figuring out a way to mess up the evil item before it got back to Andover. They agreed.

They used their money to purchase some weapons, armor, and needed skills for adventuring. They also purchased memberships to the Blade's End, Buccaneer's Lair, Guild of the Elements, and Guild of the Self. Talking to various people around town and the town hall, they agreed to kill the Queen of Spiders lairing in the abandoned temple, and retrieve the combination of the vault door in Goblinwatch.

The party decided to attempt to attack the fort, Goblinwatch, and ran into trouble on the way there. Three orcs attacked and with some trouble they defeated them. They took their spoils, including a light warhorse, and sold their wares for more cash. They finally spent the night ready to face the next day.

Waking up early, the party set off again. They finished clearing out the main level, leaving a group of rabid giant rats in the trash room. They head down a ramp to the basement level and discovered a storage room. In that room was a host of weapons and provisions. Hidden in the corner was a locked box. Using the key found yesterday, the party opened it and found the new combination to the vault. However, it was a puzzle as the vault seemed to have sixteen buttons and six doors. Pressing a button would open one door and close another. They left it alone for now as it made Haku's head hurt just thinking about it. Continuing they discovered the fort's temple and killed some Goblins guarding it. They discovered a large button which Haku pushed because it looked pretty. Two hidden doors rose into the ceiling and from one of them, several dog-sized rats came running out. Tigger started foaming at the mouth when he was bit by one of them, so the party quickly finished off the rest of them. Tigger bravely continued and the party finally discovered the vault room. After killing the Goblins guarding it, they tried to figure out the riddle. After some time they discovered the answer to the riddle was GOBLIN spelled backwards to make "NILBOG". After touching the buttons in this sequence the six doors of the vault opened up like the show "Get Smart". Inside the vault was a long corridor which led to a cavern filled with rats and flying bat like horrors with razor-sharp teeth. In the center of this room was an Obilisk. The group shot at one of the monsters and fled back through the vault shutting the doors behind them. Two of the bat creatures made it past them and the party quickly slew them as well.

The party made several trips back and forth to the fort to get the supplies, but they didn't decide to bring back the combination, as they thought the town would like what was behind the vault. They decided to wait and see what was hidden in the vault first before telling the town about it. Tigger got healed at the temple, and they slept well that night.
