Despite taking the cult leader, Ivlis, captive, the party decides there may be more trouble (and treasure) waiting for them back at the caves – so they return to the Shrine of Evil Chaos (Cave K).

Down the stairs from the Altar room, they find a group of rooms above the Shunned Cave (G). In the first room, they find four cultists and a brief fight erupts. But since the cult leader is missing, the four are easily convinced to stand down. The three “regulars” are released, but the cell leader, a Gnome named Weltra (whom the party met in session #11) is taken captive.

Down some more stairs, the party finds a crypt with a sarcophagus. When disturbed, a Wight jumps out and a fight erupts. After it is destroyed, the party notices that the wight was created from the body of the original Ivlis, whom the Doppelganger replaced.

With the mystery of the cult (mostly) explained, the party decides to dispatch the Owlbear farther down in the Shunned Cave. Luckily, they find it asleep and make short work of it.

Beyond the Owlbear, a pair of Oozes are destroyed and some more treasure is found.

Further exploration reveals that the Ogre, Oggdug, has left the cave complex - as have the Goblins and the Nothic. They kill a Giant Spider in the Goblin cave and a Gelatinous Cube in the Hobgoblin cave. The latter is enough to convince the Hobgoblins to leave the area without a fight. (The price for their safe passage, though, is that they have to leave their treasure behind).

Satisfied that the cave complex has been cleared out, the party takes the Gnome cultist, Weltra, back to the Keep - where she is thrown in a cell next to the Doppelganger.
