 //Area K9)// The Dungeon
-The party fights a Yuan-Ti Ghost who seems to serve as a prison warden (of sorts).
+The party descends the sloping stairs from the Torture Chamber to Level 1, where
+they encounter a Yuan-Ti Ghost named Yensurros -- who serves as a prison warden
+(of sorts).
+Yensurros leads the party on a frustrating game of cat and mouse through the
+walls of the prison cells.  In the process, he drains vital life force from
+[[Yosi]]((4 points of STR)), [[Líkami]]((6 points of DEX and //?// points of
+STR)), and [[Freyrik]]((//?// points of INT)).
 //Area K10)// Cells
-Rescue prisoners,  The party earns one //action point//.  For redemption information,
+After destroying the ghost, the party finds nine prisoners scattered throughout
-see [[http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/actionPoints.htm]].
+the cells:
+  * Selirra (CG female elf adept 2). She lacks her holy symbol and so is unable to cast spells.
+  * Aldros (N male human commoner 1). He was taken from the slave community in the vale (area F).
+  * Rollin (LG male human expert 3).
+  * Thoburk (CN male orc warrior 1). In exchange for his rescue, he insists on aiding the party in combat.
+  * Illria (N female halfing rogue 2). Illria stumbled across Castle Serastis as a wandering adventurer, and was caught when she tried to break in.
+  * Daverov (LN male dwarf aristocrat 4). He insists on learning the hometowns of the party so he can send them a reward for his rescue.
+  * Kaleb (CN male human warrior 2). he was a hired guard in a small village north of [[Saltmarsh]]. When drunk on duty, he was taken unawares by the yuan-ti.
+  * Maneri (LN female human aristocrat 2). She owned the gallery Kaleb was supposed to be guarding, and was captured when he was.
+  * Male human corpse.  (Dead before the fight with the ghost -- so was not "collateral" damage)
+  * Ossuru (CE female yuan-ti pureblood). A former guard, she failed in her assignments once too often.
+In conversation with Ossuru, the yuan-ti prisoner, she insinuates the existence
+of a secret passage on this level.  When pressed for details, though, she puts
+up brief (and futile) resistance and is killed.  The orc, Thoburk, //insists//
+on joining the party on their "revenge quest" against the yuan-ti -- and the
+party (only somewhat reluctantly) agrees.
+[[Allie]] consoles and feeds the remaining prisoners while the party finishes
+searching this level.  Once this level is deemed safe, the prisoners are
+escorted out through the secret passage -- //earning the party **one special
+action point**//((These points may only be redeemed during the final battle in
+Castle Serastis -- for a list of what can be done with these points, see
+[[http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/actionPoints.htm]]))
 //Area K11)// Garbage Pit
-Stinky Otyugh.
+Gophodros, a magic-infused Otyugh lives in this massive garbage pit.  Despite
+the overpowering stench and his magical resistance, the party dives in and
+defeats him.  Under the garbage, [[Ketamine]] finds a

-... Up to Level 3 ...
+The next morning, the party returns to the fortress via the secret passage
+discovered the previous day.  Once inside, they proceed up the passage -- which
+leads to the Kitchen (Area K4).
+From there, they cross the Great Hall and head up the sloping passage to the
+third level.
 //Area K15)// The Interior Balcony
+This area is mostly an extension to The Great Hall (Area K3) -- and consists of
+a long brass railing around the edge of a balcony.  Doors and stairs lead in all
+directions.
 //Area K16)// Barracks
-Find 16 x 4d6 gp!
+While these chambers are currently empty, a variety of yuan-ti personal effects
+are found -- including 229 gp in coins and cheap jewelry.
 //Area K17)// Guest Chambers
-Find (and kill) a Human Patrol (on break?).
+In one of these rooms, a //human// patrol was found (and killed).  The other
+room is covered in dust and appears not to have been used for some time.
 //Area K18)// The Way Forward
-Up the stairs and kill two Poison Dusk Lizardfolk guarding a door.
+Through the last unlocked door on this level, the party finds a set of steep
+stairs leading to a door.  At the top, a pair of Poison Dusk Lizardfolk stand
+guard.  Though they manage to activate a small barrier, their ranged weapons are
+insufficient to stop the party from reaching the top and the party's front rank
+makes short work of them.
