                           The vid screen immediately goes blank and a subtle sound of whining sounds decreasing in       volume and pitch come from all around you in the ventilation ducts. Emergency lighting comes on with a click as a voice speaks lacking all emotion and says "The Computer regrets to inform you that this sector is scheduled to undergo low power consumption mode to make up scheduled power deficits in other sectors. The regularly scheduled Teela-O-MLY show will be presented as scheduled. All glory for the Alpha Complex!"

                          As you walk back toward your communal living space that you share with 500 of your closest clones, your PDA bleats a message indication. Reading the message brings tears to your drug addled senses and after some time of reverie you start again to make sure there isn't a mistake. Because the Computer dislikes mistakes.

Cutscene

Opening the door, the smell of loam greets the party as the enter the dirt filled room. A colossal pile of dirt and rocks is in the corner.
 As everyone enters, the sound of rocks grinding together and dirt shifting are heard as the giant pile of dirt and rocks stands up in a vaguely human form towering up to near the top of the chamber, 40 feet tall.

It stands there for a second, seeming to scan the party, then it shuffles forward arms raised to strike...

Session 9

Administrative/Travel/Buying/Selling

Getting back to Hommlet the party tells Burne about what they have found. He extends all hospitality to the party, taking them on a daytrip to Sigil, The City of Doors to buy things.
Everyone buys something and Burne helps to purchase an item for everyone as long as they continue to thwart the Temple. The paladin notices something strange about Burne but isn't sure although the sun seems to hit him just about anywhere he goes, once they get to Sigil. Trying to determine his motives, the paladin only senses good intentions

They head back to the Crater Ridge Mines and go to the bridge and the wizard casts mass fly and they fly to the bridge with the Air key and they open the door, the smell of dirt and a collossal 10x30 foot pile of dirt and rocks greets them.

Session 8

After resting in the duregar's room, the party decided to return back to Hommlet. On the way back they ran into a ogre raiding party that nearly killed everyone, but the ogres had done quite well for themselves...quite.

Session 7

After the Earth temple, the party continued down a hall, finding some prisoners they released, they come upon a athach. Four rounds later, they find some human and half elf warriors guarding a room with a lever in it. The found a bridge that crosses some water to the center of the volcano.
A duregar and his pet barghest with some human fodder. Rest in the room with Leomunds Secure shelter.

Session 6

Picking up right were we left off, in the barracks room with the Howler, the party continued North toward the Earth temple. They found a troglodyte priest praying as the broke his door down and began attacking him. After some discussion at the paladins prompting, the priest agreed to take them to his leader, in the Earth Temple. They walk past guards and other priests, some follow along behind expecting trouble. Upon reaching the blood and loam smelling Earth Temple, a priest holds aloft a bloody human heart from a recently beating chest and a Xorn appears.
The party is introduced and some more conversation about human sacrifices and their willingness by the paladin makes the instigation of combat much easier. 8 Trog priests, high level trog priest, average xorn, another priest with earth elemental buddy, and a trog fighter with a great sword all are in the area.
Paladin attacks the head priest, monk and fighter attack, priest uses his wand of Cause Fear on the trog fighter and he runs, Xorn attacks and wallops the fighter. Monk and fighter cleave through the remaining trogs and the xorn, after than the fight was almost just clean up.
The silence returned again afterward.
