Dave did not take notes for this night. However, not much happened. We had begun the fight with the winged devils. They wanted credit for the dimensional gate theories that were proposed. It truly is a publish or die life. Basically we fought over the pool of lava and eventually killed them. Afterwards we bought some equipment to dig through the ceiling in combination with a druid earth earth spell. When we approached breaching the ceiling to the lake above, tentacles broke through the remaining distance and started to attack us. It was some sort of tentacle fish! It couldn't pass throught he opening but it could stick its head through and had fairly large reach withn its tentacles. It was pretty high level considering it was just a big fish...
Anyway we played keep away for a few rounds and then when we got out of the way we took the ceiling down. Can't remember how... I think it was the druid spell again. It fell through along with the water and turned the entire room into a boiling lake while we retreated up along the corridor. this mostly filled the room and buried the portal room. We were fairly sure this ended the portal threat.
