------

We entered the Titan's Hand. It seems like a nicely fortified position at least. We managed to set things up well enough to take a rest but it was soon interrupted by Doran opening a chest that Erizax said was magical. It definitely was a magical thing as a slime creature popped out and started to attack the party. It seems that Renaud was having a bad time, perhaps it was the uneven floor but he was hit plenty and seemed to have his health drained from his body.

In the end we defeated the thing as well after much stumbling about. I felt like I had to risk things to ensure that Renaud didn't get hit more for now. Then we set up to rest properly again.

We were allowed some respite before something wanted to break into here. A massive, enormous, hideous creature pushing through and proving to be stronger than Ben. It was impressive to see such a horrifying thing. I am glad we had Doran, Ben and Randall to beat the thing repeatedly but even then it was an incredible slog.

I spent most of the fight dragging our unconscious cleric along the ground and trying to wake up our holy warrior. In the end Renaud stood up by the time that the giant zombie fell over and stopped moving.

This place is nasty. I hope there's no more of these wicked things. There's still some skeleton archers above that we will surely have to deal with eventually.
