The first combat against the undead was disciplined and decisive. Both a front and rear attack, with a strong showing from the priests, ensured that your enemy was demoralised and on the back foot from the beginning.
A well-timed charm in your second sortie, and a strong front rank, ensured the run of success remained unbroken.
A rear attack on some Ogres, and a strongly presented holy symbol from the Guru, and your next set of enemies were on their way.
But in your fourth outing, although having found the rear entrance, discipline was lost. Three easy wins on the trot had you believing your own hype, and with a couple of crafty spellcasters in the mix, the strong frontline couldn't be formed, and a chaotic melee ensued.
Not wanting to let the Curate of the Earth Elemental Temple get away, the junior team gave chase. You were met, however, by a rear-guard force with something special up their sleeve. As the men started to fall, thier leader (and now your prisoner) unleashed a mighty weapon of magic, which felled your comrade, Lysander.
(Well, at least that's how you remember this story for now!)
You have pursued Romag, and found him cowering in the Temple proper. There was obviously something that has broken his spirit.
Now, having eliminated or taken over the Elemental factions, you still have some problems to overcome. You have unexplored areas which potentially still have both bad guys AND stuff to take. You have a fallen comrade. And the senior team have their own issues to resolve for the day before rejoining.
Treasure - starting with Romag and Hartsch, their commander and his lieutenant:

This is for 136 and 137. I break at this point to tell you that there is an iron chest in Romag's quarters, and a locked chest in the Commander's room. There is magic detected inside both.
I can give descriptions of these areas again if you wish.
