The heroes, bloodied from slaying waves of Cragmaw Castle defenders, began searching the castle to clear it of evil and relieve the former inhabitants of their ill-gotten booty. They encountered a group of Goblin acolytes in a chapel that had been corrupted and transformed into an unholy shrine to their dark god Lhupo. The terrified Goblins begged for their lives after witnessing the destruction of so many of their brethren earlier and were allowed to flee the castle by the merciful heroes.
The party continued their search and found Sildar's stolen equipment -- which included a sword of considerable sentimental value -- and then found a second group of goblins, who were attempting to flee the castle after the party annihilated most of their comrades. The heroes -- after some debate -- showed them mercy allowed them to flee the castle unmolested. Soon after Pog was leading the party through a dark hall when he triggered a trap that caused the ceiling to collapse on him. He nimbly jumped aside to avoid being badly hurt and wondered if he was perhaps too merciful to the Goblins earlier.
The team nearly completed clearing out the castle when they entered the Southeast Tower. It was the home of a ferocious, hungry Owlbear the goblins had been attempting (unsuccessfully) to tame. It charged the party, intent on eating their flesh, but the heroes easily overwhelmed it, slaying it with no injuries. While searching the tower the party found a decomposed, partially eaten corpse covered with mushrooms and a potentially magical eyeball that caught the party's attention. Pog -- no surgeon -- removed the eye with his sword and a cloud of white spores burst from the mushrooms covering most of the party. Unperturbed, the party continued their search and found a chest full of gold, scrolls, and a potion.
The team, having cleared the castle, traveled back to Phandalin. While en-route they identified their treasures -- which included a very valuable Staff of Defense. However, by the time they reached Phandalin Stevil had became extremely ill with a evil malady that left him exhausted with fungi sprouting from his body. He was able to identify the disease as Terva Elven Rot Plague Syndrome (TERPS).
