Session XXV Summary:
With Dave absent, Nick volunteers to control Rekoj.
The Drogans descend to the second level of Shadowfell Keep into a chamber filled with hobgoblins. One yells out a challenge phrase, "Shadow seeks shadow!"
Coltaine responds with the passphrase retrieved from Ninaran's corpse, "From the ground, some magic was found."
The hobgoblin shouts, "It's the false pass phrase; intruders!"
Stephen thinks Balgron is to blame for the pass phrase not working--however, if that were the case, the hobgoblin would have shouted, "It's the old pass phrase," not, "It's the FALSE pass phrase," implying the pass phrase they had was a fake and would have never worked regardless of what happened with Balgron.
Combat begins. By the end of round 1, 7 hobgoblins have engaged the Drogans, while two are unlocking a cage to release a giant spider.
Zook incinerates three hobgoblins with flame seeds as Coltaine and Autumn are beaten into single-digit Hit Points.
By the end of Round 6, 4 hobgoblins and the spider remain.
With 6 HP left and 0 healing surges, Autumn teleports behind a wall of menacing hobgoblins, separating herself from her allies. She is quickly knocked unconscious.
As Round 9 begins, the spider and 4 hobgoblins remain; 2 are bloodied. One Drogan is down, 2 are bloodied.
A hobgoblin shouts, "Surrender now and we'll spare your lives; otherwise our spider will eat you."
Rekoj and Coltaine surrender, but the hobgoblins continue to beat them, ordering them to drop all of their weapons.
Zook and Rekoj are beat into unconsciousness, but Coltaine, with 1 HP, escapes up the staircase.

Session XXV - Part 1 Summary:
With Dave absent, Nick volunteers to control Rekoj.
The Drogans descend to the second level of Shadowfell Keep into a large, torch-lit chamber filled with hobgoblins. One yells out a challenge phrase, "Shadow seeks shadow!"
Coltaine responds with the passphrase retrieved from Ninaran's corpse, "From the ground, some magic was found."
The hobgoblin shouts, "It's the false pass phrase; intruders!"
Initiative is rolled.
Stephen thinks Balgron is to blame for the pass phrase not working--however, if that were the case, the hobgoblin would have shouted, "It's the old pass phrase," not, "It's the FALSE pass phrase," implying the pass phrase they had was a fake and would have never worked regardless of what happened with Balgron.
The Drogans have entered a large room that measures 40 feet by 50 feet, with a well sitting in its center. Exits are to the north, east, and a door to the west. The northern exit leads into a room with a cage in it, in which a creature is lurking.
Round 1 begins.
Another hobgoblin rushes in from the east.
