This FG game session takes place on day 17 of Autumn Dark ("November" to use real earth terms) in the year 351 AC - in other words a full day has not yet passed between this FG game session and the previous one, FG game session 25 (or for that matter the one before that FG game sesson 24) .. by the time this FG game session ends it's later afternoon, perhaps 5 pm or so ...

for more info on Fistaldanius and the area you're in right now, skullcap, Fistaldanius's former lair and fortress before his untimely death
The heroes were faced with a gigantic steel hydra - presumably a creation of the dark robed wizard Fistaldanius .. Zane tried crossing a thin crystal-like balance beam to get across the balcony they were in towards some stairs that would let them proceed further down into skullcap towards their goal , finding the map to the hidden dwarven mountain city of Thorbardin.. poor Zane got knocked off the beam by an unseen presence that attacked him, falling the entire way down to the hydra below.. the other heroes jumped down to rescue him and to do battle with the hydra.. the thing was ferocious and hard to damage leading to the heroes beating a strategic retreat after rescuing Zane ...
After getting past the hydra the heroes were able to take the next staircase down to the final , lowest layer of skullcap .. here they encountered a room that Fistaldanius used to summon and, apparently, sleep with, succubi .. despite Rin's heartfelt pleas to use the room for the same purpose Serinda refused to give in, repeatedly telling Rin he would not be using the room as it was practically dripping with the dark demonic magic one would expect to find in a room related to demons such as succubi..
Rin and Serinda's argument was interrupted when a statue came to life - the statue (a stone golem) only seemed interested in attacking Rin however and even then did no real (in game terms ) lethal damage to Rin - unfortunately for Rin however his "equipment" had been in plain sight in an attempt to shock Serinda and/or make her uncomfortable enough to leave Rin alone in the succubi summoning room.. Rin didn't have time to stuff "big rin" back into his pants.. taking advantage of the situation the stone golem grabbed Rin and literally swung him around by it.. Serinda cast a protective spell around Rin encasing him in a golden sphere ... the stone golem, strangely enough, then proceeded to dribble the sphere like a ball bouncing Rin around in it ... odd given that the resilent sphere spell Serinda cast doesn't normally result in a ball that "bounces" .. apparently Rin's wild magic was once more taking affect, affecting Serinda's spells now as well...
The statue then ceased to attack completely .. though as the heroes walked away from it , it could be heard making a snide remark about "amateur" wielders of magic born with the gift instead of learning how to use it through careful and precise study - apparently a slur against Rin , the only person on the face of Krynn able to cast "sorcerer style" spontaneous magic in literally thousands of years (arcane magic is normally practiced only by those in the "wizard" character class on Krynn )
Serinda made a point of destroying the succubus summoning room by covering the entire thing with ice.. enough time passed by later on (see upcoming recap for FG game session 27) afterwards for the iced books and other equipment to start thawing out - the ink ran inside the books pretty much ruining them.
