Well I didnt remember what kind of weapon you used, so I put axe because you are a barbarian... well I will(now probably, I have already done) edit the post.
I didnt know what was going on too, I just followed RedSox post. But I think the dragon is not there anymore(I REALLY dont know why...), it was just a invisible Mage(that you really KICKED his ***  ). And I have no idea about Nihdgrim too, please explain to us... he is now the DM(or GM) and he is getting levels by it?????
I am completely confused, but I will still play...

Here's a summary of what happened:
A dragon attacked us. We were dealing it damage. Then the dragon killed us. We respawned at the entrance and all lost one level. A dwarf told us that the dragon was gone, so we went back to where we died. We found the 500 gold that we lost. Then I did the part about the riddle enscribed on the wall. Then a mage attacked us. The mage cast invisibility, then cast a fireball spell. It hit everyone. Everyone was knocked unconscious except Madmartigan, because he has a lot of spell points. Athimus and Bjorn weren't unconscious, because they made saving throws to the spell and only took half damage.
Athimus cast invisibility purge on the mage, then Bjorn started healing Mad_Martigan while he pounded the **** out of the mage. The mage eventually died.
The party rested after that.
*rest of party wakes up*
*Bjorn heals everyone*
"What happened?"
*Bjorn tells the story*
"Oh. Well anyway, I had a dream about the message on the wall. I think I know what it means.
I am all and I am am none. What am I?
The wall is referring to itself, right?
The truth shall be revealed once I am known.
So apparently it's some kind of illusion."
*casts invisibility purge on the wall*
A door appears on the far side of the wall...

OOC: When the runic staff of the mage exploded, the opposite rune, the one used to transform Nidhgrin to stone was destroyed. The mage, or another of his brotherhood, was the one that fired the petrifying arrow. Now Nidhgrin is reverting back to flesh at the tavern (hence the scream). He will join up with the group as soon as he gets to the crypt, but he's very weak for the moment, and not all of the enchanted arrow's effects are gone...

*Party starts on it's way through the door*
"Wait! We should get Nidhgrin! Athimus. Can you cast dimension door yet?"
*Athimus casts dimension door. Disapeers*
A few minutes he returns with Nidhgrin.
"Hey Nidhgrin what happened to you?"

"Hey Nidhgrim, we missed you... but, we dont have time to lose lets resume the quest."
*Looks at Shadow_Elf*
"What are you waiting for? You will always go first!"
*Shadow_Elf angrily enters the door*
-----------------
I liked the idea of the Dimension Door!
And about the invisibility, the spell just lets you see things that are invisible, it dont removes the invisibility or make illusions disappear...

Using the power of his soul, redsoxfan managed to diturb a dragon, and give athimus the power to 1 time only, use dimension door. This however cost part of his soul.

Save your blessings to yourselves old man. And start speaking. What is lurking in there?
What kind of *evil* are you talking about?
(While they are talking, Madmartigan senses something in the bushes listening - motions to the other to pretend as if everything is normal. Pulls out his sword, and approaches to the bush. All of a sudden an imp jumps out of the bushes and starts to run away from the barbarian. He chases, but he cannot catch him)
Darn, I am getting old. Sry guys. I was unable to catch that spy. Now we gotta be twice careful

In the game Baldur's Gate you cast invisibilty purge which detects all invisible objects or creatures.

WTF! Who are you to just take away level randomly? You didn't even give me a warning.
btw Athimus is a high level mage who should be able to cast such a spell.
_____________________________________________
*Redsoxfan3 passes out from the experience*
He has a dream in his coma. He reconnect with his lost pieces of soul. Redsoxfan3 gains back all his experience.
*Redsoxfan3 wakes up*
"What happened?"
"You passed out," said Athimus. "You were out for about an hour. Are you alright?
"Yah. I feel better than I did before."
*Redsoxfan3 glares at bjorn*
"So you're finally awake?" said the old man, "By the way my name is Bill."
"Well, Bill you are welcome to join our party if you like. Seeing that you can survive here on your own for so long, you must have great skills and knowledge that we would love to have in our party."
"Thank you RedSoxFan3, I'd love to join your party."
"So how did you last so long?"
"Well I came here 3 years ago with a party of mages. One of them cast see invisibility on me and I ran in this room. The rest of the mages all died. At that point I was just a beginner mage so they didn't want me fighting a dragon.
After the dragon left, I went back and looked through all their stuff. I studied thier magic for about a year until I lost all their stuff while I was running from a pair of wyverns. I'd go back to get the stuff, but the place is infested by 2 pair of wyverns and quite a few babies.
Anyway about how I've been surviving so long. I have a spell called good berries. These are special berries that when you eat them you gain 1 life. Well I can eat fruits anytime I want that way. Then I have plenty of salted wyvern meat from baby wyverns that run away from their nest. So far I'm good enough to take on those nasty things by myself. A magic missle and a lightning bolt usually do the trick. But those wyverns are very dangerous. I've been able to fend them off for a second or 2 by quickly casting magic missle so I have a better chance to run away. I think that if we worked together we could kill at least one of those wyverns w/o dying.
I saw what all you did to that mage. He has been trying to kill me for a long time. He would have killed many times if it wasn't for those good berries."
_____________________________________________
For the future Bjorn, instead of giving random level-ups couldn't you give experience to people instead for doing certain things.
Ex: party kills wyvern. everyone gains 300 experience.
Athimus gains 500 exp for saving Shadow_Elf's life.
1000 experience = level 2
2500 experience = level 3
5000 = 4
8000 = 5
12500 = 6
etc...
One more thing:
Contributing good ideas for game = 1000 experience

That info was given in the beginning..
The spawning of the dragon is *kinda* "Noob crazyness"..
And Dimension door.. thats a spell from Homm3, not NWN, and if it was from NWN it would surely be level 9. Athimus is level 5 and can cast like.. level 3 spells at most 
And level 3 chars hitting a dragon? hehe..
The idea was kinda to *not* be gods from the start, but to work our way up. But if you like the epic stuff, we can chance it. After all, itīs your game 
I just think we should try to play according to the powers we have had from the start, and try to find the jade monkey.

*Nidhgrin stares at the party, confused. His once blue eyes now seem to have turned grey. Streaks of silverwhite run through his hair. He looks older, several years at least. He holds his short sword in his trembling hands, the blade shows marks of black undead blood. He grasps for air and starts to speak with a tired painful voice.*
"What by all that is sacred... How much time has passed, how did you guys rescue me? How did I get here in the first place? The arrow, the mage... Is he gone?"
*Nidhgrin sheats his sword back into his belt, revealing a number of deep swordcuts in his arms and a major injury accross his chest. He's losing blood fast through a gap on the right side of his head. A part of his skull is visible. Then he holds his head into his hands and speaks on, his voice merely a whisper.*
"My head... Werewolves, there must have been dozens of them... There were just too many of them. The tavern owner, I'm afraid he's... If not for you, I would have joined him already. We must be prepared, they are probably heading this way right now. I hope this crypt is a safe hideout. Or else we're in deep trouble."
*Nidhgrin collapses on the floor, nearly mortally wounded and completely exhausted. It's almost a miracle he was still standing, holding his sword.*

I just think we should try to play according to the powers we have had from the start, and try to find the jade monkey.
If you wanted that then you should have included all the rules of advanced D&D such as call shots, THAC0, gaining exp. for each level up. As far as rolling dice is concerned, I'm thinking that we should randomly choose a number. If you, Bjorn, thinks that our rolls are generally too high, then you will give temporary penalties to all rolls that a character gets. We should also specifically state all stats of spawned enemies.
Ex: A baby wyvern attacks
HP - 31
Armor class - 4
THAC0 - 14
You should also have a list of spells that we can use at the beginning of the game AND when we find new scrolls or learn new spells, you should give say the spells name and then give all properties of the spells.
If you would like, I would be willing to devote time to making a new thread including all of these rules. I would provide a list of spells, a list of starting weapons, armor, it would also include, proficiency points for weapons etc. I could even create a map, too. This would take some time, but I would be willing to start doing this, maybe it could be a team effort to create a good game setting.

I think everyone is free to create threads in the tavern
And yes, youīre right about dimension door, but its a level 4 spell and AP cant cast it until he is level 7
*Bjorn190 does his best to heal nidhgrin*
Bjorn190: "Woah, they really did a job on you. You were lucky to escape. These werewolves must have been sent out by the same villains that want to keep the jade monkey from us. Thereīs no turning back now.. we must go through the crypt, and fight whatever is inside. And be careful.. I had a vision tonight, about a vampire."
Bjorn190: *points in the direction of the door*
*casts protection from evil*

opens the door slowly. It is very dark and misty inside.
He can hardly see something which he decides to be a tomb. (remembering Bjorn's vision about the vampire)
Starts to approach to the tomb. Behind him enters Athimus, RedSoxFan, Shadow_Elf, Bjorn, Nihdgrin and finally Klauts.
Suddenly he hears a hissing sound to the right. Reflexlively he turns to his right swinging his sword. He hits something. Then he realizes a pair of eyes looking at him.
He can feel the eyes penetrating his soul. He can hear the warning cries of his friends; telling him to be careful about a vampire. But their words does not make any sense for him. He is astonished by the beauty of the eyes, and by the words the vampire whispers into his mind.
(All 3 mages casts magic missile on the vampire. Now the vampire is badly injured)
Madmartigan is angry with his friends because they mean harm to this most beautiful creature. The vampire tells him that these mages want to kill him. Madmartigan must get rid of them.
He turns around and attacks RedSoxFan who is concentrated on another spell. Madmartigan attacks him and chops the right arm of the concentrated mage who is not expecting the attack. RedSoxFan drops onto the ground unconscious. Next target he chooses for himself is Klauts. Klauts who has seen what Mad did to RedSox realizes that the barbarian is charmed by the vampire, and shouts at Bjorn to cast a dispel magic on Madmartigan.
(Vampire approaches RedSoxFan who is lying on the floor, and sucks his blood. Vampire is now injured and RedSoxFan is near death. Vampire rises, and attacks Shadow_Elf)
Madmartigan runs at Klauts and knocks him down to the ground. He then turns towards Athimus who finihes casting his spell-another magic missile at the vampire.
Madmartigan looks at Athimus. He is disgusted by the sight. He must kill Athimus. He must prevent Athimus harming that beautiful creature. Just when he is about to attack him, he hears Bjorn's voice inside his brain. Madmartigan comes to his senses.
Vampire is now feeding himself on Shadow_Elf, to compensate the damage dealt on him by Athimus (Shadow_Elf is now level drained). Nihdgrin approaches the vampire from back and cuts his throat dealing a critical backstab damage.
Vampire is now badly injured.
He throws away the body of the Shadow_Elf he is about to lose the battle. He also realizes that the barbarian is not under his control anymore.
Madmartigan attacks vampire and hits him. The huge sword enters into the ribs of the centuries old undead.
Vampire escapes into his tomb. To sleep and regenerate.

*Nidhgrin has permanently lost 4 constitution points due to a curse of unknown origin, at the same time his strength seems to have increased. Nidhgrin uses his potion of healing on Shadow_Elf.*
"There, that should lighten the pain. RedSoxFan, are you all right? Your arm, can it still be fixed?"
*Then he turns his head towards bjorn190 and grins.*
"By the way. Thanks good friend, I'm feeling much better already. To the tomb everyone. The thing is wounded, we have the advantage here! Follow me, I'm used to dark places."
*Even though it's nearly pitch dark, Nidhgrin strides forward as if it were broad daylight. Suddenly he stops in front of the tomb.*
"Stop, stand back everyone! This place is trapped."
*With his short sword he turns over one of the tiles on the floor revealing an ingenious trap. One quick move and the mechanism is disarmed. Then Nidhgrin steps further, leaving the others behind wondering how he can see so good in this darkness.*
"Are you guys coming? We don't have time to picknick, there's a horde of werewolves out there and a wounded vampire ahaid. We also have a jade monkey to find, remember?"
