VULT 24, 1000 RUINS NEAR THE GLOAMING
They retrace their way back to the room with the undead rats. They go to the hallway they skipped earlier. Stairs lead up and they enter another smaller section of the crypt. At the top of the stairs are several urns. Two are knocked over and ash with bits of burnt bone are within. Suddenly Diana is not so sure going here was a good idea. Not sure if any of this is.
When the urns begin to vibrate and quiver she knows it is a bad idea. Suddenly the ashen cremated remains shift and leap into the air. Directly in front of Diana and Gears the ash collects and beginning with two legs, then torso, then head and finally two arms with a weapon begin to form.
Charger cannot reach the creature. Kar-Draith tries his arrows but little damage is done as the arrows penetrate and burst through the opposite side with a burst of fine ash. “Undead!” calls out Diana. [DM NOTE: slight tinkering of the Dustform creature template] The creature tries to attack but misses Gears as he chews at the thing’s leg. Taylor uses his Magic Missile wand from a safe distance.
Soon there is a thick cloud of grey dust in the air as many attacks strike and damage the creature. It turns to Charger and breathes a cone of ash and bone pieces at the warforged. His metal and dark wood body ignores most of the damage as they finish taking it down.
As usual, they turn to their left and find a large near empty room. Within it is only a statue of a cloaked man. He appears to be either a mage or cleric. Below there is a plaque that reads simply- “Sir Raven Blackhorne”
They search the statue and room for traps and hidden goods. After finding nothing, they turn their attention to another door to the right of the stairs.
The door is broken down by Charger and they enter it. Before the halfling on the floor is a buffed out and scratched image of the Sovereign Host. Just above it, deeper in the room is a symbol of The Shadow.
“Time to leave.”
They begin to walk back again into the rat room when Kar-Draith grumbles- “Where is that blasted book?!? You said it was here old man.”
“No. I did not.” Taylor has his hand closer to his wand now.
Defiantly, the lizardfolk hisses his anger and frustration and thumps his tail hard twice on the stone floor.
“I said my group was attacked by the Howlers and I found this crypt. Based on similar map directions, I said it MAY be here or at least near here.”
“Howlers…..” says Diana.
“Yes- the very creatures that killed your friend and my group. I believe they live nearby……”
“The cave?” surmises Diana.
“Quite possibly.”
