(Jovan's player missed a couple of sessions, so missed out on the first part of the Ziggurat dungeon crawl; his character has failed several distant madness saves and hasn't quite been himself lately)
Session 20 and 21 (6-10-21, 6-17-21):
I was a bit out of it… the others said insane so I don’t remember too much. I know there was a room with different lights that was a puzzle of sorts. Then, there was a room with a map that seemed to indicate there was another location like this one off the coast of Ber. Finally, I remember a room with a giant golden seal and several dead bodies lying around… Bergeron’s team I think… But, then there was the sound of rushing water… the temple was starting to flood behind us. And, the dead bodies began to rise up…
Session 22 (6-24-21):
I had a vision… it was of my dead brother. He was washing dishes and he looked older and healthy… not like he’d been when I last saw him. A woman walked up behind him and kissed him on the neck. He smiled at her and said, “I have much to think about.”
Then I snapped out of it and there were still dead bodies rising up and water rushing in. Coming from around the corner, 2 and then 4 mummies with spears shambled toward us. I wanted to take the south passage and get away from them but the others thought the mummies must be keeping us from taking the passage behind them. So, we battled them while the water crept closer and closer. When we finally brought them down, the water was on us and we had to move.
Further down the passage was a room with more of the “thought form” creatures in it. Gyldiel was the first in the room and I followed closely behind. There were spears coming out of the walls and crab-like creatures came down from the ceiling. This was a very bad room. I tried to cross to the other side but when I was still a ways from the exit, vines sprang up blocking the way out and the way we’d come in. The others were still in the hall and now Gyldiel and I were trapped… I really hated this room.
Then, a crack appeared in the center of the room and the floor started drawing into the walls. This room really, really sucked.
But, after a bit, Bell was able to tell that the floor was actually an illusion. So, while some held the line, others finally tore through the vines blocking escape. Like before, the water was upon us… except I found out the hard way it was more acid than water.
Moving along, Bell and Sylvia kept the remaining creatures off our backs while the rest of us found fire traps and other nasty things trying to prevent us from getting away. There were more mummies ahead as well. One almost killed me before we finally took them out. We were so close to the entrance but there were more undead ahead blocking our path… this is going to be close.
