Before resting for the night, we search the vampire’s room and find books, money, and clothes. Some of the books are necromantic in nature. One is about “He Who Devours” and has some magic upon it. We learn that “He Who Devours” is a primordial being and learn of a different creation myth of chaos and demons and other primordial beings before the known deities created our world. It is unclear if “He Who Devours” is a being from before or after the creation.
We also spike doors before resting.
The next morning, Bryn is exhausted by a dream of a giant beast with a broken collar.
We search the rooms to the west. We find some more loot. We gather all the loot in the room with the chests. Zho ni cast detect magic and we find a scroll hidden in a book, and verify what items are magic. [See the loot list for details.]
We re-learn spells and Zho ni casts augury to determine our best course of action is to let the druid use stone shape to collapse the rock above. We also learn that the vampire’s staff is of the sphere, but Zho ni convinces us to take back to his temple for its destruction.
Urman uses wizard lock to lock the doors to the temple.
We take out a room full of ghouls and one ghast. The last skeleton butler is slain.
The other rooms with undead are empty.
Urman cast fireball and destroys the shadows in the throne room.
We exit and retrieve the dwarf. The waters are a bit higher. We elect to search the mound that we were warned is heavily trapped.
The following morning, Zho ni plans to cast Remove Curse on Bryn.
Good stuff, another 750XP for Urman.
Small section missing in that you all discovered Vorigan’s laboratory amongst the rooms to the west. Inside, you could see that he was trying to create Ogre versions of the Heartless warriors you had face previously, and had several more corpses lined up.
