Session II: Noises in the Dark

General Summary

Party continues to explore after killing the kobold and getting some basic supplies. They find the statue room, try the rusted door, then explore the embalming room and loot it for bandages, oil, and weak acid. They use the weak acid and oil to open the crematory. They figure out the activation of the furnace, and burn the dead kobold hoping for a smoke signal. The furnace fills with smoke and deactivates.   They explore the other path, and find the ossuary. After hearing some approaching noises, they are attacked by two kobolds. Defeating them and recovering the statue's sword and shield, they return those items. They continue the exploration and return the entrance, finding another pressure plate in the right stairway down.   They decide to try and step on both at once, and hear an echoing thunk. They return to the statue, which has withdrawn to reveal a crank. Turning the crank, they reveal the ventilation / service tunnels. Exploring these, they find a storage room, a sleeping room, and a trapdoor.   The trapdoor opens into the crematorium, and the vantage allows them to see a panel in the wall. Opening the panel reveals a chute travelling upward. They struggle a bit, but Aldric climbs to the top and finds dirt blocking progress. He digs out to the surface, coming out onto a small hillside.   L'Arry follows, and they improvise a rope which helps Alyosius get to the top. After climbing a tree and spotting the town, they travel through the forest. They encounter a small mountain cat, but kill it and bring it back to the town.   The watch lets them in, as they were noticed but not stopped when they left hours earlier. The watch took the body of the cat, and the party crashed in the common room of the nearest inn.

Notes

The furnace chimney is partially blocked by plant growth, but still allows slow airflow.
