Entry #15 - exploring the island
We leave the towner and are greeted by the groundskeeper.
While investigating a building, we start to feel a breeze without a breeze. Jean Marie goes back up after we tell him about this and he also senses some kind of spirit. I decide to make a Ouija board and we find out that Grim is the one who caused the lighthouse light to go out. The spirit continues to say that he is underground and that we need to find a code in order to get underground. Surprisingly, it also asks us to stop stealing! I had found a holy symbol and gave it to Jean Marie, so Jean Marie fortunately returns it . The spirit tells us to find justice for Egan, and drops us a hint of WT, which Jean Marie thinks may stand for West Tower. I had forgotten all about the other tower!
We head over there and sure enough, utilizing Franklin's sketch, and Odd's keys, we get in and locate a room with stairs leading down to a basement with a ring on the floor with hand symbols. I detected magic on the stairs and this circle we see before us. Draxon, for some reason, proceeds to place his hands on these hand prints and gets shocked. Looking around I do see runes about the room. Utilizing my knowledge of the arcane, I learn that this is some kind of portal that is still active; if we can figure out how to trigger it. Not finding much more, we proceed to the east tower.
Filled with broken furniture, we find stairs down under an old rug. This leads to a room with a heavy table with candles, also in the room is a life size granite statute. There are books scattered about the room, among them is Egon's journal. After perusing it, it sounds like he learned about the temple tales from Grim.
Heading back to the spirit, we confirm the passcode we found in Grim's journal, and Draxon volunteers to stand in the circle and say the password. Behold, a passage way opens up to a small room about 8' down with no stairs. Jumping down we see muddy tracks going down a corridor. Taking a closer look, we think it's from 8 humanoids, 1 very large. Through an open door down the corridor is a swarm of crawling hands coming towards us! I quickly cast AID and Draxon goes berserk! Odd casts some new vine spell and Franklin breaks out some fire arrows. We make short work of these hands, and oddly enough we see some new ability of Draxon's to blink in and out of existence along the battlefield. Quite useful!
