Infiltrating the Necromancer's Lair

by Solara Nightwood

The Catacombs are inside a mountain in the Odrics, approximately two thirds of the way between Porzuña & Solana del Rio, closer to the latter.

  • I scout ahead in mouse shape while the others fight several skeletons.

  • We find a room that looks like it caved in. We push through the rest of the cave.

  • Having joined us at our camp the previous night, Blake, a human woman tries to listen in on the voices I heard. She trips on a rock and draws the attention of everyone.

  • She tries to say shes new here

  • we hear someone yell "intruder" and "bullshit"

  • fight!

  • we find a note

    • Stay in the cave, and don't go poking your nose in local villages. You have more than enough corpses here and we don't need the attention

  • Blake looks around

  • The room we're in seems to be a former ceremonial camber turned quarters, barebones amenities, and not much in possessions

  • a few spell components

  • several tunnels that shoot off to various burial areas

  • Forward from where we came, we find what seems like the boss room after poking around a bit more.

    • Session Two
  • We find a woman, Estice, in the catacombs, a cleric who'd heard rumors of a necromancer in the caves

  • She can't fight the necromancer but can stop them from turning bodies into the undead

  • We track down the necromancer in her main hall, and fighting ensues. Solvayn 1v1s a knight

  • We kill Necromancer Camilla pretty quickly, and Solvayn cuts her head for proof.

  • We check out the one section of the dungeon we missed. We approach it and start to hear otherworldly sounds.

  • While taking a vote to determine if we're pushing forward, I get walloped by a Wraith, as it emerged from the wall. Drained my life force. 0/10 would not recommend it.

    • Session Three
  • We went back to the hollowed ground to take a short rest and catch our breath.

  • We went back to our earlier location, and find a small room with a lot of undead.

  • Kalo al-Enok cast a fireball and annihilated most of them, sparing a single wraith. The wraith tried to attack but then @14 Marek with a holy hammer and took it out with a single blow.

  • We visited a tomb of a king and Estice spoke with them, asking their spirit questions. We found the tomb had a curse put on it to protect the King's tomb and he did not wish to be relocated to the capital and wished to remain buried on the mountain and left his tomb untouched, for now.

  • Ghost of Emmanuel says some real self-righteous bullshit about Just rule being about harsh penalties for stealing bread.

  • We went further down the cave and were attacked by figures peering out of the walls and Estice's detect magic prevented them from totally ambushing us by surprise.

  • We detect a curse in the fancy burial chamber.

    • Back in Solana del Rio
  • We fulfilled our contracts.

  • I offer Blake to stay in Fort Alonso, with a spare room.
