The party ventures further throughout the level, and does battle with a skeletal priest and his minions.
The group made their way into the grand chamber, where they did battle with a skeletal priest, wielding both potent magic and a mighty broadsword, as well as his skeletal minions, and a pair of moonspiders. The battle was long and hard, and it nearly killed the group, but they were able to slay all the evil creatures. Unfortunately, Caen was slain during the battle. Though they found great treasure, and keys to get around the level amongst the things of the bone priest, there was no celebration, as they had lost a friend. They took these things and their fallen comrade, and buried him outside the spire, taking time to rest and recover before heading into the spire again.
