Session 8 - Level 2 and beyond Report

General Summary

10th - 11th of Lenzin 200 Continuing to investigate they found themselves in another large chamber. Spying one of those Grinning skull symbols they'd seen previously that contained a black ooze, they decided to open it, and out came another black ooze, they fought against it, during the combat it split many times, but they were able to destroy it eventually. Finding a piece of Ambersteel in the remaining mess, that must have been what was in the protective cache. Journeying deeper down the hallway, they came to a decrepit armory and found a secret door on one of the sides. Velvet opened it up and crept within, disabling traps along they way, arriving at a treasure room. Within they found a considerable ammount of coin and a red metal Helmet. Mara took ownership of the helmet and they moved on. Finally taking the passage down to the third level, they found themselves in a crystaline crusted room, glowing with strong magical energies. On the far side an Altar with a man made of stone cuffed to it. In each of the corners a coffin as a swirling green energy consumed the floor in the middle. Investigating the man shaped statue and the bindings they found that removing the shackles seemed to begin to lift the stone curse on the person upon the altar, most of the group backed away from it, though Velvet felt compelled to remove the last of the bindings, freeing a troublingly tall man with purple skin and a large rictus grin, who identified himself as Droman Selezan, a creature from the feywilds, he favored Velvet with a flower in her hair before disapearing, causing the swirling green portal to vanish. Once the portal closed, the seed in Arlanval's pocket seemed to worm its way through the cloth of the robes, and clattered upon the floor, rolling to the leyline the portal was opened upon, though this time opening one into darkness. Thus emerged a dark skinned woman with a single glowing yellow eye. She seemed to be forming a physical body as the party looked on, Harper noticing that she was beginning to look familiar. He moved forward and spoke to her, confirming his fear that it was indeed his friend Louisa, a girl who had died some 5 years prior, though something was very wrong with her. The Coffins in the corners opened and 4 undead guardians emerged to try and destroy her but she summoned shadow demons to keep them occupiedd as she made her escape by vanishing. The shadows and undead guardians fought until only the last guardian remained, throwing itself at the portal and erupting into radiant light, between it and the party's efforts, the portal was closed. Something about what Louisa told Harper stuck with him, something they'd seen written before, she was "Collected" They made their way back up to the surface and took the fountain statues. Treking back to Twin River, they decided to stay at the Frowning Boar this time, making the rounds to the local merchants to offload some of the things that they had found or recovered from the Goblins. They also collected the rewards for the jobs they accepted. The book of monster hunting and crafting with their parts as well as a bit of gold. Reconveining back at the Inn for the evening, the group discussed the past few days. Mara stopping in at the Church of Kord before turning in for the evening.
