Heyton Family Crypt, Heyton's Thorpe, Outding Refuge Recap

The Mighty Menagerie ventures into the Sahuagin Crystal Cave to complete the Mayor's mission. They defeat the Sahuagin, fix the Crystal, and return the bodies of the previous adventuring party. Back in town, the party conducts research and uncovers ancient lore about the island and its Dragon, leading them to a new mystery at the town church.

Summary

The Mighty Menagerie enters the Heyton Family Crypt to investigate the wailing sounds. They encounter a Ghost, fight undead, and survive a dangerous trap, discovering more of the underground complex and its ancient secrets.

Scenes

The Heyton Family Crypts

The party descends into the crypts beneath the church. The air is cold and the stonework is similar to the Sahuagin caves. They find a storage room filled with crates and bookshelves.

An Ancient Encounter

While searching the storage room, the party encounters a misty blue figure: the Ghost of Kyleanna Heyton.

Kyleanna's Story: She reveals she was the wife of the first Heyton to settle the island, killed thousands of years ago by a Sahuagin. She has been stuck in the crypt for about a year, but doesn't know why she returned. She mentions seeing Jacoby Drexelhand and other villagers and has heard sounds from a secret passage to the north that she is unable to enter.

Ancient Origins: The party learns that the Heyton Family has been on the island for a very long time, and the crypts are generally reserved for male family members, with a few exceptions like Kyleanna.

Undead & Traps

Following Kyleanna's directions, the party finds a secret passage hidden behind a torch. They enter a hallway with six empty cells and several bodies and bones. These bodies reanimate, and a battle with undead ensues.

Undead Fight: The party defeats two Skeletons, a Zombie, and a Ghoul, led by Shadow and Sas.

The Stair Slide: After the fight, they find a staircase that turns into a slide, Sending them hurtling towards a wall of spikes. Sas and Reginald Ivoryclaw are knocked Unconscious, and the party has to use some of their healing potions to recover.

Will-o'-wisp: The party finds another secret door and enters a new room where they hear crackling energy. They fight and defeat a Will-o'-wisp.

Original Notes

The party enters the Heyton Family Crypt and comes down the stairs. The air is cold and crisp, and the stonework is similar to what they saw in the caverns with the Sahuagin Crystal. In the room, they see two passages going Left and on the right, a large raised platform with a crypt and some large urns with two lit braziers. The door across from the entrance is made of the same Petrified Wood they saw elsewhere.

The team entered that room; it was the storage room full of bookshelves, boxes, and crates.

2 cp

As they searched the room, they found a misty blue figure that began to come to them, and it turned out to be a Ghost, Kyleanna Heyton, the wife of the first Heyton Family to settle here.

The party went to the North tunnels and saw the strange torches. One was not in the holder. After they lit it and put it in the holder, it opened a secret passage in the wall.

Here they found six empty cells, with a few Dead bodies and bones. The skeletons and bodies began to rustle, and there was a fight.

The party took a lid of a sarcophagus and used it to keep the door up. And so the party descended the stairs. All of a sudden, it turned into a slide, and they slid down to the wall at the end—a wall with spikes.

Two Unconscious players -- Sas W.T. Rayce & Reginald Ivoryclaw.
