relic hunters 17: crypt

General Summary

Zero still fast asleep had been having a dream. The dream saw him going backwards through all his memories as quick flashes. Before evntually landing in the desert. When zero looked back he only saw darkness instead. After trying to look forwards again, all was black. Only far in the distance could Zero see a little dot. Said little dot turned out to be the same symbol that Zero had on the back of his hand. When he touched it he saw quick flashes of the town Lytrin on fire and the same symbol on a banner. Zero had no idea if said visions were past or future.
After Zero woke up from his dream, he felt a weird pull to something below the shrine. After following his feeling, Zero found a secret entrance in the walls of the shrine. and accidentally found the party on the other side. The group quickly fills Zero in on all that has happened and the party moves together again. With the help of Zero the party removes the rubble in front of the crypt and went in. Inside the party explored the crypts and found they were all from elves. One of the doors the party went to was defended. When the party came close a ghost creature appeared in front the door and attacked with a screaming torrent of wind, pushing the party back. The party managed to win the fight after stopping the creatures screaming with a silence spell and wiping a rune that the creature seemed to orginate from. Behind the door the party found a more fancy looking crypt with 4 statues around them. While the mages of the group went to ritually cast detect magic to find the soul trail again, the rest went investigating. They found that the prayer to prevent the dead buried under the statues that are also graves and the main tomb were scratched out. The party found the soul was in the main tomb. When they opened it a ghost creature came out of it. The creature saw the symbol on the hand of Zero and was confused how he had that symbol, but didn't want to listen to him. After deckie went in to just grab the gym that had Alden's soul stored in it. The creature attacked. After a brief but difficult fight, the party won and took the gem back. By smashing the gem the party got Alden back, who then decided to hide in the crypt to be safe for now.
Eris went back to her duties. Later on the day Deckie talked with Denna about eris and her father. Denna for the first time heard a little more about the situation and with that information went to Eris to tell her that they would support them as much as they can and that Eris can leave if she does not want to be here, as the chosen of the flame should be true chosen, not manipulated.
On the next day Eris is helping with the preperationg of the upcoming high sun festival. And she was also approached by her father again, checking up if she had seen Alden in the meantime, Eris managed to decieve her father and keep Alden's hiding spot safe. Zero goes to distract for a bit during the preparations by wrestling with a guard and challenging Thorn to a battle(which thorn won). During the distration Eris snuck out to talk to Alden for a bit. Eris also contacted Lyxsas with magic asking for him come as quickly as possible. Lyxsas said he would. Though it would take a while. Lastly Denna showed the Soul of fire to Eris, showing her the responsibility of keeping it stable.
session lasted 1 day and ended on the 13th of draca.
