Session 4: Revenge of Mzar
General Summary
After opening the large brass doors, the party looked into a huge room illuminated by a brightly glowing flame above the center sarcophagus. A small still figure of a halfling could be seen laying next to it. As they entered, the party heard a dry, echoing laugh before entering into battle with the wicked undead knight, Julian Mzar, and his minions. Through a tough fight with the party taking a couple fierce blows, the group prevailed after Bernie expertly loaded his blunderbuss and shattered the skeletal ranks in a bursting explosion of bone.
Following the fight against Mzar, the party encountered the ghost of the crusader Dolvi Thornspear , who told them his tale and presented another quest upon them. He recounted that there were 3 amulets that when put together formed a key to a long forgotten treasure vault. Two of the amulets, once belonging to Dolvi himself and Mzar were missing and the third was last seen with his old companion, Aerilith. He requested the party follow-up with Aerilith and track down the missing amulets.
Searching the rest of the tomb, the party found the corpse of another human with a note that read "The amulets are entombed with Dolvi and Mzar", along with a map of the crypt, thus cementing that the previous raiders were here for a specific purpose. Taking Dolvi's request to heart, and waking the fallen halfling girl, the party reunited Dimira and Roldare and then set back to Plumcrest to finish their quest with the Brightflame and tell their tragic tale of the others who were killed.
The heroes of the tomb of the Brightflame were welcomed back with open arms, but the mood quickly grew sour as the tragedy was told. They enjoyed a solomn festival, where Bernie grew quite drunk and Ray struggled with mental state of what had just happened.
