Play Session 8/23/21 - Entering Didarius' Tomb & the Tiled Chimera

-Waking up the next morning, Varram still hadn't come back out, and the remaining troll was nowhere to be seen.
-Andhero & Co. dig up one shallow grave and see that the corpse was obviously attacked by the trolls. After casting speak with dead, the most we learned was that one fellow "had studied the sacred texts of our queen"
-We took it to mean that it had to do with the dragon cultists.
-The group eased past the statues with no other reanimation effects.
-The interior entryway was half beautiful illusionary effects to look like a magnificent guilded hall and half looted and broken into rubble where the illusory effects were gone.
-Jilfaen wanted to bring Hall & Oats with us because of the trolls, but the group dissuaded her, so she spoke tenderly to them about staying put but running if the trolls returned.
-In the next chamber were 6 statues that seemed to eye the group pretty unsettlingly. They were shaped to look like wizards. Two members of the group looked at the faces of one of these hooded figures and felt some type of compulsion that they both shook off; warning the rest of the group not to look in the faces of the hooded figures.
-The next room was a high vaulted domed roof with a beautiful tiled mosaic floor depicting a chimera in a scene.
-Beside the door we came through there were two others: one set of double doors and one door with "safe" written on it in chalk.
-Before the group could make a decision, the tiled chimera rose out of the floor to attack the group.
-Its first breath weapon hit practically the whole group pretty hard, but action economy prevailed and the chimera fell after just a round or two.
-The group went through the "safe" door and found a room with a well, basin and lever. The more curious of the group played with the objects trying to discover a secret to no obvious purpose. Jorn secretly thought to himself that it was akin to the group ringing the doorbell deeper within the complex. He watched the door in the chimera room with Jilfaen.
-After a time the group rejoined to head through the double doors. Jorn asked Onyx to check for traps. There were OBVIOUSLY none until Gojira tried the doors only to bring down boulders onto himself.
Things couldn't be going better for our heroes when we pick the story up on the 13th!!!!
