Navir will try to poke through his alies with his long spear.
With Vernon's blow, Bheg staggers slightly and seems a bit disorientated before Navir finishes him off.
Loot: 6 doses of greenblood oil
robe of needles
alchemy crafting kit
formula book
Vernon cleans the muck from his chain, then offers to help Navir do the same. "Is that the result of him using his own product? He turned himself into an undead monster?"
"Good riddance to such rubbish! What's next?"
Audi just sneers at the now dead alchemist.
Pharasma does not suffer fools.
The gnoll looks ready to continue exploring for more cultists....
If no one objects, Rhade puts on that shiny robe of needles. He didn’t much plan on getting involved in melee anyway, so he could put the needles to good usage.
"Look for more clues, I guess?"
Ra=Khefer, you think that one of the stones to the south is out of kilter, you think there may be a secret door there but you can't see how to open it.
Audi looks a bit curiously at Ra-Khefer.
Find something interesting, did you.
The Gnoll cast Guidance on himself, as he takes out a crowbar.
The Gnoll looks back at the Dwarf.
Appears to be stuck.
Rhade moves forward and takes a look.
Perception
If he finds the secret door, he tries to open it up. After checking for traps of course.
Perception
Disable device
"Rhade, seems to know what he is doing. I will leave it to him unless he asks for help. He seems so focused and determined."
Rhade, you find the secret door and the mechanism to open it. The door opens into a small alcove. Inside are 4 doses of mumia.
”Well, lookie here,” Rhade nods to the others, showing them the prize he had discovered. ”Anyone want to carry this stuff?”
"Not me"
The gnoll looks at the findings, shrugs and turns to continue the exploration.
Vernon steps up behind Canetor as he speaks to the others, "I hate cleaning the much off of my chain after battle. I mean blood, muscle, gristle and such are OK. But the muck of the undead.... Oh yeah, sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt." He gives what he hopes is a very insincere looking grin as he shakes the links of the relatively clean chain.
"These are fair people but they are not patient nor are they forgiving so I would talk fast."
"Look, we were just here to loot and trade in mumia. Bheg took a liking to it and it turned him into that thing. We don't know anything about all these undead that are about. Maybe its got something to do with that person in the mask we saw near the Pyramid of Arithmetic Bliss."
The Pyramid of Arithmetic Bliss; you say? Do tell us more of that.
The gnoll grins at the not cultists, but idiots.
"Yes! And describe the masked person. Any details.... Tall? Short? Race? Male or Female? For good information we might even be willing to escort you safely out of here so the undead can't kill you!"
"Bheg is just goo now, so you don't need to fear him...."
"Don't know much about it, never been there. I think it used to be the old stonemason's guild. It's to the far north of the necropolis. The person we saw was a medium sized female I think."
”Anything else we need to know about this masked lady?”
The Pyramid of Arithmetic Bliss used to be the old stonemason's guild. Makes sense.
The Gnoll then begins preparations for traveling to the far north of the necropolis.
So, good luck, boys. We gots some undead freak-loving cultists to eliminate.
Vernon shrugs and turns to leave. "Useful, but not great information. We've cleared any undead in this area. If you run fast the way to the gate should be clear...."
A long neglected garden and thirty foot tall obelisks decorate this broad, walled in courtyard. Several squat outbuildings stand near the western wall, but a sprawling sandstone building with a steeply pitched pyramidal roof and elaborate reliefs dominates the property.
Vernon pauses to look around before deciding a direction. "No open doors from the departed undead? This looks almost like the digs during the lottery. Should we check the outbuildings before knocking on the front door?"
Audi looks about the place. The gnoll glances at the outer buildings. He nods in agreement to Vernon.
He then begins searching over the area for Tracks. He cast Guidance.
You do not find any tracks, it does not look as if anything has come here for centuries. Ra-Khefer you can tell that the building dates from before the Plague of Madness and is not a true pyramid but some kind of architect's guild. You can all hear a faint babbling giggling sound coming from inside
Vernon moves toward the entrance at Ra-Khefer's question. "Giggling? What sort of messed up undead monster giggles?"
The gnoll looks quite taken back by the other sounds of giggling. He frowns.
Well, whatever is making that noise, should be sharing the joke with us!
The Warpriest cast Guidance before entering.....
"Maybe it'll be too busy laughing to hear us?"
Vernon you can hear the giggling and babbling
Perception
Rhade listens for anything weird, seeing the reactions from the others.
Navir you recognise the sound as belong to allips, a type of undead. They are incorporeal, their touch does wisdom damage and their babbling noise can cause people to become fascinated.
"Yep! Giggling. Something pretending to be a silly girl?"
"We will need magic weapons or force weapons for these creatures. They are incorporeal."
Once everyone is ready Naivr will lead the way after casting emergency force weapon.
Audi grins at Navir.
Sounds like a party.
The gnoll activates his Death Blessing, takes out his scimitar, activates Axiomatic on it; and enters the room.
Honey, I am home!
