Aleksandr taps into the vitality he has left to sear the undead while Imelia steps into a flanking position.

Aleksandr ◆◆ Cast a Spell (Disrupt Undead) DC 20 basic Fortitude.

Despite the horror of the situation, Athelsted tries to remain calm. He closes his eyes and quietly calls upon the goddess before turning his gaze and feathered holy symbol towards the undead.
"As the Eternal Rose springs forth from the earth, may your forms so return to it and become beds anew for flowering growth."
Positive energy disperses through him within a 30-foot emanation. This targets all living and undead creatures in the burst.
|
|
Aleksandr sends divine energy at Red but it shrugs it off. It does not, however, avoid Imelia's strike which removes its head.
Erlam hurls a bottle of blue liquid at Blue. The bottle smacks him in the chest and causes him to stiffen. In his shocked state, Blue also fails to dodge the lightning.
Athelstead sends out a wave of healing energy. The wave closes the parties' wounds and causes the undead creatures' flesh to boil. Blue fails to resist the energy and collapses, smoking, to the ground. White's flesh also smokes but he's still up.
Nanoc is able to find an angle on White and sinks an arrow into his shoulder. His second arrow, however, shatters on the opposite wall.

White isn't prepared for Armin's attack and with a screech, drops.
You move onto the next room and notice that this place has seen battle. Debris fills this area. The scars of a battle long past mar the walls, both from physical weapons and magical attacks.

Armin hands out little chunks of chocolate to any takers, after the fight. He munches on some himself while binding his wounds.
"Oooo, look at this!" Armin exclaims as he retrieves a book from under a table. He flips through the few intact pages and reads bits of the passages aloud.
"Kinda funny language... definitely old entries, not at all connected to any recent activity."
|
|
Folmyr recognizes that his companions have feet...
Armin finds a book and stows it away, sure that Ambrus would be interested in it.
Moving on, the corridor narrows, which forces you to go single file. An evil smell begins to permeate as you navigate the corridor. The narrow corridor ends in a room with what appears to be a pit.
The smell of rotting offal and blood fills this room. A spout of blood flows from the north wall into the pit below. The pit is half full, blood and offal making a viscous, stinking stew. A carving on the eastern wall depicts a giant figure raising a massive stone from the sea and an island with it. The carving also shows a reflection beneath that raised island of a shadowy land emerging as well, as if reflected in the sea, only the lack of the giant figure and the massive stone indicates this is more than a reflection being depicted.

You realize that there is a magical hazard that could cause harm to the party.

"Halt, everyone!" Nanoc comes to a sudden stop. "There's something perilous ahead of us, from this room." He then skillfully executes some occultic moves with mumbling of gibberish to counteract the impending danger.
"I think the smell is what is left in it." he comments after his performance.
Nanoc then cautiously enters the room. "Behold! This mural depicts the god Aroden raising the Starstone and the Isle of Kortos from beneath the sea." he stretches his arms as if presenting the walls to them.
"Well, that is all I know for now. I believe this is the moment we take the rubbings of these murals." he begins to do the dirty work.
|
|
Nanoc mutters some arcane words and somehow defuses the fell energies. Once he does that, the stench lessens and you are able to take a rubbing of the far wall.
The next room is much like the one before the smelly one. It appears some savage battle raged here.
Signs of another battle fought long ago are in abundance: scorch marks cover walls made of uneven stone, slashes from blades and arrows scar the walls further in, preserved in this collapsed extraplanar demesne. The fighting here seems to have been much more intense than in the earlier chamber.
|
|
Athelsted offers magical healing to any who wish it. "With those undead gone, we should not be so unfortunate as to encounter any other threats."
Following th others, he considers the mural.
Then the scorch marks.
Listening to the other's conclusions, he notes, "Let us hope the moment of intensity is now long past."
|
|
Folmyr glances up after studying everyone's feet and finds the second part of Alystair's Caskwater's journal. Armin notices the scorch marks and notices that everyone has a weapon...
The long corridor exits into a much larger chamber, its north wall filed with an enormous carved stone mural, this time of a great battle against a draconic foe. Depicted within the mural, a great many faces stand behind a singular individual, weapons raised as a dragon attacks. The hands raising weapons behind the hero are skeletal in nature, and their faces skulls. Stairs descend to the west, a sturdy door made of a black metal of some sort stands to the south, and a slim corridor exits to the east.
Not surprisingly, it's locked.
|
|
"This bit of art is not as ... umm... significant? as the others, but maybe we should collect a rubbing here as well, before moving on?"
"All art bears significance, even if such is not always readily apparent to the one perceiving it," chimes Athelsted, assuming a preaching tone. "It is the effort that the artist instills within the work--not the product of such--that imbues the work with significance. For what more significant act can there be than the bringing of something new and unique into the world? Whether it be an act of creativity, bringing forth a new artistic expression in music or sculpture, or an act of love, which brings forth new experiences and, at times, new beings into the world."
The cleric of Shelyn removes his backpack in an effort to secure more paper and chalk for the rubbing. He offers some to Armin and begins to make a rubbing himself before he follows the others.

The first feeling that this room gives is the promise of home and light. The second is a palpable wave of dread, as a wave of negative energy flows into the chamber, pouring into the open sarcophagus at its center. Excess energy flows around like a foul wind, smelling faintly of ozone. In the distance, screams echo, or perhaps laughter? It's impossible to make out. A tattered and rotted body quickly rises from the sarcophagus, garbed in rotted and torn fabrics that may have once been a sign of nobility.
"Finally, I can feel that I'm freed from that accursed lich, and I believe I have you to thank. Sadly, the only gratitude I can offer is death. I need your strength to become my strength, so I can repay those who betrayed me!"
The creature draws a huge sword and attacks. Somewhere off to the side you hear a loud crash and two other creatures shamble into the room.

Armin shakes his head at the undead creature's bravado.
Why are they always so bad at calculating the odds?
Embracing his own nature, the robust halfling shares some of his overflowing vitality with Folmyr before launching a bolt of light at the enemy.
◆ cast Life Link on Folmyr (Armin takes the first 3 damage the other would take each turn)
◆◆ cast Divine Lance on Alystair

Erlam hurls a pair of bombs at Alystair. Unfortunately, Alystair's look must have distracted him and he hurls the bombs at the back wall instead. Fortunately he didn't hurl them at his feet or it would be painful...
Armin links himself to Folmyr and sends some goodness at Alystair. Alystair is caught completely by surprise and catches it full in the face. His flesh boils and smokes as he howls in pain, indicating a weakness to Good damage.
Alystair strides forward and swings his massive sword at Folmyr.

Aleksandr steps away from the front line and then casts a spell that Imelia unleashes as fury of sound.

◆◆ Act Together
Aleksandr ◆◆ Cast a Spell (Thundering Dominance)
Imelia ◆ Thundering Roar (auditory, concentrate, emotion, enchantment, fear, flourish, mental, sonic) The target unleashes a powerful vocalization.

(Affects all 3 enemies, DC 20 Will)

Aleksandr steps away, but not before giving Imelia some extra clout. Imelia roars and her enemies tremble.
Alystair shrugs it off and only sneers at her. Red catches the full force of the blast. Blue isn't as lucky and takes extra damage, it also looks really shaken by the force.

"I haven't considered this... Hmm..." Nanoc retreats behind his allies and identifies what is the best way to hurt what is close to him, recalling what specifically he is targeting.
"Aha!"

You identify Alystair and company as Draugrs. They are undead vulnerable to positive damage. They are resistant to fire and have the standard undead immunities (death effects, disease, paralyzed, poison, unconscious). Alystair is the same as Red/Blue, only meaner and stronger.
Folmyr flies into a rage and gets in Alystair face, but doesn't hit.
Nanoc manages to find a weakness about Red and buries an arrow into the creature's eye, re-killing it. Althestead discovers something about Alystair before sending divine aid to Armin. Erlam hurls a pair of alchemical bombs at Blue and lights him up like a torch. Blue looks like he's about to crumble and is barely standing.
As Red collapses, Nanoc feels like he's on a boat in the middle of the a storm-tossed sea ( mariner’s curse ).

Armin's divine lance easily finishes Blue off. But he suddenly feels seasick, as if he's in the boat with Nanoc on a stormy sea.
Alystair roars in anger at the demise of his minions. He steps back before swinging his massive sword at Folmyr.
