Stairwell into Darkness

📚 Annalana: The huge door in front of us has the face of a man with one eye, and the other eye is sewn shut. (Lich King.) The carving is excessively decorated. In the corner there is a basically mummified body. Kaelon explores the body, finding a magic item, a magic belt. Girdle of Oaths. All magic belts increase recoveries. You can give yourself an unlimited bonus recovery and for each one you have to make a big oath. Annalana kicks the door and the one eye on the sculpture lights up dark red, “Name the Lord of Death” and enter. Steinar speaks “Wizard King” and the door swings open.

Beyond the Door

📚 Annalana: A small room with stairs beyond. At the bottom of the stairs is a room with large and small urns. On the opposite side of the room there are two statues, pointing at us. Annalana insists on shooting an urn to test for traps. Elis insists that she shoots the oldest, most decrepit and she does. The urn shatters, revealing a skeletal priest and five skeletal guardians. During the battle Annalana gets badly wounded and an urn flies out and hits her, hurting her even more. Elis used his faith, shaped it into a spear and killed the priest with it.

Exploring the room after combat

📚 Annalana: Annalana stands in the middle of the room, enjoying her cloak. Steinar notices gems in the eyes of the statues but ignores them, however Kaelon notices the gems and heads over… and it turns out that the gem is actually a good false gem made of glass. Everyone begins to bicker intensely while Kaelon slips away, into the next room.

Room with Slabs

📚 Annalana: Kaelon explored this area first. When we arrive, Annalana examines a broken door as a clue to get into the other rooms. Each door rotated around the center, and they had “live wires” running into them, though magical. Steinar learns that the statues in the other room are powering the doors in this room. In this room when you cross halfway the doors open and magical attacks go off. Steinar does a ritual to disable the doors, allowing us to run the gauntlet to get through the room. With the one trap disabled, we run through the room while bolts of magical energy fly out at us.

Bone Room

📚 Annalana: Annalana goes into the room made of bone work (instead of stonework). The floor is uneven due to the bones. As we approach our light sources do not penetrate the lanterns in the shadows. “That’s weird”, says Steinar. The Elf Queen is known to have slain the white dragon and captured the green by the Elf Queen. On the altar there is a single green dragon scale. Annalana picks it up while Elis complains that finger oil will ruin it. Kaelon mentions that there is fresh blood on the altar, coursing through carved channels in the altar. From other rooms we begin to hear chanting, similar to Steinar’s chant of endings with a tinge of Elis’ spirits of the righteous. From one of the rooms is a wight with a tessellated pattern of the Lich King.
