Session 10

After a long rest, the group took care of some basic repairs to gear and goods. Those nat 20s really tear up the goods. They also learned that the new shield+1 they found belonged to the Balan Family. The Balan’s were a prominent Noble family in the region, till about 160 years ago when they made an ill-fated section to move south and got overwhelmed by forces that lived in the forest. The shield was part of a display in the Library/Museum of the Temple of the Ruby Sorceress, it was stolen just over 2 years ago. How this shield ended up in the Duzursk Family Crypt is a mystery.

The Ruby Sorceress Temple had an outstanding reward for the return of the shield, of 150 gold crowns. The party negotiated 5 healing potions and a big thank you. The Senior Librarian (Elder Jez Enzile) seemed pleased with the exchange and the party.

Jez Enzile is a human female, with a severe look to her. Her clerical robe is very proper, and correct. Her hair is tight and held in place by numerous pins, she wears light touches of makeup along her cheeks (blush) and around her eyes (dull grey eyeliner).

When the group returned to the Tomb, they met 9 guards, they presented the group with attitude but Thabuli was having none of that, and rolled a 24 on his Intimidation, while the Guards rolled a collective 12. They changed their demeanour and left promptly. 

Once into the tomb, the door was locked behind them. The oppressive nature of the tomb was still evident, claustrophobic and cloying, the air distasteful and sour. The group stormed the main room, quickly finding the next group to fight, which brought the final room to the fight. It was an intense battle, no nat 20s for the bad guys but the party did manage to get the wight trapped in a Maximillian’s Earthen Grasp, once again stopping his dangerous onslaught.

The group fought a wight, a ghoul, 6 skeletons and 5 zombies and once gain, declared victory! They even earned a level. After a short and much-needed rest, the group investigated. They rolled excellently.
