    Heading across to the far door, you proceed down another corridor into a small chamber. The only object of interest in this room is a statue at the far end, which appears to be something like a sarcophagus standing upright, engraved is a humanoid with a distorted face and tendrils for hair.

    The distorted head of the Sarcophagus begins to suddenly shift as the group enters the room, catching you all by surprise. Batlike wings unfurl from its temples and its eyes open, aglow with a ghastly green flame. The head lets out a piercing Shriek! The sound reverberates in your skulls, a strange terrifying pitch.

    Make a Fortitude save DC 12 or be Paralyzed with fear for (2d4)[3] rounds.

    Skewered by the harpoon, the strange head shaped creature's bat like wings begin to drop as it's immediately sliced to ribbons by the combination attack from Levyk and Geraldo.

    This creature is a lesser vargouille. The beastiary places this creature among those referred to as "Outsiders" - native neither to Solum nor the Dungeon, they take advantage of the weaker planar boundaries around the Dungeon to gain access for any number of reasons.

    This particular type is a being of evil and violence that delights in the suffering of others. It appears this one isn't fully developed as others have venom (this one doesn't) and turn victims paralyzed by their shriek into more vargouilles.


    The creature defeated, each character gains 300 XP. On one of the tendrils of the creature is a platinum ring.

    "Don't cut it up more than you need to, that thing's gonna be my helmet," Solstafir admonished. He couldn't answer what it was, but visually it was quite suitable to his purposes. He retrieved his harpoon and stored the remains of the vargouille inside his haversack after removing the platinum ring. "Guess we check this for magic along the rest of the loot later."

    "I think it's some form of Vargouille, they feed off pain and suffering. It isn't native to the dungeon, it must have come here to hunt..." Thanquil says before tailing off. He looks round the room seeing it empty apart from the sarcophagus on the far wall. "I guess we should investigate the sarcophagus as well. Should we check it for traps?

    While Orchid is examining the sarcophagus, Levyk steps aside. He makes three, four swings with his axe, looks at the head, the shaft, controls the leather straps on the handle... Everything is fine.
    He puts out his whetstone and sharpens the axe with it (although it isn't necessary).

    Something is wrong with his good old friend, he just can't tell what. His axe always was reliable before, but now?

    The next one, for sure! he whispers

    "Nothing fancy like that I'm afraid," Solstafir answered Orchid. "I'm not yet able to forge magic, but I'll get there. For now it's just a trophy to show off the creatures I have defeated."

    He eyed Levyk's ministrations critically; his craftman's eye can tell it is of good make and certainly not in need of sharpening. At least the other dwarf didn't seem to do it badly and ruin the edge.

    After the adrenaline from the previous skirmish has faded, Geraldo turns to Solstafir and says, "Sorry about doing more damage than necessary to the head. Being in this dungeon has me on edge and that thing had less vitality than I realized."

    He then notices that Orchid has started searching for traps and mentions, "If you find any, I'll help to disable them. Give me a holler." He then starts skulking around the room trying to sniff out any unusual scents.

    After careful examination, It appears the sarcophagus like statue is just a hunk of rock. The craftsmanship of the carving is surprisingly novice on close inspection.

    What you do find, however is a small gap behind the statue, carved into the wall. Working together to shift the heavy hunk of humble stone, you find a small pouch squatting in the recess of the wall that contains two rubies worth 100gp each and coinage worth a total of 300gp.

    Perhaps the others are looking at her; Aertre suspects so but keeps her face averted, as if looking around, while mentally cursing herself. So far she'd have to be considered a pretty poor reincarnation of her Aunt; she'd bungled her first spell and hadn't even been able to master herself to cast a second.

    She wasn't sure why that bother her — she'd spent the past few months telling anyone who would listen she didn't want anything to do with her violent aunt's spirit — but it did.

    Discovering no secret passages as you go, you enter the third door from the primary chamber. Another corridor 10 ft in width, this one much longer than the previous two. You eventually come upon a door.

    There don't appear to be any special passages and this door is much like its predecessors.

    Levyk (1d20+3)[7]

    The dull sound from outside of rain, wind, and thunder give the corridor a creeping ambiance. A cursory search finds no traps or locks.

    "I rather hope we finally get something able to take a hit or two. I expected much better thaan those pathetically weak fuzzballs." Previously the dwarf hadn't given much thought to the others' motivations, but it became increasingly clear some of their reasons for being here were involuntary or semi-voluntary, thus hoping for an easy ride instead of seeking challenges like he did. He grunted in displeasure. Nothing he could do about that.

    Despite its weakness he had collected the bigger fuzzball killed by his hammer. If they found nothing stronger behind the final door it would have to do as the first zombie he creates once he wields the power of necrocarnum.

    Without much pomp he threw the door open, keeping his harpoon at the ready.

    The door swings wide revealing a dark room, the light shining into it from the party's various light sources, you all see several moldering tables casting long shadows across the far wall, you see rusty implements of iron lie scattered across tables, a strange rope swings lazily from a recess in the ceiling in the middle of the room, tiny rivulets of water flowing down its coarse surface, surrounded by free falling droplets of water. Underneath an old iron drain devours the falling liquid, surrounded by dark stains.

    Among the tables, barely audible whispers immediately cease with the door's opening and three humanoid monsters raise themselves to their full height. Each standing over six and a half feet, grotesquely burly, eyes aglow with a dim red blaze. Their noses are long and flat, ears nubby and gnarled, jaws lined with jagged teeth. They growl a gravelly grumble in unison. They wear patchwork iron armor and raise their makeshift iron implements as they prepare for combat.

    Thanquil shuddered as the door opened on what looked to be a horrific torture chamber inhabited by monstrous hobgoblins. He starts to take a step back but holds himself thinking I will not show fear. Then for strength he begins to sing a song of the old heroes that his brother taught him. Taking courage from the song and the memories of his brother he holds fast, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow in preparation to shoot.

    Levyk, empowered by Thanquil's song, rushes out from the gap past Solstafir, his waraxe making its way into hobgoblin flesh, finding a gap in the armor between the creature's neck and shoulder, the hobgoblin gurgles briefly as blood spills onto the ground, mixing with the grease below.

    The other two Hobgoblins slip on the suddenly greased stone, collapsing prone as they track the dwarf's reckless onslaught, their companions gore darkening their complexion further as they are spattered by a rain of blood.

    Aertre's face darkens as the scene unfolds and her arm jerks up, almost of its own accord. The air crystalizes in front of her outstretched fingers and a bullet of ice hurtles toward one of the sprawled assailants before bouncing toward its companion.

    "Die!" she cries, in a voice a good bit deeper than its usual pitch. A gust of wind swirls around her, and for a moment she actually seems to gain in stature — or perhaps she just stood up straighter.
