Session 51 - The Ravenous Crypts

Erastus 7

The group went back to the Shimmering Veils to rest and returned the next day to the Ravenous Crypts. All the doors were locked and the rooms were empty. As the party mapped the rooms to make sure they didn't miss anything, they finally came to a room with more mummies in it. Having learned from the last battle, the party was more careful of their disease touch.

They found a secret door leading to a hallway. Phain sneaked down the hallway and saw an undead creature using surgical tools on a dead body. The party got hasted and charged into the room taking down the undead surgeon in no time. Another search found yet another secret door.

Opening that door they were quickly attacked by a lich. Xantumal was hit by a spell instantly killing him, but Preacher was there to use Breath of Life and save him from dying. Phain hit the lich with a lightning bolt, but when Orik hit it, the lich disappeared. Phain cast see invisible and found that the lich was actually in a separate corner. Phain moved and hit it with a lightning bolt but it had no effect. The lich cast a few damaging spells on the party, and became visible to everyone. Orik and Vale hit it a few times, driving it away when the lich cast a dimension door.

The group having no idea where it could have gone, grouped up and got healed before starting the search for the lich.
