Session 113 - Death’s bounty

You made it to the end of the corridor and found a tomb with a smashed sarcophagus and chests. Investigating found everything to be empty. Chad opened the door at the far end of the room only for a cloud of yellow mould spores to billow out. Thruz and Joe were impacted badly but Chad was dying from the inhalation until healed by Mina. Joe flipped over the sarcophagus in a mighty feat of strength but no secret doors were underneath. Mina searched around the walls looking for secret doors and found one.

Behind the door was a corridor with a stone door at the end. The door the image of half bat priest holding a fresh human heart etched into it. Chad started hammering on the door but the door started glowing. Malice detected some sort of magical trap. A Hivernian zombie guard was attracted by the noise of the hammering but was dispatched by a flurry of force axes. Eventually Chad hammered the door down only to find a wave of flesh eating beetles coming towards him. This was dispatched after 2 casts by Malice’s fog cloud, this time without anybody standing in it.

The room on the other side contained another sarcophagus with treasure piled up around it. A horrific scene involving the Snow Bat cowering before Orcus was depicted on the far wall. Malice’s detect magic found a mask inside the sarcophagus that contained a soul. The treasure, including magic items, was divided up. You agreed to open the sarcophagus somehow…
